At the conference Building Business Capability, Marco Wobben will present an hour of Fact Oriented Modeling. In this session he will speak about Facts, Communication, Natural Language, and how the Dutch Railways applied it in their Data Drive strategy to provide more value to the organization, lower risk, and create a common understanding among stakeholders.
