NDC London: Architecture isn't Kubernetes
Architecture, in the systems age, is not (just) Kubernetes. It is is designing relationships between parts (people and tech parts) then adapting those relationship patterns as circumstances change.
OOP: Mindshifts -- Thriving in the Systems Age
In my lifetime, we have experienced the equivalent of 20,000 years of change. Nonlinear change. In many respects, we are the architects of change, yet we seem to do the same things again and again, expecting different results.
Learning Systems Thinking
3-hour workshop exploring systems thinking, a set of tools and practices that can help you holistically grasp goals, parts and patterns connect, interact, and influence outcomes. Create conceptual models to guide impactful decisions, and much more.
DDD Academy
4 Day Remote Workshop: Learning Systems Thinking
Systems thinking practices that will help you make impactful changes -- despite the emerging complexity of modern systems.
Architecture is Designing Knowledge Flow
In the tech industry, we are most interested in knowledge stock: What do you know? This focus is holding many individuals, teams and organizations back. As relational complexity increases, individual knowledge stock is insufficient. What we need is knowledge flow. The ability to craft and share knowledge in ways that enable the best possible decisions, under the circumstances, in the midst of change.

Essential Non-linear Skills and Practices for Software Professionals
As the relational complexity of our software systems increases, our traditional, linear thinking approaches are insufficient. Software professionals, especially those building interdependent software and services need to think in systems. This workshop explores practices that help us holistically grasp how all the pieces of a software system or organization connect, interact, and influence outcomes.
Essential Non-linear Skills and Practices for Software Professionals
To transform what we push to production, we must transform how we learn, communicate, and collaborate with others. In this workshop, you’ll understand how interrelated and interdependent parts (in people and software) act together to create patterns. You’ll learn to create conceptual models to guide impactful decisions. Through hands-on exercises and a real-world scenario, you'll recognize the common mistakes orgs make when solving systems problems.
