Decision-Making for Modern Architects: Cutting Through Complexity
Architects are often expected to make big decisions—fast, confidently, and in the face of ambiguity. But what separates confident decision-makers from those stuck in analysis paralysis? It’s not more frameworks—it’s mindset, facilitation, and clarity.
In this interactive online session, we explore the people side of architectural decision-making. Forget the technical deep-dives—this is about real-world moves that help you navigate complexity, build trust, and make the right call when it counts.
Join FromHereOn team - Peter Stokoe, Jean-Michel Charette, and Jerome Thevenon - as they each unpack a specific aspect of architectural decision-making, sharing three practical techniques you can use immediately:
- Investment Planning – How to make organisation give up on their pet projects and unrealistic expectations
- Option Shaping – Design options that get the agreement on first go and are not turned around after 30min
- Innovation-Enabled Architecture – How to shift from gatekeeper to enabler with the right mindset and guardrails
Expect sharp stories, fresh angles, and visuals that bring it all to life.
