The next-decade thesis.
What enterprise IT looks like in 2028 if the current direction holds. What an executive should be doing in 2026 to be on the right side of the picture.
This essay is part of The Firm Worldview, a Mactores POV series written by the engineers who ship these programs. It is published as a position paper, not a sales document — the argument stands on its own, and the evidence comes from work we have delivered.
What enterprise IT looks like in 2028 if the current direction holds. What an executive should be doing in 2026 to be on the right side of the picture.
We write these pieces because the decisions that determine whether AI reaches production are not the ones the market spends its attention on. The model menu, the framework debate, and the cloud-provider comparison are downstream of the executive choices about authority, accountability, and operational discipline. This essay takes one of those choices and works it through to a position you can defend to a board, a regulator, and a CFO.
The full essay is published with the named programs and audit artefacts that back the argument. To read it in that form, or to discuss how it applies to your environment, start a conversation with the team.
