Common Architecture Patterns
Intermediate (SA, EA)5-7 hoursPattern selection guide + pattern comparison matrix + anti-pattern catalogue

Proven, reusable solutions to recurring structural problems — each with known trade-offs that make it suited to some contexts and unsuitable for others.

...to maintain. Learning curve — the pattern is less intuitive than layered for junior developers. Over-engineering risk — for simple CRUD, hexagonal adds complexity without benefit. Hexagonal architecture...

Roadmaps & Transformation Sequencing
Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA, TS)5-7 hoursRoadmap template + transition state design guide + sequencing logic + dependency overlay

How to build multi-year transformation roadmaps that sequence architectural change realistically — accounting for dependencies, capacity, risk, and the fact that the organisation must continue operating while it transforms.

...order. Five principles drive defensible sequencing: Dependencies first — what must exist before what. Platform before services. Foundations before features — shared capabilities before specific capabilities....

Technology Strategy & Architecture Strategy
Advanced (EA, TS)5-6 hoursTechnology strategy vs architecture strategy distinction map + strategy brief template

How to distinguish technology strategy from architecture strategy, connect both to business strategy, and define a coherent direction for the organisation's technology investments.

...strategy. They have architecture diagrams but not architecture strategy. They invest in cloud, AI, and platforms because everyone else is — not because a deliberate analysis connected those investments to...

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.

...Reusable structural templates for common problems Teams facing common problems — "build an integration platform," "set up a cloud landing zone," "design a data platform" — shouldn't start from scratch every...

Team Topologies & Organisational Design Workshop
CTO, VP Engineering, Engineering Directors, Principal EngineersTeam topology map, interaction model, platform team charter, cognitive load assessment

Your architecture isn't just a technical choice. It's a consequence of how your teams are structured. Fix the structure, and the architecture follows.

...problems have solutions. Keep it in mind. Purpose The goal of this workshop is concrete: redesign how your engineering organisation is structured so that team boundaries accelerate delivery instead of creating...
