2026 Events

• Talk: Beyond Quality: Measuring Trust in AI Outcomes. How to complement traditional quality metrics with trust-oriented measures to evaluate AI outcomes more reliably for trust-aligned strategic decisions. 21-22 May 2026, Vienna, Austria, Software Quality Days 2026.

• Live Podcast: On the Software Testing podcast hosted by Richard Seidl (scheduled for recording 11 February 2026), we will discuss the nuances of how AI implementation is governed at the levels of strategy and software architecture.

Having Alexis as a guest on Software Testing Unleashed was a real pleasure. We had a conversation about AI strategy and what it actually takes to make it work in regulated environments, and Alexis brought genuine depth to every part of it. The thinking was great, the examples were concrete, and the conversation stayed dynamic from start to finish. Anyone looking for a guest or speaker who can take a complex topic and make it both accessible and thought-provoking will be in very good hands.

Most Popular Workshop Topic

• Strategy Implementation System. Why do strategies fail? What are the challenges of strategy implementation? How can we deploy a complex strategy that involves multiple business entities and considers the needs of various stakeholders? In this hands-on talk, we take a journey to implement a strategy in practice. We start from the high-level company mission, cascade it into sub-strategies, and make the strategy execution-ready by decomposing it into goals, KPIs, initiatives, and risks. Based on the strategy implementation system.
