Employees often experience confusion about their tasks, responsibilities, and authority.
DEMO (Design and Engineering Methodology for Organisations) offers a structured way of thinking that helps clarify an organisation by making it understandable from four coherent perspectives
The social aspect of modelling
In DEMO, the focus during modelling is primarily on the social aspect, as both its way of thinking and notation are grounded in human action and interaction rather than automated processes. This approach makes roles and responsibilities within an organisation much clearer, helping individuals navigate complex situations without losing sight of their position or purpose.
Organisational Change and Transformation
Another key benefit of the DEMO method is its flexibility during organisational change or restructuring. You don’t need to rebuild the entire model from scratch — parts of it can simply be adjusted, removed, or expanded. DEMO has been used for over 20 years in Enterprise Engineering projects, helping to create a solid bridge between business and IT within organisations.

During the training, you will work with the Simplified Modelling Platform.
As a participant, you will receive one year of free access to the professional version, allowing you to collaborate in real-time with the instructor and fellow participants on the same model.
Our training sessions are highly practical and supported by relevant theory. During the sessions, you actively work on your own case, allowing you to apply the methodology directly to a familiar situation.
This personalised approach helps you understand the DEMO4 methodology faster and use it effectively within your own organisational context.
The training is now available at a significant discount.
If you register now, the training—including materials—costs €2,300 excluding VAT instead of €3,200.
After registration, you will receive the invoice by email. A 50% deposit is required no later than two weeks before the first session. The remaining balance must be paid in full by the day before the training begins.
Our DEMO 4 Professional trainings are developed by experienced experts, specifically for professionals in the field. The training is delivered by skilled modelers who apply the DEMO 4 methodology daily in a variety of practical cases. They guide you step-by-step through the theory and provide realistic examples, enabling you to practice and apply the methodology to your own case.
By the end of this training, you’ll be fully prepared to take the DEMO 4 Professional Exam — which is included in the price.
Once you pass, you’ll officially be a certified DEMO 4 Professional. You’ll have the skills to model organisations or complex situations using the DEMO 4 methodology, and you’ll be able to confidently make changes to existing models on your own.
