How do you influence complex systems, shape better outcomes, and drive meaningful change when you do not have formal authority?

In this session from the Software Architecture Conference 2026, Yevgen Nebesov explores the Architecture of Power—a practical perspective on how leadership, systems, influence, decision-making, and organizational structures shape outcomes.

The session goes beyond traditional software architecture to examine how software architects, engineering leaders, and technology professionals can understand the systems they operate within and identify where they can create meaningful impact. It highlights the connection between systems thinking, leadership, organizational dynamics, and software architecture, providing a broader framework for navigating complex technical and organizational environments.

This conference session is particularly relevant for software architects, solution architects, engineering managers, technical leaders, developers, and technology professionals looking to strengthen their ability to influence systems and drive change without relying solely on formal authority.
