Platform Thinking
Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA, TS)5-6 hoursPlatform strategy canvas + internal platform design guide + shared capability register

How to shift from building one-off solutions to building reusable internal platforms — shared foundations that allow teams to deliver independently without solving the same problems repeatedly.

...scale, every team rebuilding the same foundation — CI/CD, observability, deployment, authentication, data access — becomes wasteful. But centralising everything creates a bottleneck. Platform thinking is...

Future of AI
Intermediate to Senior Leaders3-4 hoursAI horizon scan + strategic implications analysis + preparation roadmap

What's coming in AI — multimodal models, on-device AI, open-source momentum, protocols, regulation, and the shift to AI-native organisations. See around the corner without falling for hype.

...Multimodal AI expands what agents can do — agents can now see and hear, not just read. It creates new data challenges — images and audio need different pipelines than text. And it expands use cases dramatically:...

Standards & Reference Architectures
Intermediate (SA, EA)4-5 hoursReference architecture library starter + standards register + architecture principles catalogue

How to create, govern, and operationalise architecture standards and reference architectures — the agreed patterns and structures that create consistency, reduce duplication, and accelerate delivery at scale.

...re-solving solved problems. What standards are: Pre-decided choices — "We use PostgreSQL for relational data" so teams don't re-debate the database every project. Guardrails — "All APIs must be versioned"...

Current State & Target State Architecture
All levels — SA, EA, TS4-5 hoursAs-is / to-be architecture canvas + transition state design + maturity scale + AI readiness assessment

How to document what exists today, define what must exist tomorrow, and design the transition states that get you there — the discipline of architecture that connects present reality to future goals.

...documented, teams design solutions that ignore existing constraints — integration debt, legacy dependencies, data quality issues, regulatory requirements, and organisational capacity. The result is a target state...
