AI does not only make development faster, it moves the capability out into the whole organisation. Suddenly anyone can build and change things in the systems. It is enormously powerful, but combined with old ways of working it leads to either chaos or no effect at all.

Technical debt is more than a technical concept, it is a business-critical reality that affects everything from time-to-market to customer experience. In e-commerce, where every millisecond and every click counts, the choices you make in your technical platform can have far-reaching consequences. When quick fixes are prioritised over long-term durability, an invisible but growing debt is built up.

I have collected a few things that I think make a real difference day to day. It may sound obvious, but I have seen more than one project fail because of poor communication. With small means you can influence more than you think.
Can you sell a house with e-commerce logic? To us in the e-commerce world, the question sounds almost absurd. 'Of course you can!' we all shout, fire a confetti cannon and laugh happily.
Commerce Mind Nexus is a free framework we have built to help our clients improve their background processes and data flows, but above all to give visibility and control over them to non-technical people.
Tobias Bergström at Commerce Mind was recently interviewed by the e-commerce company Litium for their newsletter.
