BYOS Foundations

Build-Your-Own-System (BYOS) is a DIY system building technique without coding, based on integration of open source technologies and web resources.  With BYOS, non-technical users can design and build their own practical digital solutions, such as an intranet, knowledge repository, a PKM system, etc.  This is also an excellent approach for digital transformation for organizations and the individuals because it facilitates switching to a digital mindset.
 
This workshop prepares participants to be a BYOS System Builder.  Unlike a system developer, it does not require programming knowledge or background.  It is technical, but manageable by non-technical users.  The learning curve of BYOS is steep without guidance, but it's been proven successful by non-technical people following the workshop approach, which emphasize on hands-on experience.  This experience by itself is a digital transformation experience.
 
The main objective of BYOS is to develop non-technical business people to build their own digital solutions in real life.  We emphasize the BayGO approach, which is actually a design-thinking process.  The advantage is to make-sense how things should be done and organized to fit our real life needs through an iterative prototyping process.  The BYOS technology is based on flexible, shareable yet customizable technology based on open-source environment.  Cost of system building can become extremely low.

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

This BYOS Foundation workshop covers the fundamental knowledge and skills for BYOS system building, which prepares participants to advance to other workshops with real life applications.  This workshop is designed to be part of a series of workshops with the objective of a final digital solution, therefore it is a pre-requisite to other workshops, particularly the one on knowledge base.  It is structured in such a manner to facilitate learning.

The workshop can be run either in groups or individually.  Each participant will work hands-on on their own, with all appropriate resources.  It is important to understand that more time should be spent on system building rather than lessons.  This is how the workshop is designed, based on action-based learning.  1-on-1 remote assistance will be provided.

 

HIGHLIGHTS

  • This is not a programming course.  It is about putting the right modules together to form a system.
  • It is about structuring content, system and workflow, and how to design and build a digital solutions to fit our needs.
  • Learning by experience is the key allows going through the logical reasoning behind every digital activity.
  • 1-on-1 remote assistance supplement the learning experience like a mentor.
