The last 20% is what can make or break your enterprise AI. Generative tools can spin up prototypes and workflows in seconds. Composable architectures make it possible to reconfigure systems endlessly. But speed and flexibility alone don’t guarantee great outcomes. The real differentiator comes from how autonomy and control are designed into these systems: - How much freedom should customers have? - Where must enterprises step in with governance and compliance? - How do we preserve the human creativity that AI can’t replicate— aka the spark that drives true differentiation? Explore how design leaders can navigate these tensions, with practical UI patterns, guidance on balancing autonomy and governance, and the critical questions to raise with vendors and partners, and move beyond “good enough” to create lasting AI advantage. 👉 https://hubs.li/Q03Kxjm70 #AI #ComposableCommerce #Design

We said the events and announcements were coming fast and furious and we weren't lying... Big news from the MACH Alliance today: The MACH Architect Certification is here. Until now, certifications in the composable space were mostly tied to specific vendors. This new program is different. It validates individual expertise in designing, managing, and deploying composable solutions— independent of any single platform. Because enterprise organizations are scaling composable architectures faster than ever, especially in the AI era, they need proven experts who can guide transformation at speed and with confidence. With the MACH Architect Certification, technical professionals gain: - Trusted, third-party recognition of their MACH expertise ✅ - Career acceleration and new opportunities in MACH-aligned businesses 📈 - Connection to a global community of certified experts 🌎 This is a major step forward in building the talent base enterprises need to thrive in a composable and agentic future.
