Conceptually superior systems saves time and money

Crafting and visualizing your conceptualizations is the essential first step in the development of any product, business or software system.

It is actually quite simple.

• No concepts => no language => no system.
  
• Inconsistent concepts => vague language => malfunctioning systems.
• Great concepts => clear language => superior systems.
• Superior systems => saves time and money!

This course teach you how to use concept mapping, also called domain modeling or conceptual modeling to

• Acquire knowledge faster,
• Communicate clearer,
• Develop more superior products, business and software systems,
• Improve your creative thinking.

This saves both time and money when developing your business, product or software.

Visualize your concepts - fewer detours

Mapping your concepts helps you straighten out and visualize your and your co-workers' conceptualizations about the situation at hand or future scenarios, so that you get a shared understanding on where you are heading and get rid of misunderstandings and confusions early on. This makes it possible for you to create awesome business and software systems much faster with fewer detours.

Often you cannot even state or even less solve a problem at hand if you do not have a well-tuned conceptual model as a basis. Ask any experienced software developer and they can tell you about the frustration in dealing with systems that conceptually do not match the reality of the task they are design to solve.

How we conceptualize the world and how we communicate about those conceptualizations and jointly, using language, create all types of intangible constructs, such as services, products, businesses and societies, is such a fundamental part of what makes us human beings that we often do not even pay attention to it. And yet, most misunderstandings, bad communication and malfunctioning systems and businesses, usually boils down to just this:

I am not “understanding” your “take on the world”

Hence, we might be rushing off in the completely wrong direction. This is one of the more extensive time thieves in any joint venture between people and it is simply such a big waste of time!

An in-depth advanced course

I have used my, over 16 years of experiences in professionally developing businesses, software and startups to create this in-depth course for both the layman and the professional entrepreneur, business or software developer.

The course covers over 60 high quality lectures and spans cross-disciplines, covering everything you need to know from research in cognitive science and 2 500 years of philosophy, to state-of-the-art system development theory and practical hands on experience on how to run workshops and document the result afterwards. And of course, it is packed with lots of tricks of the trade and real world examples.

"The course gave you very good insights in the foundations of concept modelling and, then, transitioned into more practical parts, with exercises and examples."

"The best thing about the course was the mix of theory and practice and that it actually was advanced."

"The course triggered a lot of thoughts in me about what we ought to dig in to within my own area. Attending a course automatically gives you time for reflexion."
