As regulated service providers accelerate digital transformation, a critical insight has emerged: AI only functions effectively where organizational structure is sound. Across public administration, utilities, hospitals, shared services, and smart-city ecosystems, leaders are confronting a widening chasm between technological ambition and organizational readiness. To bridge this gap, AllyAllez, the official training provider for Acertare in the D-A-CH region, has launched the 'Change & Service Architect' In-House Certification Program. This initiative represents a dual-track qualification that unites Service Architecture with ethical, ACMP-aligned change management.
The program addresses a fundamental problem: most AI initiatives fail not due to technological shortcomings, but because organizations lack structural clarity, role legitimacy, and proper governance. When responsibilities and service flows remain ambiguous, AI tends to amplify existing friction rather than generate value. The Change & Service Architect Program confronts this challenge by merging two essential disciplines. The Service Architecture track instructs teams on defining service objects, flows, roles, handover logic, and the strategic placement of AI to ensure reliability, compliance, and measurable impact. This methodology is grounded in the servuction logic developed by Paul G. Huppertz.
Concurrently, the program integrates the DOIT Change Method. Participants apply Acertare's Discover–Observe–Ideate–Transform framework to actual projects, utilizing diagnostic tools like the Acertare Change Canvas. This approach fosters trust, dialogue, and alignment—core principles reflected in the ACMP Change Management Standard. The program is powered by Acertare, an ACMP Qualified Education Provider, and adheres to this global standard, emphasizing ethical, people-centered, and participatory transformation.
Upon completion, participants earn two certifications: a Service Architect Certification for achieving structural clarity necessary for safe, scalable AI deployment, and a Change Architect Certification, an ACMP-aligned qualification based on a comprehensive DOIT change plan. As Acertare's exclusive training delivery partner for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, AllyAllez delivers QEP-compliant education with bilingual facilitation and deep expertise at the intersection of AI, service logic, governance, and organizational change. The training format includes a two-day onsite intensive workshop, two remote follow-up sessions, real-project coaching, and peer learning opportunities.
The program is designed for teams in public administration, hospitals, utilities, shared services, public-private partnerships, and enterprise support functions such as IT, HR, finance, procurement, and operations. It proves particularly valuable for teams navigating new leadership, onboarding cycles, AI strategy resets, or the need for stronger alignment between business units and IT or Compliance departments. Organizations that complete the program gain a shared structural language, clearer collaboration between business and IT, reduced tool-sprawl, faster onboarding processes, and measurable improvements in service delivery for citizens, patients, and partners.

This launch conveys a crucial message for service organizations undertaking AI adoption: AI does not replace structure—it demands it. Teams equipped with clarity, ethical frameworks, and shared architectural understanding will likely define the next decade of public service. By targeting the root causes of implementation failure rather than superficial symptoms, this certification aims to provide teams with the legitimacy and structured framework required to make AI operational, explainable, and effective within high-stakes, regulated environments.
