If you guide transformation and want to stay ahead of what’s next, Bizzdesign Circle is where those conversations start.

Presented by Brian Chambers
As AI takes on more of the technical work, how is the role of the Enterprise Architect evolving? This open discussion will explore where AI is reshaping the architect’s responsibilities and where human judgment, organizational context, and strategic thinking remain essential. Attendees from across industries will have the opportunity to share perspectives, experiences, and questions around how architects can adapt, demonstrate value, and continue to influence strategic decision-making in an AI-driven enterprise.
Presented by Bob Peck
For years, enterprise architecture earned its keep at the gate: reviewing designs, approving exceptions, and cataloging what got built. But when change moves faster than any review board can, gates become bottlenecks.
During this session Bob will share how Unum has reshaped its practice since 2022 by trading checkpoints for guardrails. Clear standards, shared models, and increasingly AI-assisted guidance let teams make sound decisions on their own, freeing architects to focus on the few choices that truly shape the enterprise.
Presented by Daniel Hebda
AI accelerates action. Without intent, it only gets you to the wrong place sooner.
Explore a future where architecture becomes a living intelligence layer, making goals, context, and boundaries machine-readable so AI agents act on strategy, not just rules. Humans set intent; systems carry it to the edge. The organizations that win will scale discernment, not just output, because judgment sets the ceiling on what AI can be trusted to do.
