What you'll learn

Run discovery before you design

Structured requirements: who decides, what done means, and which SLA they will actually hold you to.

Defend trade-offs without theatre

Explain model, cost, and failure-mode choices to the person who still owns the outcome next year.

Stay in the lifecycle after the demo

Discovery, design, handoff, monitoring, iteration. The architect's job is the loop, not the screenshot.

Why this topic matters

BCG's 10-20-70: only 10% of AI value is the algorithm. Seventy percent is people, process, and change. That is the confession inside the lab-consulting alliances. The scarce professional is not a better prompter. It is the person who can run discovery, defend trade-offs, and stay with the stakeholder who still owns the outcome next year. In 30 minutes you will practice that loop. Lesson 3 of 5.

Carmelo Iaria

Agentic Architect, Pearson SME, Startup Founder, 30 years of global experience

I help teams move from AI pilots to governed, production-grade agentic systems — through live programs and hands-on advisory.

Three decades across Europe, the US, and Brazil taught me one lesson: AI value is won in execution — clear scope, reliable multi-agent workflows, and governance that survives production.

I teach that discipline on Maven (Become an Agentic Architect, live workshops, Lightning Lessons, resources) through my AI-Assisted Multi Agent Development (AAMAD) Framework. I also work as a Fractional Chief AI Officer with teams that need embedded judgment, not generic advice — plus O’Reilly live sessions and Pearson certification-aligned programs.
