In 2017 International TechneGroup/ITI asked over 200 customers from various industries about their Model-Based Enterprise (MBE) practices. The big story here is that 18% are struggling to understand MBE, and 16% identified culture change as their MBE challenge. To me this implies that over 30% of the challenge to MBD (Model-Based Definition) and MBE (Model-Based Enterprise) can be solved with effective training and education.
