What I think about
Four threads. One mandate.
Enterprise Architecture
The 4-layer EA model.
Business / data / application / technology as one ecosystem — wired through AI as the integration fabric, not as a fifth layer bolted on top.
Data → Value
From data-driven to value-driven.
The dashboards stop helping at some point. The job is to compress the gap between insight and action — and to measure that gap, not the chart count.
AIOps
AI inside operations.
Root-cause analysis, cost telemetry, change risk — AI assisting the operators that keep enterprise systems quietly upright.
Persona GenAI
Simulating the org pre-MVP.
CEO / staff / stakeholder personas modelled with GenAI so we test propositions against the organisation before we build them.

A walkthrough of the minimum viable AIOps setup we use at JCorp to convert cloud-cost telemetry into root-cause narratives and weekly action items.
Why AIOps starts with cost, not incidents
Reframing the entry point — most enterprises have the cost telemetry already, so that's where AI delivers value fastest.
The minimum data shape
Resource tags, owner mappings, and the eight fields a cost-RCA agent actually needs.
From narrative to action item
Closing the loop so the AI's RCA turns into a Jira ticket assigned to the right team within the same business day.
