Architecture & Platform Foundations for Reliable AI at Scale

SYNOPSIS

Digital leaders don’t just adopt technology—they design systems that can evolve safely and sustainably. Yet many organizations remain constrained by legacy architectures, rigid processes, and fragmented teams, limiting their ability to scale innovation and introduce AI with confidence across core systems.

In this keynote, James Lewis, internationally recognised software architecture expert and co-creator of the Microservices architectural style, explores the architectural and platform foundations required to support reliable, scalable AI in real-world environments. Drawing on decades of consulting experience, James shares practical insights on aligning technology strategy with organisational design, evolving engineering practices, and establishing governance that enables teams to move fast without compromising reliability, security, or trust.

Designed for C-level executives and senior technology leaders, this session offers actionable guidance for modernising platforms, breaking down silos, and strengthening the foundations needed to operationalise AI alongside existing digital products and services. Attendees will gain a clear framework for making architectural decisions that deliver speed, resilience, and long-term competitive advantage—whether scaling digital capabilities, optimising operations, or navigating complex regulatory and operational constraints in an increasingly AI-enabled world.
