Transforming organisations with Drupal
Over the coming decade successful organisations will establish an essentially symbiotic relationship with the software platforms they depend on. In creating tools to support their business, they will change their business, which will require new tools. Our job goes beyond building software, we now have to help organisations change so that they can use the tools we give them.
Change your clients
The fourth industrial revolution requires organisations to understand and welcome change - at all levels. This talk will cover some of the theory and practice of building long lasting platforms that can support an organisation, and tools and methodologies we can teach our clients so that they can adapt.
- Organisational digital governance
- Delegated decision making processes
- Productisation and modularisation
- Project lifespans
- Developing and maintaining roadmaps
- Rule based design
- Specification by example and living documentation
By it's very nature the topic requires a combination of business and technical understanding and will be relevant to a broad but tech-savvy audience from development shops, agencies or internal dev-teams. Covering digital strategy, governance, product management and Drupal development process the talk will provide key insights and practical steps required to effectively use Drupal as a platform for digital transformation.
