I’ve spent most of my career studying how organizations improve their software and trying to share it with others. Nowadays, I also try to hustle up interest in Pivotal, of course.

Here’s what I’ve found so far, in different forms:

• Monolithic Transformation (O’Reilly) collects together the stories and successful tactics large organizations are using to get better at software.
• A presentation – putting everything into one talk is impossible, but I speak on this topic frequently anyhow. There’s several versions, by length:
  • 30 minutes – very brief, and the most Pivotal-pitching: recording and slides.
  • ~50 minutes – the tak length most people can tolerate: recording and slides.
  • 90 minutes – the lecture/workshop version: recording and slides.
• Rethinking Enterprise Architecture – the role of enterprise architects is ill-defined in all of this, but vital for success. Here’s my rough notes on the part EAs play and how they need to change: recording and slides.
• What even is “culture”? – a large part of transformation is changing your culture, we’re told. What exactly is that and, more importantly, what are some tactics for doing it? Recording and slides.
