Practise the moments that break a design session

You will not sit and listen to theory. Every workshop puts you in the room, facilitating, getting it wrong, getting feedback, and going again. Facilitation is a skill, and skills are not acquired from slides. All formats run online or in person, in-house or open enrolment.

5 workshops, run by the authors of the book:Evelyn van Kelle, Kenny Baas-Schwegler, Gien Verschatse.

2-day

  • Collaborative Software Design: How to facilitate domain modelling decisions

    Next: 28 Jan 2027

    Your domain expert stayed quiet the entire session. So did the engineers who actually knew the codebase. A decision was made, maybe yours. Everyone nodded. You took the silence as agreement. Weeks later, it quietly falls apart.

  • Systems Design with Strategic Domain-Driven Design and Team Topologies

    Are software teams constantly hitting roadblocks, architecture decisions creating bottlenecks, or team structures failing to align with the software products they're building?

  • Technical Leadership for Architectural Decision Making

    As a Tech Lead, are you finding it challenging to get your entire software team aligned on crucial architectural decisions? Does the team often fall into endless discussions when opinions differ? Do people make assumptions that are proven wrong when implementing? Do you have trouble getting everyone on board with the design?

  • Navigating Conflicts in Software Architecture Decision Making: A Collaborative and Democratic Approach

    Are you struggling with complex architectural decisions in software design? Ever faced a standstill due to differing opinions on architecture choices? Want to make decisions that everyone on the team can support and that align with both the technical and human needs of your projects? Join us in this 1-day expert deep dive workshop where you will learn to navigate conflicts in software architectural decision making.

  • Navigating Power Dynamics in Software Decision-Making

    Are your collaborative modeling sessions often dominated by a few voices? Do you notice that some individuals are consistently believed more than others, or that decisions face unspoken resistance later on? This 3-hour online class dives into the heart of these group interactions by exploring power dynamics, including the powerful, and often unconscious, influence of ranking.

Or have us facilitate the session ourselves

A workshop teaches your own people to hold the room. If what you need is somebody to hold it for you, for a particular decision with a particular group, that is consulting. Same material, other side.
