About the Book
An enterprise faces a familiar dilemma: trapped between an expensive upgrade and a system no one fully understands. Customisations multiplied, teams moved on, and every release widened the gap.
This is not a software problem — it is a structure problem. The organisation has allowed one system to bind together how work is done, decisions are made, data is owned, teams coordinate, and change happens. Technology and operating model became one monolith.
The answer is not simply "microservices" or "decentralise." Decentralisation without standards creates fragmentation; autonomy without accountability creates disorder.
How do we separate the parts that need to evolve independently while preserving the coherence, trust, and shared purpose that enable them to cooperate?
