About this listen
Why do the best technical solutions often fail in the boardroom? In this inaugural episode of Coda est Poesis, we explore why software architecture is less about deterministic systems and more about human negotiation.
Drawing on insights from political science, we break down how to navigate organizational power dynamics, build "Trust Batteries," and use integrative bargaining to get your architectural visions approved.
Whether you are a Senior Lead or a Principal Architect, mastering the "S-word"—politics—is the key to increasing your impact.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
The "Conflict, Gain, and Risk" model for stakeholder management.
Why technical excellence isn't enough to drive organizational change.
Practical strategies to trade technical debt for political capital.
