Talk Details

We are putting business, software, and user experience experts on the same page!
In this four-hour workshop with Alessandro Di Gioia and Marco Consolaro (who collaborates with Alberto Brandolini), we’ll practice the Big Picture EventStorming applied to a real-world greenfield business scenario. We will consider the different perspectives (including the facilitator) in a process that spans large-scale discovery to leverage collaborative design. 
We’ll experience the how, and we’ll discuss the why.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to enable a Big Picture Eventstorming in your company!
No prior experience with EventStorming is needed.
You do not need a laptop to join this Master Class. In this very interactive workshop, you will be engaging with Alessandro, Marco, and other attendees most of the time. We will also spend considerable time standing and walking around, so please remember to wear comfortable shoes.
