Organisations are composed of interacting social and technical subsystems that cannot be treated separately. To adapt to constantly changing circumstances - a challenge amplified in AI-accelerated times - these subsystems need to be aligned and treated as an interactive socio-technical system.


This is where Architecture for Flow comes in: a holistic toolset for designing, building, and evolving adaptive, socio-technical systems optimised for a fast, sustainable flow of value and constant feedback. Learn how to bridge business strategy, software design and architecture, and team organisation by combining Wardley Mapping, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and Team Topologies.


Key takeaways from this talk include:


  • Understanding why AI-accelerated development amplifies existing architectural and organisational frictions - and why fixing foundations matters more than adopting AI faster

  • Anticipating change and identifying areas where to invest, what to outsource or evolve to gain competitive advantage by combining Wardley Mapping and DDD

  • Identifying blockers to flow from an architecture, team ownership, and team dependencies perspective

  • Unlocking blockers to flow by applying patterns and practices from DDD, Wardley Mapping, Team Topologies

  • How Architecture for Flow provides essential guardrails for safe AI adoption - not new because of AI, but now essential for AI
