My mission: help (software) tech-enabled organizations scale a sustainable fast flow of change by co-evolving their teams/org and technical systems & products driven by their customer, environment, and business goals.

To accomplish this mission, I develop and provide services & resources in three core areas:

Customer, Teams & Tech-driven Co-Evolution

Tech Vision, Strategy & Operating Models

"Enabling Tech Leadership" Coaching, Training & Advising

Help tech-enabled orgs achieve a sustainable evolution by developing ways to better understand customers' needs and co-evolve their team topologies and technology-enabled products using modern techniques, such as Team Topologies, Domain-Driven Design, Wardley Mapping, etc. +details (services & resources) Help develop "learning organizations" that can continuously adapt their product/technical vision, strategies, and operating model as a function of their customer (& environment) challenges and business goals - instead of recurring disruptive and frustrating big re-orgs! +details (services & resources) Help develop "SocioTechnical Maestros" - people that understand the customer and environment and can set "enabling constraints" that help drive a sustainable evolution of the teams and technical products as a holistic sociotechnical system (instead of a set of functional silos). +details (services & resources)

  • 🌟[June 2023] new Team Topologies Academy video course "Effective Enabling Teams". This course helps understand the importance of Enabling Teams and how to kickstart and scale them to support a sustainable fast flow of change and value in an org.

🛠 Approach

  • I coach, train, advise, and consult to help you define ways to navigate and "skill up" in these core areas required to sustainably evolve your tech-enabled organization.
  • This can be a short consulting session, multi-day immersive workshop (collective experience to understand and orient to successfully "kickstarting" a modernization initiative), or longer-term engagement - where I can help you assess & understand where you are, how to start moving and also help/coach you and your teams on adopting and changing key elements that help you to achieve a more sustainable co-evolution of your teams/org & tech systems.
  • I like to call that "Enabling Tech Leadership", i.e.: shifting from classical hierarchies and bureaucratic structures, to enabling structures where we aim at maximizing teams ability and potential.
  • You can find more details on the specific services and activities I provide on each of the pages of the areas. If you think I can help and we should collaborate, don't hesitate on contacting me.

⭐ī¸ Products

  • Effective Enabling Teams - Video Course - this is my video course with Manuel Pais (co-author of Team Topologies), where we lay down key foundations to understand the importance of Enabling Teams to address capability gaps and support a fast flow of changes and value to customers. You will learn how and when to kickstart, measure and scale Enabling Teams. This is a self-paced 3h course, with many examples, experiences (use cases), and exercises to help accelerate your journey towards Effective Enabling Teams.
  • Sociotechnical Systems Evolution and Architecture Workshop - this is a four-half day workshop I normally do with Michael Ploed, where we facilitate a "collective experience" to learn, practice, and discuss thinking models, tools, and methods that allow unlocking and driving sustainable co-evolution of org and tech-based on customer and business value. (ℹī¸ This is a public workshop, however I can also offer this workshop internally to interested companies.)
  • ⭐ī¸Products Page - in this page you can find all the workshops and sessions I am offering. You can find different offerings to help software tech-enabled organizations increase their "effectiveness" and achieve sustainable fast flow of change. For that, I continuously develop different offerings - which can be combined into bespoke consulting engagements.
