2 Days: The Architect Elevator: Visiting the Upper Floors

IT architecture isn’t done when the software is well designed and all operational requirements are considered. Unless it’s aligned with the business strategy and appreciated by senior executives, the greatest piece of software won't have much impact.

However, executives in the “upper floors” speak a different language and make decisions within a broader context. The worst thing technical folks can do is “simplify” their message, which leaves decision makers unsure of what they are really deciding. When they ask seemingly simple questions, they get long answers full of technical jargon.

This highly interactive workshop upgrades IT architects and senior developers to play a more impactful role across all levels of their organization. By tackling complexity, more effectively communicating with senior management, and influencing the organization's ways of working, they forge a crucial connection between the IT engine room and the organization’s leadership.
