(09:00–12:00, parallella sessioner) Workshop: Making IT Architecture choices understandable for everyone (ENG)

In this workshop, Schuberg Philis will help you explore the question: how can we make the human, real-world impact of IT architecture choices understandable to everyone, and how can AI help us accelerate that?
We’ll expand on our existing physical demo with interactive scenarios based on real digital environments. This setup helps bridge the gap between complex IT, business processes, and the people affected by them. The demo helped to increase engagement, shared understanding, and alignment across various audiences.
During the workshop, you’ll explore how to convey IT architecture decisions in different real-world scenarios. You’ll experiment with ways to present that clarity so it lands with a variety of people and discover how AI can accelerate and support these scenarios.
After the workshop, you’ll have practical, hands-on experience designing architectural decisions in a way that’s easier for people to understand.
You’ll be supported by the innovation team of Schuberg Philis. Expect it to be unconventional, hands-on, messy and fun! We hope you’ll leave with fresh ideas you can bring straight back into your day-to-day work.

(09:00–12:00, parallella sessioner) Workshop: When We Realise We’re Not Talking to Monkeys (ENG)

Collaboration in complex enterprises often breaks down not because people lack competence or good intentions, but because they interpret the organisation and its challenges through different perspectives.

Architects, developers, designers and business stakeholders frequently operate with different languages, mental models and tools. These differences are valuable, but they can also lead to misunderstandings, hidden assumptions and misalignment that slow down initiatives and make collaboration difficult.

This practical workshop explores how structured conversations can help reveal these hidden assumptions and create shared understanding across disciplines.

Participants will apply a simple enterprise scanning exercise to a real initiative from their own organisation. Through individual reflection, pair discussions and group dialogue, the workshop explores how different perspectives shape how we understand organisations and the initiatives within them.

The goal of the workshop is not only to introduce a practical tool that participants can immediately use in their own organisations, but also to help participants gain new insight into their own current initiatives and how collaboration across perspectives can be improved.

(09:00–12:00, parallella sessioner) Workshop: Att kartlägga komplexa nulägen i sociala system (SV)

I den här workshoppen får ni ett ramverk för hur ni kan bättre förstå ert nuläge när ni står inför en förändring. Vilken disposition har det sociala system som vårt nya IT-lösning ska verka i? Vi arbetar med Cynefins Estaurine map (ibland Affordence map) och under workshopen får ni både pröva metodiken, lite teori kring den och råd om hur arbetet kan faciliteras

(09:00–12:00, parallella sessioner) Workshop: Arkitekturgemenskapen – Vad ska arkitekten sluta göra? (SV)

AI förändrar snabbt hur vi arbetar som arkitekter. Vissa uppgifter blir enklare, vissa automatiseras och nya möjligheter uppstår. Samtidigt finns det delar av arkitektrollen som kanske blir viktigare än någonsin.
I denna interaktiva workshop utforskar vi tillsammans hur arkitektrollen kan utvecklas under de kommande åren. Vad bör vi sluta lägga tid på? Vad behöver vi fortsätta göra? Och vilka nya förmågor, arbetssätt och perspektiv behöver vi börja utveckla?
Genom gemensamma diskussioner och erfarenhetsutbyte skapar vi en framtidsbild av arkitektrollen i en tid där AI blir en allt mer naturlig del av verksamhetsutveckling och digitalisering.
Workshopen riktar sig till dig som är nyfiken på hur arkitektyrket förändras och vill bidra till samtalet om framtidens arkitektur.

(13:45–14:30) Architecture Is Not Enough: Bridging the Gap Between Design and Real Work. Why systems that look good on paper struggle in practice — and what we can learn from everyday work (ENG)

Many systems are well-architected on paper—structured, scalable, and aligned with best practices. Yet, when they meet everyday work, something happens. Workarounds emerge, informal practices take shape, and the system is adapted in ways that were never intended

This talk explores the gap between design and real work from a socio-technical perspective. Drawing on research and empirical examples from digitalisation in organizational practice, it highlights how systems, people, and organizational contexts interact in ways that challenge assumptions made during design.

Rather than offering prescriptive guidelines, the talk invites reflection on what everyday work can teach us about architecture. What becomes visible when we shift focus from systems as designed to systems as used? And how can these insights help us better understand what it means to build systems that actually work in practice?

(13:00–13:45) Humanizing Software Architecture (ENG)

The traditional view of software architecture typically places humans outside the system and in the system’s environment. In this talk I argue that there are benefits in shifting this view by bringing humans into an architectural design as first-class entities. The resulting architectural designs can then much better exploit human-system synergies that are required by today’s increasingly autonomous, self-adaptative, and AI-driven systems. We will illustrate the ideas by examining case studies in which this approach has been used to provide formal human-system architectural models that attempt to maximize the respective strengths of both humans and systems. We also highlight some of the key challenges and potential directions for research in maturing these ideas.
