Section 1 andSection 2 of this Certification course were extracted from Sections 2 and 3 of Module 2: Rapid Delivery Methods for Enterprise Architecture. These are repeated here and intended to enable you to review the main principles of business-driven data modeling and business normalization before completing the Data Modeling Workshop in Section 3, which is the CBDM Exam. You are also required to complete the Quizzes in Section 3.
This Course comprises 3 Sections and a total of 30 lectures and 2 quizzes that teach the Business-Driven Data Modeling and the Business Normalization concepts used for business-driven data modeling projects. Each Lecture includes a Lecture Description. Each lecture may also have resources available to be downloaded. These are listed in a table of Resources Available on the back page of each Section Cover Sheet that is printed double-sided. This table notes the Section and Lecture where the resource can be found. Click the Resources Available button in one of these lectures and next click the Filename on the screen to download the resource in PDF.
Section 1 Lectures 1 – 14 teach the concepts of Business-Driven Data Mapping.- In Section 1 Lecture 1, Fully-Assembled CBDM Course Handouts for the entire course can be downloaded in PDF to use when viewing the video lectures in the Course.

Clive Finkelstein has now retired after more than 50 years in the IT Industry, in Australia and the USA. From 1976 - 1980 he developed, in Australia with his company IInformation Engineering Services Pty Ltd)IES), the Information Engineering (IE) methodology. IE was popularised worldwide in the 1980s following publication of the co-authored book by: James Martin and Clive Finkelstein, Information Engineering, Savant Institute, Carnforth: Lancs (Nov 1981). This is the book that started the IE Revolution of the 1980s.
From 1995 – 2000, Clive Finkelstein developed an enhanced version of IE, called: Enterprise Engineering. He developed this methodology for the rapid delivery of Enterprise Architecture (EA) into production as databases and systems, in 3-month increments of increasing functionality. Enterprise Engineering is based on the Zachman Framework for Enterprise Architecture that was earlier developed by John Zachman. Clive teaches the rapid EA delivery Enterprise Engineering discipline personally in his Udemy Courses and Workshops:
Rapid Delivery Workshop for Enterprise Architecture
