You did the analysis. You mapped the enterprise, you found what needed to change, and the design was sound. Then the steering committee deferred it. The programme picked the parts it liked. Someone in a room you were not in decided something else. Six months later the thing that shipped bears your diagram's name and none of its intent.
This is not a design problem. It is an adoption problem, and it has patterns.
In this session, Bard and Helgi walk through the Enterprise Design Patterns that govern how architecture work actually gets taken up: how trust is built before the design exists, how you find the people whose support decides the outcome, and how you hand your intent over to others without it dissolving.
Live only: bring a design of yours that got watered down. We diagnose two of them live and name the patterns that were missing.
I am a practitioner, coach and writer with a deep compassion for the human condition and a burning desire to help people live better lives, do better work and create a more sustainable and socially connected society in the process. I have a uniquely pragmatic approach to these challenges. I break complex concepts down into simple, compelling and powerful stories, frameworks and models. My keynotes and workshops give people practical tools and ways to take control of their own development. And my very personal style, sprinkled with humour, anecdotes and pearls of wisdom, engage and motivate audiences to see beyond the obvious and the limited, into a future in which anything is possible. Throughout 35+ years of working with organisations all over the planet I have helped individuals and organisations with maturing their awareness and mastery of their individual and collective emotional abilities; creating more inspiring and sustainable approaches to leadership and team development; and taking responsibility for the future evolution of their organisational cultures. I have authored and co-authored books on Machine Translation, Personal Development and Enterprise Design.
