After 35 Years in Enterprise IT, New Column Argues AI Fails at the Org Chart, Not the Model
DavidLinthicum · x · 2026-09-16
Veteran enterprise architect David Linthicum launches a new column on AI and enterprise topics for CIOs trying to turn shrinking budgets into business value.
His first piece argues that enterprise AI fails at the org chart, not the model layer: IT owns the tool, the business owns the process, and nobody owns the outcome. Drawing on 35 years watching enterprises absorb client-server, the web, cloud and big data, he contends the hardest problems are rarely the technology but org charts, decision rights and incentives — the focus of the column going forward.
