Dear newsletter readers,

It’s funny – the virtuality we’ re being forced into actually makes us reach more people than ever:

With an all-time high of 13 IBCS lectures since the beginning of the year we have raised interest among more than a thousand attendees.
No matter where you are from you can now learn the IBCS notation in a video course and attend both the IBCS WITH SUCCESS training and workshop online for becoming an IBCS Certified Analyst.
You can also attend the IBCS Annual Conference on July 2 because it will be hybrid, so also online.

Let’s be happy about this ‘Doctor Jekyll’ side of the situation.

Stay safe and healthy
Jürgen Faisst, Rolf Hichert and Edyta Szarska
