As regulated service providers accelerate digital transformation efforts, organizations across public administration, utilities, hospitals, shared services, and smart-city ecosystems face a widening gap between technological ambition and organizational readiness. Most artificial intelligence initiatives fail not because of technology limitations, but because organizations lack structural clarity, role legitimacy, and proper governance frameworks. When responsibilities and service flows remain unclear, AI implementations tend to amplify existing organizational friction rather than produce measurable value.
To address this systemic challenge, AllyAllez, the official training provider for Acertare in the D-A-CH region, has launched the Change & Service Architect In-House Certification Program. This dual-track qualification unites service architecture with ethical, ACMP-aligned change management principles. The program follows the global ACMP Change Management Standard and emphasizes ethical, people-centered, and participatory transformation approaches.
The certification program combines two critical disciplines: Service Architecture, where teams learn to define service objects, flows, roles, handover logic, and the correct placement of AI to ensure reliability, compliance, and measurable impact; and the DOIT Change Method, where participants apply Acertare's Discover-Observe-Ideate-Transform framework to real projects supported by diagnostic tools such as the Acertare Change Canvas. This integrated approach builds trust, dialogue, and alignment among stakeholders.
Participants can earn two certifications through the program: the Service Architect Certification, which provides structural clarity for safe and scalable AI implementations, and the Change Architect Certification, an ACMP-aligned qualification built on a complete DOIT-based change plan. The training includes a two-day onsite intensive session, two remote follow-up sessions, real-project coaching, and peer learning opportunities, with a minimum group size of six participants.
The program is particularly relevant for teams in public administration, hospitals, utilities, shared services, public-private partnerships, and enterprise support functions including IT, HR, finance, procurement, and operations. It proves especially valuable for organizations facing new leadership transitions, onboarding cycles, AI strategy resets, or the need for stronger alignment between business units and IT and compliance departments.
Organizations that complete the certification can expect several tangible benefits, including a shared structural language across departments, clearer collaboration between business and IT functions, reduced tool-sprawl, faster onboarding processes, and measurable improvements in service delivery for citizens, patients, and partners. The program addresses what AllyAllez identifies as the core problem in many digital transformation efforts: responsibility without structure.
As AllyAllez leadership notes, "AI does not replace structure — it requires structure. Teams with clarity, ethics, and shared architecture will define the next decade of public service." The certification program represents a structured approach to digital transformation that clarifies services, roles, and governance while giving teams the legitimacy to act with confidence in high-stakes environments.
