About your workshop leader, Dorothy Luther
Dorothy has over fifteen years experience in IT system development, covering greenfield development, major extensions to applications and reuse of data for Business Intelligence analysis. The need to develop architectural models covering process, information, application and technology became apparent from these projects.
Along with experience of a variety of corporate cultures, Dorothy has also implemented successful system upgrades and conversions in banking, retail and government sectors. She studied IBM's methodologies while facing the challenges of the telecommunications industry, where business systems architecture is particularly complex.
Dorothy has been invited to teach at university in business system architecture, operations management and system development methods, passing on skills and practical experience related to the theory students are taught. She has received two university grants to develop additional teaching and learning materials, based on her industrial experience.
