I look forward to returning to Berlin and the wonderful #kanDDDinsky conference this week. It is one of my definitive highlights of the year, and I am really happy to be able to speak there again. This time, I will challenge the approach many companies have to what they regard as self-organisation, like when attempting an agile transformation, like rolling out Team Topologies or similar attempts at "empowerment."

Decades of research in the social sciences have clearly shown how this ought to be done. Unfortunately, most in the IT industry seem to be ignorant of this. Hope to change that. It is surprisingly easy, but it will require systemic changes in thinking. 😊

Excited to be speaking at KanDDDinsky Berlin again this year! 🎉
My talk is brand new: instead of the fundamentals, I’ll explore the “symptoms” of EDA efforts - what goes well, and what doesn’t. Patterns, lessons, and maybe a few true stories 😉.

The line-up is amazing, and I’m humbled to be part of it. Hope to see you there!

Third time’s a charm, right? I’ve had the honour of contributing to KanDDDinsky twice, and I’m excited to return this year!

Join me in Berlin, 22–24 October, to talk about patterns and antipatterns in Event-Driven Architecture.

This week saw #Kandddinsky 2024 land in Berlin, and the diversity of topics truly inspired me!

From #sociotechnical to #CQRS, and everything #events to #typography, there was technical, social, and philosophical content on offer. To round this off an open space day (unconference) brought out the grass-roots atmosphere and meant that the community were pushing the state of the art in terms of #software design...
