Serverless Kafka on AWS as Part of a Cloud-native Data Lake ArchitectureKai Wähner
AWS Data Lake / Lake House + Confluent Cloud for Serverless Apache Kafka. Learn about use cases, architectures, and features.
Data must be continuously collected, processed, and reactively used in applications across the entire enterprise - some in real time, some in batch mode. In other words: As an enterprise becomes increasingly software-defined, it needs a data platform designed primarily for "data in motion" rather than "data at rest."
Apache Kafka is now mainstream when it comes to data in motion! The Kafka API has become the de facto standard for event-driven architectures and event streaming. Unfortunately, the cost of running it yourself is very often too expensive when you add factors like scaling, administration, support, security, creating connectors...and everything else that goes with it. Resources in enterprises are scarce: this applies to both the best team members and the budget.
The cloud - as we all know - offers the perfect solution to such challenges.
Most likely, fully-managed cloud services such as AWS S3, DynamoDB or Redshift are already in use. Now it is time to implement "fully-managed" for Kafka as well - with Confluent Cloud on AWS.
Building a central integration layer that doesn't care where or how much data is coming from.
Implementing scalable data stream processing to gain real-time insights
Leveraging fully managed connectors (like S3, Redshift, Kinesis, MongoDB Atlas & more) to quickly access data

Responsible Product Management, Shaping a Better Future with Alexander Steinhart
How can we effectively address sustainability, climate change and social justice? 🌍✊
The world is changing. Extreme inequality exists in society, we face environmental challenges, while technology becomes more pervasive and influential in our daily lives. Technology can address our problems, but it can also create and exacerbate them.
Businesses increasingly need to be able to justify their choices, actions, and inactions regarding social value, avoid unintended and adversarial consequences, meet ESG reporting standards, and keep customer trust. 40% of the global population are “Aspirationals” valuing both quality and design and environmental and social impact. This way, ethical topics are not relevant for risk management and compliance only but move to value generation. The just published ‘State of Responsible Technology’ by MIT Technology Review Insights found that 73% of senior executives and directors surveyed either strongly or somewhat agree that responsible technology considerations will eventually be as important as financial considerations in technology decision-making.
In this talk, you — as leaders and innovators — will learn about Responsible product management, how we can update our practices, see examples and learn from our engagements.
Alexander Steinhart is a psychologist and technologist, product expert at the international IT consultancy firm Thoughtworks, and editor of the “Responsible Tech Playbook“. His pioneering work on humane tech was taken over by Google and Apple, highlighted by TIME, commented on by DIE ZEIT, and exhibited in the Futurium.

Building Adaptive Systems with Wardley Mapping, Domain-Driven Design, and Tea...Susanne Kaiser
In a world of rapid changes and increasing uncertainties, organizations have to continuously adapt and evolve to remain competitive and excel in the market.
In such a dynamic business landscape organizations need to design for adaptability. Designing for adaptability requires understanding the landscape organizations are operating in, identifying patterns of change, applying principles for organizational fitness, and making mindful strategic decisions to adapt to change.
Organizations need to aim for building systems and team organizations aligned to the business needs and business strategy and evolving them for adaptability to new changes and unknown environments.
This talk brings different perspectives and techniques together from business strategy (Wardley Mapping), software architecture and design (Domain-Driven Design), and team organization (Team Topologies) as a powerful toolset to design, build and evolve adaptive systems and team structures for a fast flow of change.
We present an economic framework to understand and manage platform growth. This builds from a model of network complements and two sided markets. The intuitions help set prices, openness, and features to absorb into the platform. The intuitions also help shape the transition from a traditional business model to a platform strategy.
Presented at the IBM executive education summit July 27, 2011.
An Introduction into the design of business using business architectureCraig Martin
Business Architecture is gaining interest from many non-traditional architecture stakeholders across the enterprise however most remain unclear of its scope and application. This webinar was presented through the Open Group as lead up to the London 2013 Conference on business transformation. It provides an overview of the language, methods and techniques of developing a business architecture and assist architects to demonstrate its relevance to business leaders. It also provides an insight into the method and techniques taught in the "Discovering Business Architecture" course run by Enterprise Architects.

