Architects are essentially the Rosetta Stone of an organization, providing translation services between the executive suite and the development floors. They also keep the institutional memory of an organization in tack.

Join us for a special conversation with Neal Ford and software architect extraordinaire Nathaniel Schutta to discover why an architect’s key job is to be a storyteller, then learn how to help make architecture a central part of your company’s innovation strategy.
