Join the Circle of Transformation

Bizzdesign Circle gives you the rare chance to step back from day-to-day execution and connect with a trusted community of leaders driving change. In today’s fast-moving, complex transformation landscape, learning directly from peers is a strategic advantage.

This event isn’t about products or pitches. It’s about perspective, alignment, and actionable insight you can apply immediately.

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

Where Getting It Wrong Isn't an Option: Governing AI in the Public Sector
1:30pm - 2:30pm EST

Presented by Amol Jadhav

Everyone is asking how fast they can adopt AI. Amol Jadhav spends his days on a harder question: how do you adopt it responsibly when getting it wrong isn't an option? Drawing on patterns from AI programs across state government and public higher education, Amol argues that responsible AI is an organizational design challenge before it's a technology one, and that enterprise architecture is the discipline that makes it work at scale. 

He'll explore why the public sector's constraints are a preview of every enterprise's near future, and how EA shifts from static documentation to the decision layer that tells leaders where AI creates value, what it touches, and what's at stake if it fails. 

Coming Soon

How Is AI Changing the Role of the Enterprise Architect?
3:30pm - 4:30pm EST

Presented by Sam Phillippi

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.
