Update #2 2026: Building Your Intelligence Layer – AI Architecture & Orchestration
Architecting the Intelligence Layer (FPOV Update #2 2026)
Presented by Sean McLean
Most leadership teams still think their AI strategy is a tools conversation. It’s not. The real shift is architectural, about where your organization’s knowledge gets captured, scaled, and operationalized, and who controls it. AI isn’t just supporting decisions anymore. It’s starting to make them. FPOV Senior Consultant Sean McLean leads a strategic session that reframes AI as an architecture decision, not a tools decision, and helps leaders build an Intelligence Layer that works for their organization. Topics explored:
- What changes when AI can store, reason, and act on your organization’s knowledge
- The real tradeoffs between building intelligence in-house and outsourcing it to platforms
- How to think about governance, security, and ownership in an AI-native world
- A practical framework for deciding what to build, what to buy, and what to partner on
- This session will help you have the architecture conversation your leadership team hasn’t had yet and set the foundation for AI that actually serves your business.
