Domain-Driven Design Europe 2023 http://dddeurope.com - https://twitter.com/ddd_eu - https://newsletter.dddeurope.com/ https://linkedin.com/company/domain-driven-design-europe Organised by Aardling (https://aardling.eu/) In this talk, I will share my observations through the systems thinking lens, of what happened in a large change initiative in a big bank, where DDD played a central role. You will hear examples of sociotechnical systems dynamics and episodes about shifting dominance of competing feedback loops. You will be invited to partake in a postmortem forensic of what could have happened, what unfortunately didn’t happen, and the many what-if’s of alternate realities, or pasts. For people new to systems thinking, a positive side benefit can be a sneak peak into systems modelling building blocks and systems archetypes. Xin is a sociotechnical architect, DDD evangelist and independent consultant. She believes that a product, domain and team-oriented architecture is the super glue to bind multiple agile teams navigating toward a common horizon. She’s spearheaded large-scale change initiatives in boundary-spanning architect roles, weaving together strategy, products, teams, systems, domains into coherent models to guide progress and reduce stress. She architects collective experiences in scale-ups and enterprises to unravel complexity and discover leverage points. In sociotechnical environments where a team’s cognitive capacity is under constant stress, she practices domain-driven design and facilitates collaborative modelling to help teams and organisations make sense, make decisions and make intuitive business software.
