In preparing last weeks article I came across a series of blog posts from Ardoq (thanks to Ed Granger) that deserves more attention (catch it here). There are quite a few posts (maybe too many) on how GenAI and Agentic AI can be used in organisations but not much on how we conceptualise and plan for this from a Enterprise Architecture (EA) perspective. Ardoq’s insightful blog series delves into GenAI’s impact on EA and more – it’s really worth a read.

The GenAI Skills Gap Seems Real: Are most people just getting started?
Am I living in a GenAI echo chamber? While my LinkedIn feed overflows with the latest AI breakthroughs and ‘must-try’ features, my experience in the trenches tells a different story. As a volunteer leading GenAI projects, delivering prompt engineering training and talking about GenAI in the non-profit sector, I’ve witnessed a gulf between the breathless pace of AI innovation and how most people actually use these tools day-to-day. (I have to say that I have not noticed resistance, concern – yes, but not resistance and in all cases I see the ‘wow’ moment happen when people realise the possibilities and practical applications.)
AI and Change Management: OCM’s crucial role in AI Projects
In a Gartner presentation by Max Goss this week the subject of Organisational Change Management (OCM) in AI projects was brought up. OCM has always been important in IT projects but what makes it different in AI projects? Well, no surprise, it’s not just about the technology, it’s about the usual suspects such as communications, involving the right stakeholders, leveraging change networks and delivering training but there are more things to consider in the rapidly evolving landscape of AI.
