POV · Series 04
What We Believe About the AI Era.
The firm's worldview. What an agent-native firm actually means. Why this delivery model exists at this moment. What we believe will be true about enterprise IT in 2028 : and what executives should be doing in 2026 to be on the right side of that picture.
The Argument
The worldview.
The next decade of enterprise IT will not look like the last. The pyramid staffing model that defined consulting and SI work for thirty years is breaking : not because anyone is unhappy with it, but because the economics under it have shifted. The analysis hours that paid for the pyramid collapse into a platform. The judgment hours that the pyramid never had time for become the engagement.
Mactores is the firm built around that shift. The series writes the worldview out plainly, for the executives whose investment decisions in 2026 will decide whether their companies sit on the right side of the new model or the wrong one.