Designing a Serverless Application with Domain Driven Design Susanne Kaiser
With Serverless/FaaS the unit of work is a fine-grained, ephemeral function triggered by a variety of events. How can we design a system composed of countless functions without loosing sight of each function's purpose or without accidentally introducing a big ball of mud due to highly coupled functions. One approach could be by introducing Domain Driven Design (DDD). DDD is a methodology to capture a business domain as closely as possible into software coming with strategic and tactical design patterns. DDD helps to decompose a system into modular components (Bounded Contexts) and mapping the integration patterns between them (Context Mapping).
In this talk, I am going to highlight how Domain Driven Design and Serverless/FaaS can go together by splitting a system into Bounded Contexts and how these Bounded Contexts can be implemented by using Serverless technologies.
Value analysis with Value Stream and Capability modelingCOMPETENSIS
The new Archimate 3.1 has improved the strategy layer with major modeling objects related to value analysis: value stream and capability.
These objects are linked and answer major questions :
- [VALUE STREAM] What value do we deliver to customers ? What value do we want to deliver to customers ? This is the enterprise business model.
- [CAPABILITY] What operational model do we need to deliver value ? The capability model describes the operational model required to deliver value to customers.
You cannot succeed to transform a business model, enterprise activities without considering Value Stream & Capability analysis. Technology considerations are necessary but not sufficient.
Feel free to contact if you wish to get more support with your transformation projet.
How to Use Your Product Roadmap as a Communication ToolJanna Bastow
Find out how making this one small change at your company can completely shift the way you communicate with your customers for the better.
In this webinar, ProdPad co-founder Janna Bastow will talk about how companies have successfully gone public with their product roadmaps - and share exactly what steps you’ll need to take to launch yours.
You’ll see two dramatic changes when you open the door to your product roadmap to your customers:
- Your customers will know your product vision and your priorities as a company
- Your support team will be able to confidently take customer feedback and answer questions about feature requests.
Even among companies that claim to be committed to transparency, product roadmaps have generally been shrouded in secrecy - the result of a fear of backing out on commitments or missing release dates.
The reality is that companies that share their roadmaps are able to set practical expectations with their customers, communicate priorities and the future of their products clearly and retain their strongest customers.
Bringing Architecture Thinking to the People - An introduction into the PEOPL...Craig Martin
The successful implementation of an architecture plan or blueprint is often challenged not in the efficacy of the design elements of the architecture, but in its implementation by people in business operations. Transformation programs will often struggle as a consequence of the failure to consider the issues impacting and the role of people in supporting the target operating state of the architecture once implemented, it is therefore imperative that when architects innovate, model and design to solve business problems, that they equally consider the people dimension. Capability based planning is incomplete unless we address the optimum mix of people, process and tools to drive out the target outcome of that capability. This presentation will look at a case study from within the Australian market in which Business Capability Based Planning was applied to assess people capabilities and organisation preparedness to support a target business model. It will also discuss some of the more effective people levers that can be applied to deliver more impactful and long lasting architectural change.
Implementing the Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) promotes a seamless transition to the cloud for any organization. Cloud adoption includes communicating a new strategic direction, involving stakeholders from across the organization, identifying skill gaps, identifying key team members, and establishing a realistic roadmap. JHC Technology will present how organizations can manage, evaluate, automate, and continuously spur cloud adoption through repeatability, allowing the organization to deploy innovation today and be ready for whatever comes tomorrow. As part of this discussion we will assess the key challenges in transitioning your team to the cloud and the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework which can be used to mitigate these challenges.
Product Roadmaps - Tips on how to create and manage roadmapsMarc Abraham

12 Global Business Model (GBM) Topics: Simply Organize and Present Ideas for ...Rod King, Ph.D.
"NO ENTREPRENEUR LEFT BEHIND (NELB)"
How often do you have people coming up to you and saying, "I have this great business idea, what do you think of it?" Next time, someone presents this question to you, just ask him or her to SCOPE the idea using the 12 Global Business Model (GBM) Topics. Please note that SCOPE is an acronym:
S: Share
C: Capture
O: Organize
P: Present or Pitch
E: Evaluate
By having a person SCOPE a project or business idea, both parties could save tremendous amount of time, money, and other resources especially in today's environment which is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous.
Are you ready to SCOPE that great project or business idea which keeps you awake at night?

How do you know you are ready to start iterating? In some cases, very little is needed before the first iteration. In other cases, rushing to iterate (because you were told to) can lead to weeks of time wasted overly focused on delivering a poorly understood product.
This tutorial provides concrete tools for discovering your product context and assessing whether you are ready to start building and / or iterating. Participants will learn tools for defining how much process you need and tools for truly understanding what you are building and why, as well as who will use it, why they will (or will not) use it and why.
Considerations For an API Strategy - Ronnie MItra API Architect Layer 7 Londo...CA API Management
API Management is becoming increasingly important as more and more organisations need to expose their data and application functionality to internal and external developers. Exposing APIs empowers these organisations to engage customers in innovative new ways, create new revenue opportunities and transform their businesses into platforms. But how do you ensure your APIs are exposed securely? How do you create, maintain and update different versions of your APIs? How do you throttle usage, meter requests and monitor API health?

Wrap-Up
Simon Wardley gifted his research & ideas to the world over a decade ago, and he wants society to benefit from them for decades to come.
Let's start a Wardley Mapping Foundation to help him carry the load!
Delivered at Map Camp Use-Case Edition, Nov 2021.
When it comes to showing people how we're organised, we're addicted to the org chart. But they're not actually that good at describing how a company works, beyond who the highest-paid people are. In fact, they tend to create a lot of dysfunction.
There's a better way to organise, and maps are the key.
First delivered as a guest speaker at Mark Esposito's System & Complexity Thinking course at Hult University, June 2021.
This talk is aimed at people learning about complex systems with a background in organisational design & management. It looks at the difference between Computational Complexity and Applied Social Complexity, touches on the limits of Computation, Business Processes, & Systems Thinking, and introduces two frameworks that can be used to help organisations understand their current context and navigate more effectively.
Most content in the notes.
A whirlwind tour of Glasswall Solution’s use of Wardley Maps and experiments with a Service-based operating model. Delivered at Open Security Summit Dec 7th, 2020 as context for a panel discussion, which you can watch here:

