Digital Transformation Survivors.
Episode 1, Part 1 – Filip Bech-Larsen
Welcome to the very first episode of Digital Transformation Survivors! In this series, we explore the challenges and breakthroughs that come with managing complex web estates and digital transformation.
In this episode, host Julian Tedstone, Managing Director at Coherence, sits down with Filip Bech-Larsen, CTO of Umbraco CMS—one of the most widely used open-source content management systems powering major brands like Domino’s, Mercedes-Benz, and Carlsberg.
Together, they dive into:
🔹 The rise of open-source in enterprise environments and how trust has evolved over the last decade.
🔹 The balance between flexibility and governance when managing large-scale, multi-brand web estates.
🔹 Why composable architectures can be both a game-changer and a potential pitfall—and how to avoid “composable regret.”
🔹 The hidden complexity of enterprise replatforming and strategies to ensure successful digital transformation.
🔹 How user experience, editor experience, and developer freedom can (and should) coexist.
Filip shares invaluable insights on stability, predictability, and how enterprises can future-proof their digital strategies without getting locked into rigid solutions. Plus, we hear why Umbraco is focused on foundation-first innovation—holding off on AI hype until the tech proves its long-term value.
This episode is packed with strategic takeaways for digital leaders, IT teams, and anyone navigating complex digital ecosystems.
