1. Train Skills

   With training programs on the topic of DDD, Event Storming, Wardley Mapping, event sourcing, and CQRS my company will increase the tactical skills of your software teams.

   

   A CTO once told me that most approaches concerning the design of software architecture feel academic. That's why I make sure that whatever I'm teaching you, you will learn from real-world examples, and practice to apply the lessons in your organization.

2. Foster Autonomy

   Learn to love your legacy, by mapping your ecosystem of applications, domains, teams, and more. Effectiveness is all about setting teams up for success: Let's reduce bad dependencies and leverage existing systems, without introducing coupling.

   

   With my help your people will introduce models and abstractions that protect the integrity of the system, and the autonomy of the teams. A competent workforce that is organized poorly will have to fight the software architecture and other teams in order to achieve its goals, but with helpful boundaries there will be less hampering, more collaboration, and a shorter feedback loop.

3. Refine Strategy

   Look before you leap and make sure that all teams are working on initiatives that propel the organization forward, because there will always be more ideas than capacity to implement.

   

   The achilles heal of technology-driven organizations is that they are capable of producing anything, but just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Being strategic means that your organization optimizes for the evolution of your product offering and the systems that deliver this offering.