What do Wardley Maps mean to me? (Map Camp 2020)Steve Purkis
At Map Camp 2020, I was asked to do a short talk on "What Wardley Maps mean to me?", as part of a trio with Sue Borchardt and Kaimar Karu. I'll dig up links to their talks (and Sue's fantastic drawings!) once published.
Here, I touch on how I got started with Wardley Maps in the early days, and what I've been doing with them recently, including:
* Covid as a forcing function
* The impact of Inertia / Apex Predator complacency
* How Glasswall OpenSource is using Wardley Maps
* Cell-based organisational structures with OSOM
* How we're helping Simon's ongoing research on Doctrine
* GCATI's effort to introduce Mapping Standards
* Some links between Cynefin & Wardley Maps
Oh, and I've snuck into the Appendix something on Mapping the UN's Sustainability Development Goals.
Enjoy! :-)
COVID-19 - Systems & Complexity Thinking in ActionSteve Purkis
First delivered at Mark Esposito's Systems Thinking course at Harvard, April 2020.
This talk examines various responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, focusing on economic & social impacts (less on the medical side), with the goal of introducing complexity thinking to organisational strategy.
It introduces complexity thinking using Dave Snowden’s Cynefin framework and demonstrates how system loops evolve in the complex domain as a result of safe-to-fail probes. It introduces Simon Wardley’s value chain mapping technique, and shows how organisations can use it to scan for exaptive opportunities as they are making sense of the chaos. Finishes with a still-evolving early view of the macro/mega response of governments, the looming threat of climate change, and the importance of metrics & diversity in system evolution.
How will our economic & social system evolve?
Predicting & Influencing with Kanban MetricsSteve Purkis
Your project’s going off the rails! You’re not sure if you’ll be able to deliver everything the client wants in the time they can afford. Your team is great, but you still can't help the feeling you could be performing better…What do you do?
Don’t wait for it to go wrong to introduce metrics!
In this session, Steve Purkis and Adam Scott will explore some of the Lean Kanban metrics they've used with clients over the past few years. They'll look at how the metrics evolved over time, what worked and what didn't, and show how the metrics were used to predict and influence delivery. This practical talk is based on a wide range of scenarios from real-world experiences and is aimed at both delivery teams and stakeholders looking for ideas on how to encourage the right behaviours to get the best for their organisations.
First presented at P3X in London, Nov 2018.
Map Your Values: Connect & CollaborateSteve Purkis
Why do you get out of bed every day? Why do you go to work? When it comes down to it, what’s really important to you?
Understanding what makes you tick can have a transformative impact on your life, improving your sense of agency and leading a more fulfilling life. Understanding what makes those around you tick can have a transformative impact on your relationships, enabling you to communicate and collaborate more effectively.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to map your values and practice communicating them effectively to each other. You’ll examine what happens when your values are compromised, prioritise them, and compare them to your organisation’s values. Finally, you’ll consider how you can increase the chances of fulfilling your values.
Participants may want to bring their notebooks, and something to take pictures with.
An overview of Joshua Kerievsky’s "Modern Agile", used to generate some interesting discussion at Agile Ottawa in Feb 2016.
Based on Joshua's work:
* blog: https://www.industriallogic.com/blog/modern-agile/
* webcast: http://leankit.com/blog/2015/12/modern-agile/

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

12. The Problem?
Business Strategy suffers from:
● Lack of a Common Language
● Lack of Situational Awareness
● Copy-cat approaches
● Over-reliance on storytelling
In high situational awareness environments:
1. Navigation tends to be visual
2. Learning occurs from context-specific actions
3. Strategy is based on position, movement &
capability

36. Evolution
In any industrial setting:
1. Novel & new things constantly appear
2. Useful things get copied & gain traction
3. They improve & spread until they become common
This happens as a result of competition around supply & demand.

Screw threads can be traced
back to the time of Plato, 400 BC.
They were custom made by hand
from wood by craftsmen. One of
the first applications was a food
press (olive oil, grape juice)
to get a better feel for these four stages

49. The Strategy Cycle
Strategy is non-linear & iterative.
Understanding context is the key.
Acting is essential to Learning.
51. The Two Whys
1. Purpose.
As CEO of Fotango, Simon found that
he was jumping straight from defining
Purpose into deciding a strategy &
acting.
After a lot of self reflection, he
realised he was missing a huge
part of strategic thinking
why of
purpose
52. why of
purpose
why of
movement
2. Movement
He likened this to a game of chess, where
the situation you’re in defines your why of
movement. To do well, situational
awareness is key, hence maps.
The Two Whys
55. A description of your environment.

● Your users and their needs
● Your capabilities
● Suppliers capabilities

● Landscape features & obstacles
● Troop positions
