Team Topologies Advocacy

Malte has successfully introduced Team Topologies at two of Austria's largest companies: ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) and XXXLutz KG (the world’s second-largest furniture retailer). At ÖBB, he spearheaded the organization’s enterprise-wide cloud transformation. Early on, it became evident that traditional ways of working would not suffice. By adopting Team Topologies, the team established a lean, cloud-first organization, accelerating progress across all capabilities.

In addition to his consulting work, Malte regularly writes and comments on socio-technical architecture, with a particular emphasis on Team Topologies. Much of his work is shared internally through company workshops and alignment sessions, which is why his content is not widely available to the public. However, here are a few public examples:
