Domain-Driven Design & Strategic Design Workshop

Enterprise & Solution Architects, Principal Engineers, Tech LeadsDomain map, bounded context canvas, ubiquitous language glossary, context map

Stop designing systems around databases and frameworks. Start designing around your business domains — and watch your architecture conversations change overnight.

...ownership, autonomy, and business intent. Keep it in mind. Purpose The goal of this workshop is concrete: redesign how your teams think about system boundaries — by drawing them around business domains, not technical...

Solution Decomposition

Intermediate (SA, EA)4-6 hoursDecomposition canvas + domain/service/component hierarchy guide

How to break large, complex systems into smaller, independently manageable parts — so different teams can build, own, and change them without stepping on each other.

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, conflicting authorities,...

Operating Model Choices

Advanced (EA, TS)5-6 hoursOperating model design canvas + team topology guide + Conway's Law application worksheet + Communication Structure Heatmap

How the structure of technology teams shapes the structure of the systems they build — covering Conway's Law, centralised vs federated models, platform teams, product operating models, team topologies, and designing the organisation that produces the architecture you want.

...systems you build will mirror the communication structure of the teams that build them — whether you design it that way or not. This is Conway's Law, and it's not a suggestion. It's a description of reality....

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.

...target is where transformation planning lives. None of these are optional. Skip current state and you design in a vacuum. Skip target state and you drift without direction. Skip transition states and you...

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.

...anti-pattern identification — find the structural mistakes in your system, pattern combination exercise — design a real architecture using multiple patterns, and evolution planning — how to move from your current...

Architecture in the Age of AI: What Can Be Automated — and What Cannot

A governance-driven perspective explaining why software architecture cannot be automated because decision accountability and consequence ownership cannot be delegated to AI.
