IgnITech Academy

The Architecture of
Efficient Business

The operational knowledge every tech executive needs — and almost nobody teaches.

A practical course for technical professionals who want to become tech leads — and for those already leading who want to understand how high-performing tech companies are organised, operated, and run at the layer that actually determines commercial outcomes.

Watch the Introduction — no account required

A short introduction to give you a better understanding of what the course is about.


Executive awareness across the full operational layer

Not how to run every process yourself — how to design systems, evaluate what you see, ask the right questions, and make decisions that compound over a career.

01

How tech companies break

The thirty-person inflection point, the three structural fault lines, and why the pattern is always the same.

02

Organisational design that scales

The fatal silo mistake, the consultant-led delivery model, and the structural transitions from ten to one hundred people.

03

Pre-sales and the handoff

How pre-sales quality determines delivery margin, and how to design a handoff that works by system rather than by discipline.

04

Project management operations

The difference between managed and administered projects, honest versus performative reporting, and commercial scope control.

05

Delivery operations and culture

Quality gates, technical debt awareness, delivery culture as an operational lever, and the technology decision framework.

06

Support as a revenue function

Why support is where client relationships are actually won or lost — and how to design an operation that reflects that commercially.

Written for two audiences simultaneously

Audience A

Technical professionals moving toward tech lead roles

You are technically strong and building toward a leadership position. You want to understand the operational and commercial layer above you — not when you are already in the role, but before you need it.

Audience B

Agency owners and IT firm founders

You are already running something. Projects are harder to predict than they should be. Margins are tighter than expected. You want to understand what the structural causes are — and what to fix first.

Built from real engagements, not theory

This course is taught by Jaroslav, founder of IgnITech — a consulting practice focused on sales-to-delivery operations for software agencies, IT consulting firms, and SaaS companies.

With roughly ten years of hands-on experience across solution architecture, cloud infrastructure, SQL, API integration, software project management, pre-sales consulting, and delivery operations, the material in this course is drawn directly from patterns observed across real companies — not assembled from textbooks.

The operational failures described in this course are real. The fixes are tested. The frameworks have been applied in live client engagements.


One course. One price. Lifetime access.


Frequently asked

Technical professionals who are moving toward tech lead roles, and those already leading who want to understand the operational and structural layer above the purely technical work. Also founders and managers of tech firms who want to understand the structural causes of the operational problems they are dealing with.
This course is taught at executive awareness depth, not practitioner depth. It will not teach you how to configure a tool, write a process document, or implement a methodology. It teaches you to evaluate, diagnose, and design — the layer above the work, not inside it. A strong technical background helps you contextualise it, but it is not a prerequisite.
The total video runtime is three hours and twenty minutes across nineteen lessons. With the interactive exercises and quizzes, most students complete the course in four to five hours, spread across a few sessions. You have lifetime access, so there is no pressure to rush.
