What we’re about
Thoughtworks is a global technology consultancy that integrates strategy, design and software engineering - and a community of passionate, purpose-led individuals. We have one mission: We think disruptively to deliver technology to address our clients' toughest challenges, all while seeking to revolutionize the IT industry and create positive social change.
We are intentional about making technology a better place for all. Thoughtworkers are encouraged to stand up, speak up, and advocate for who and what they believe in. We host events and talks tackling intersectionality, discrimination and bias in tech because we believe conversations create understanding and diversity in organizations and thinking.
Here you are free to learn and to share on any platform. Free to feel safe in your own skin. Free to follow your latest curiosity to an unknown place. Free to challenge ideas, assumptions, and solutions - no matter who they belong to (respectfully). Free to experiment and recommend the right tech without bias. Free to change career paths. Free to make technology a better place for all.
We like to share our knowledge and would like to invite you to become part of this meetup group to stay up to date with our latest events - you don't have to be a Thoughtworker to join this community :)
Our venue in Berlin is a barrier free non-smoking area. The toilets are wheelchair accessible.

Wir wollen die Technologiebranche zu einem besseren Ort für alle machen. Wir ermutigen ThoughtworkerInnen, aufzustehen, sich frei zu äußern und dafür einzutreten, an wen und an was sie glauben. Wir veranstalten Events und Vorträge zu Themen wie z.B. Diskriminierung oder Vorurteile in der Technologiebranche, weil wir glauben, dass Konversation Verständnis und Vielfalt schafft.
Als ThoughtworkerIn hast du die Freiheit, auf allen möglichen Wegen und Plattformen zu lernen und das Gelernte mit anderen zu teilen. Du bist frei, du selbst zu sein. Frei, den Themen, die dich begeistern, zu folgen und unbekannte Bereiche oder Tech Stacks zu erkunden. Frei, Ideen, Annahmen und Lösungen in Frage zu stellen – egal zu wem sie gehören. Frei, zu experimentieren. Frei, deinen Weg zu ändern. Frei, die Welt durch Technologie zu einem besseren Ort zu machen.
Wir konzentrieren uns auf die Weiterentwicklung der ganzen Software-Branche. Und wir finden, Wissen sollte man teilen.

This event is a collaboration with our friends from Domain Driven Design Berlin, check out their Meetup page here and sign up there!
-----Do you find yourself navigating complex situations where clear solutions are elusive?
Join us for an engaging and insightful workshop on Estuarine Mapping, a cutting-edge approach to understanding and navigating complex contexts, that draws upon concepts and frameworks developed by Dave Snowden and The Cynefin Company (https://cynefin.io/wiki/Estuarine_framework). Inspired by the dynamic nature of estuaries where tides, currents, and diverse elements interact, this framework provides a powerful lens for strategic thinking and decision-making in uncertain environments.
In this workshop, you will:- Discover the core principles of Estuarine Mapping: Learn how this framework moves beyond traditional linear planning to embrace the inherent complexity of systems.
- Master the Estuarine Mapping process: We will guide you through the key steps, including mapping constraints, understanding energy and time implications, and identifying areas for potential influence.
- Learn to identify "Micro-Nudges": Discover how to initiate small, safe-to-fail experiments to navigate complex challenges and foster emergent solutions.
- Apply Estuarine Mapping to real-world scenarios: Through interactive exercises, you'll gain practical experience in using this framework to address complex issues relevant to various fields.
- Connect with like-minded individuals: Network with professionals interested in innovative approaches to complexity and strategic thinking.
Why is Estuarine Mapping important?
- Navigating Complexity: It provides tools to make sense of and act within situations where cause-and-effect relationships are not clear. By focusing on the present context and potential pathways, it helps in setting a direction rather than rigid goals. By promoting small experiments, it allows for learning and flexible responses to emerging conditions. By encouraging small experiments, it can lead to the emergence of novel solutions.
- Offers a visual and collaborative approach: Mapping limitations and possibilities together builds shared understanding and facilitates communication. The mapping process can help to surface different perspectives and build a shared understanding of the system's dynamics.
- Risk Management: By understanding limitations and potential vulnerabilities, it can help to mitigate risks associated with interventions.
In essence, Estuarine Mapping offers a sophisticated yet practical way to approach complex systems by visualising emergent patterns and dynamics of a challenge, to identify transformation through adaptive actions.
Who should attend?
This workshop is valuable for:- Leaders and managers seeking new approaches to strategic planning.
- Project managers navigating complex projects with many stakeholders.
- Innovation teams looking for methods to foster creativity and manage uncertainty.
- Consultants and facilitators working with complex organizational challenges.
- Anyone interested in understanding and navigating complexity more effectively.
Workshop Details:
- Facilitator: Linus Brunis, Berlin, businessdialoge.de
What to bring:
- An open mind and willingness to engage in new perspectives.
We look forward to exploring the power of Estuarine Mapping with you!
