Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a robust software development methodology that centres on modelling intricate software behaviours by aligning technical execution with fundamental business concepts. This course examines how DDD empowers teams to manage complexity and mitigate risk through strategic and tactical patterns. Participants will learn to establish a "Ubiquitous Language", delineate clear boundaries via Bounded Contexts, and utilise specific building blocks such as Entities, Value Objects, and Aggregates. The objective is to develop flexible, maintainable software architectures that remain consistent with the evolving business domain.

There is a wealth of proven patterns readily accessible to everyone. Often, it simply involves adapting the nomenclature and implementing the pattern within a specific technology. This approach can save countless hours that would otherwise be dedicated to design and testing. The goals of this training are twofold: first, it empowers you to leverage widely recognised patterns; second, it enables you to create and reuse patterns tailored to your organisation. It assists you in estimating how patterns can reduce costs, systematise the design process, and generate a code framework based on your patterns. The intended audience includes software designers, business analysts, project managers, programmers and developers, as well as operational managers and software division managers. The course style centres on use cases and their relationship with specific patterns. Most examples are explained using UML and simple Java examples (the language may change if the course is booked as a closed course). It guides you through the origins of patterns and demonstrates how to catalogue and describe patterns that can be reused across your organisation.

In this instructor-led, live workshop training in Auckland (online or on-site), participants will learn how to apply the five stages of Design Thinking to better understand the problems experienced by end-users of a product or service, and then develop the most effective approach to resolve them.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Use creative strategies to align customer needs with technologically feasible solutions.

Overview:

The Design Thinking (DT) process comprises five distinct stages: empathise, define the problem, ideate, prototype, and test.

In an increasingly complex world, we encounter challenges that often require specialised approaches. Design Thinking provides the framework to tackle these complex issues effectively. Mastering design thinking enables individuals to manage complex problems efficiently, communicate more clearly, persuade with greater impact, improve business outcomes, and enhance both organisational and personal behaviour and performance.

• How DT works: learn from people and problem, find patterns, design model (model drift), test the model, evaluate the model and re-engineer.
• Relationship between DT, innovation and entrepreneurship.
• DT methods and tools: persona, stakeholder map, customer journey map, service blueprint, business model innovation.
• Application of DT: design mindset, disruptive innovation, iterative approach, agile estimation technique, critical thinking, problem solving, teamwork, leadership readiness, communication skills, technology savvy, forward thinking, intercultural and ethical competency, emotional intelligence, self-awareness, negotiating skills, conflict resolution.

Objectives:

• To understand the fundamentals and nuances of DT
• To explore key concepts, factors, theories, types, and models in DT
• To experiment, experience and practice DT

Delivery:

This is a 1 day (4 hours) training course and consists of:

• lectures (40% - presentation of theories, concepts, models, and interactions),
• group exercises (30% - group dynamics, games, group discussion, and mock-conflict resolution exercises),
• individual activities (15% - writing, designing and peer discussion)
• and others (15% - videos, reading).

The RISC-V ecosystem has evolved from a niche open-source instruction set architecture (ISA) into a mainstream technology with substantial momentum across edge computing, the Internet of Things (IoT), automotive systems, AI acceleration, and server-grade processors. Industry analyses highlight a significant skills gap: there are fewer than 5,000 RISC-V chip designers worldwide, yet over 15,000 positions remain open in the semiconductor sector. Current hiring trends indicate that employers value proficiency in RISC-V architecture combined with skills in System-on-Chip (SoC) design, RTL verification using UVM and SystemVerilog, AI accelerator development, Rust systems programming, confidential computing, and open-source toolchains. The fastest-growing competency areas include automotive-grade RISC-V compliant with ISO 26262, server-class processors featuring AIA interrupt controllers and multi-core coherence, and edge AI inference NPUs. Companies such as SiFive, Qualcomm, and Western Digital are accelerating RISC-V development, creating demand for engineers capable of bridging architecture specification, silicon implementation, firmware, and software stack development within a unified skill set.
