The Architect Elevator: Connecting IT and Boardroom

by Gregor Hohpe

Today’s successful systems architects forge a connection between an organization’s strategy, its technology choices, and its operational capabilities. Building executive awareness and securing buy-in requires you to communicate technical decisions and trade-offs clearly without confusing or lecturing your audience. This session prepares architects to “ride the elevator” between the IT engine room, where software is built, and the boardroom, where executive decisions are made.
