EventStorming Master Class
____
Putting business, software & user experience experts on the same page
November 5th & 6th in Lausanne
with the founder of the method : Alberto Brandolini
ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
EventStorming is a workshop format invented by Alberto Brandolini that enables massive learning on complex business domains and promotes collaboration between different disciplines and across teams.
A visually effective problem-solving technique that puts everyone on the same age, EventStorming was greatly defined by Dan North : « In any EventStorming session of all different kinds, everyone knows what everyone else knows ».
This workshop format comes in different flavours, that can be used in different scenarios:
- to assess health of an existing line of business and to discover the most effective areas for improvements;
- to explore the viability of a new startup business model;
- to envision new services, that maximise positive outcomes to every party involved;
- to design clean and maintainable Event-Driven software, to support rapidly evolving businesses.
TARGET AUDIENCE
EventStorming is interdisciplinary. The specialistic notation is dropped in favour of an incremental lo-fi approach that allows an inclusive approach while drinving the exploration towards the most sensitive areas. Every participant will actively contribute.

What you will learn
In this two-day EventStorming Master Class, you will practice three different flavours (Big Picture, Process Modelling and Software Design) applied to real-world business problems.
You will take into account the different perspectives (including the facilitator) in a process that spans large-scale discovery, to leverage collaborative design.
You will experience the how, and you will discuss the why.
