Welcome to Iasa Mentoring! As the landscape of business and technology evolves, the role of Business Technology(BT) Architects becomes increasingly critical. To support the development of these professionals, the profession needs a comprehensive mentoring method to guide the development of architect competencies and measured results.
The mentoring program aims to provide BT Architects with the knowledge, skills, and guidance needed to excel in their roles and drive successful business transformations. But it also serves to protect clients and the public from unhealthy practices and damaging technology. It ensures not just that the person has learned something but that they are qualified to provide guidance in business technology direction. Mentoring is the backbone of a healthy and mature profession.
Review the career path (https://iasa-global.github.io/btabok/career.html) and the mentoring method (https://iasa-global.github.io/btabok/mentoring.html) from the BTABoK.
The program is based on direct relationships with mentors. This means that you can start immediately after registration! No more waiting for the course to start in a few months, planning travel when you really want to get started today. You and a senior architect will immediately be connected and your mentoring begins immediately. And because you can select from mentors in all timezones, you can find someone who can work with your schedule.
Each week the mentee is assigned a certain amount of learning and homework.
The mentor will provide one to two mentoring sessions per week to discuss and help with the reading. This is a discussion session which helps the mentee understand the depth and nature of the assignment.
When the mentee has completed the assignment the mentor gives an in-depth review of the material both off-line and then with the mentee. The mentee has a chance to redo the assignment until it meets the minimum quality of the foundation or advanced education.
The grading for certification is done based on completed work and a final assignment. The mentee will present their final assignment to the mentor and grading team.
The guided or structured mentoring that an early-stage architect would receive. This stage of learning is for architects who are getting practical experience in the building blocks of architecture. Generally this type of mentoring is focused on specific tasks and learning that the mentee needs to repeat to grow. This stage is characterized by structured learning, task assignment and repetition to grow the baseline skills of a more senior architect.
Structured mentoring is a completely new way to learn and grow your architecture skills. Because it is mentoring based you will work on your own materials and at your own level even if you are more senior in your career. This allows you to apply the concepts in the materials instead of simply learning them. Each week, your mentor will review your deliverables with you, providing invaluable feedback about your skills, current level and the sophistication of your approach. All of this in a structured and duplicable mentoring environment
Mentors work with a group of mentees through the learning path. In open mentoring, the group is a mix of mentees from all over, so you get to learn with others from different backgrounds. But mentees can also work with a full team to mentor them through numerous shared programs.
The organization-based mentoring allows your team to work with a mentor through the same assignments but applied to their own work and in the context of your organization. You will need a group of 5 or more to request a dedicated mentoring relationship
