Do you recognize this? You build technically sound solutions, but:

● Business and IT speak different languages about strategy
● Vendor relationships become more complex than planned
● Technical roadmaps clash with organizational reality
● You’re reacting more than directing

On Wednesday June 25th from 18:00-19:30 hrs, Patrick Hoverstadt shares his insights. He saw how technically strong strategies bogged down with organizational dynamics. His conclusion? Look at organizations the way you look at systems: understand interrelationships and patterns.

My personal recommendation: Patrick combines sharp intellect with british humor, the depth of scientist with the breadth of a practitioner, and the accepting fatalism of an optimist ploughing on.

In this webinar, Patrick discusses:

● How organizations influence each other – and why your IT strategy often goes in a different direction than planned
● Vendor lock-in as a strategic pattern: when it works for you, when against you
● First Mover or Fast Follower? Understanding timing in technology adoption
● Navigate between collaboration and competition (with other departments, vendors, partners)
● Recognizing which forces drive your strategic direction – and how to leverage them

With real-world examples such as:
● Platform owners changing the rules of the game
● IT departments evolving from cost center to strategic partner
● Technical choices that unintentionally create strategic dependencies
● When following “best practice” is just not smart

For whom: IT architects, digital leaders and tech professionals who are curious about the intersection of technology, people and organization.

When: Wednesday, June 25th from 18:00-19:30 hrs

Speaker: Patrick Hoverstadt – systems thinker, consultant and author of “Patterns of Strategy” (2017) and “The Fractal Organization” (2008)
