As the digital economy changes the rules of the game for enterprises, the role of software and IT architects is also transforming. Rather than focus on technical decisions alone, architects and senior technologists need to combine organizational and technical knowledge to effect change in their company’s structure and processes. To accomplish that, they need to connect the IT engine room to the penthouse, where the business strategy is defined. In this guide, author Gregor Hohpe shares real-world advice and hard-learned lessons from actual IT transformations. His anecdotes help architects, senior developers, and other IT professionals prepare for a more complex but rewarding role in the enterprise. This book is ideal for: Software architects and senior developers looking to shape the company’s technology direction or assist in an organizational transformation Enterprise architects and senior technologists searching for practical advice on how to navigate technical and organizational topics CTOs and senior technical architects who are devising an IT strategy that impacts the way the organization works IT managers who want to learn what’s worked and what hasn’t in large-scale transformation Review: Excellent read - Combines tech and non tech, helps you understand how to connect the penthouse and the engine room.

Very good read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Practical *by D***. on 16 June 2024* Very Practical book and definitely helpful in understanding the dynamics of a corporate culture from an architect's perspective ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very thoughtful reflections on transformation *by J***H on 28 August 2022* This is a very thoughtful and enjoyable book. I read it like a devotional, one chapter per day. The chapters and very short and standalone, a bit like informal essays or well-crafted blog posts. Many have important insights that are worth letting sink in, at least for consideration if not for incorporation. The insights aren't provocative but often non-trivial and clearly won by hard experience. Gregor has a background that is hard to match: author of the most influential book ever on async messaging patterns, Director at Google, advisor to enterprises and is now with AWS. He has "big tech" experience but also understands that the challenges both technical and cultural at traditional enterprises are quite complex -- and he advocates for patterns that can help you to take them on. I like the fact that he calls out patterns from big tech companies that can be applied at enterprises but cautions against air-lifting them all unless you have the same context. One of my favorite essays was the one on Starbucks and two-phase commits. Simple but brilliant. Great book.
