This free 146 page ebook (the foundation ideas that form the underlay to my systems design and architecture workshop), builds up the case for system design as something co-created and highly collaborative. And encourages an integrative “and” answer to “do we need architects?” (and product designers and engineering managers, ..). Where what is integrated is both: everyone plays a role and can lead, and the system design has sustained+sustaining organizational commitment.
