 What better way to to start off the session here than with somebody who knows the standard and Can already see the benefits that it brings So we we have a video this morning from Eve Casso who Dr. Eve Casso has been Michelin group CIO since October 2017 and prior to that he was AXA group head of digital responsible for the development of innovative web and mobile experiences as well as the digital coordination of information systems in this video and Dr. Casso will give us a testimonial from Michelin supporting the new open agile architecture standard so please play the video Hello I am Eve Casso I'm the group CIO of Michelin I've been at Michelin for three years before that I was in a big group for 20 years and then I was the group head of digital at AXA and I am delighted to have this chance to talk to you about the agile architecture framework which I have for which I have a copy here with me because I'm a strong believer in the principles and the axioms that are presented in chapter nine of this book I really love the content of this collective work but I decided to pick three things I wanted to share with you first is the importance of customer centricity in this world that changes constantly customer centricity and the need to adapt leads to continuous architecture at Michelin we are very deep believers in continuous architecture including refactoring and we believe that constant adapting and autonomy is much better than control the second key themes of the of the book is the importance of system thinking and I also believe that in this VUCA and complex world we are building systems that are constantly evolving and that are difficult to manage unless you step back and you leverage key ideas from system seeking such as flows reinforcing loops technical debt and and so on third I want to emphasize the shift from project to product which is another of our strategy transformation at Michelin moving from project to product is one of the key ideas of lean software development as explained by Tom and Mary Popendick that's also something that I strongly believe I worked at brick telecom and access to develop the lean software factory which is really about moving from project to product I wrote a book recently about the lean approach to digital transformation it covers lean startup lean software factories and the importance of lean architecture and it is surprisingly aligned with the content of the agile architecture framework I am totally convinced that the agile architecture framework is mandatory for companies to succeed in our digital world
