Decision Rights for Technology — Who Decides What in a Modern Enterprise
Decision Rights for Technology — Who Decides What in a Modern Enterprise

Why most enterprises confuse escalation ladders with decision rights — and how Technology Decision Domain Architecture maps exactly who decides what, at which altitude, before the conflict arrives.

Executive Summary Who this is for: Enterprise Architects, CTOs, CIOs, Architecture Leads, Engineering Directors Problem it solves: Technology decisions stall, duplicate, or...

Data and AI
Intermediate4-6 hoursData readiness assessment + governance framework + pipeline blueprint

The data foundations that make AI work. Data quality, governance, architecture, pipelines, and the GenAI shift from training to retrieval. Most AI failures are data failures — learn the patterns and prevent them.

...problem AI exposes Data quality — the six dimensions Data governance — who owns and protects it Data architecture for AI Feature engineering Data pipelines Data for Generative AI — what's different Common...

Run Event Storming Twice. The First Maps the System. The Second Exposes Governance.

Why the second run of an Event Storming workshop — the one most teams never attempt — is the fastest way to surface governance gaps that architecture diagrams will never show.

Executive Summary Who this is for: Enterprise Architects, Solution Architects, Architecture Leads, Domain-Driven Design practitioners Problem it solves: Governance gaps — missing owners,...

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.

...system that looks like your organisation. That's not a metaphor — it's a law. If you want a different architecture, you need a different team structure first. That one idea changes everything. It turns delivery...

Nobody Uses ADRs as an Agentic Decision Log. They Should.

Why Architectural Decision Records are the only structure most organizations already have that can govern AI agent accountability — and how to extend them into an Agentic Decision Log before the EU AI Act deadline.

Application, Integration, API, Interface, Data & Process Design
Intermediate to Advanced (SA, EA)6-8 hoursIntegration design playbook + API design standards + data movement pattern guide

How the components of a solution are structured internally, how they communicate with each other, and how they connect to the data and processes they depend on.

...consistency Interfaces are what people and systems actually see and use. A system with great internal architecture but poor interfaces fails in practice. Interface design covers two domains: User interfaces...
