Saturday ArchitectureAI: The Imperfect Odyssey SA- 73 Kumaran kicks things off with a revelation that his two decades of experience is about as useful for AI as a chocolate teapot is for brewing tea. It's like a fish trying to climb a tree - utterly out of its element! Deepak, not to be outdone, likens AI to a weather forecast - unpredictable, often wrong, but we still check it every day. He suggests that architects are trying to read the AI book in the dark, fumbling around for the light switch of understanding.

Saturday ArchitectureHow do we motivate or inspire them to use it? - Part 4 of 4 Part Series SA- 69To motivate users to adopt and use applications, it is important to make the application solve their day-to-day issues or their job, empower them to solve their own problems and involve them in the process of generating and visualizing the idea for the application. Change management and adoption building should begin at the beginning of the development process. It may be challenging to motivate experienced senior executives, but building a sense of community and creating incentives can be effective strategies.

Saturday ArchitectureDoes the architect's job change in a hybrid scenario?

That means that every team will be different.  When it comes to architecture and development teams working in hybrid environments, there tends to be a split of opinions. Some say you should continue on the same path you had before and others believe the best way forward is to change things up a bit.
