X Marks the Spot: Navigating Possible Futures with Wardley Maps
summary
Covers the Wardley mapping method that turns component graphs into actionable maps by adding an anchor and evolution axis, claiming a repeatable pattern Genesis→custom build→product→commodity→utility. Shows concrete outcomes: an insurance firm drops a multi‑million robotics plan by standardising racks, HS2 saves ~£425m and up to £1.5bn over a program by matching methods to map position, and Ubuntu uses maps to win ~70% of early cloud deployments. Demonstrates an implemented conversational programming prototype built on serverless at AWS re:Invent.
