Liatrio

Your enterprise probably has an AI strategy. Our question is: can your platform support it? One of our Principal Architects, Oliver created a list of questions to ask and be able to answer before you're ready to implement that AI Strategy. The truth is that AI amplifies what's already there. In this blog, Oliver breaks down what needs to be there first, and what happens to the organizations that skip it. We recommend you read this before you type another word on your AI strategy: hubs.li/Q04jcht40

Last chance to grab a spot for tomorrow's Agent Skills webinar! At 1 PM CT, Robert Kelly and Damien Storms from Liatrio walk through how to turn your team's best AI workflows into reusable, shareable skills. Live and free. Register here → hubs.li/Q04h_Kvn0

Meet Masele Ivey, Sr. Marketing Manager based in Houston, TX! Her background building programs that connect people and strengthen brand presence found a natural home at Liatrio. Masele values Liatrio for the culture rooted in transparency, experimentation, and a willingness to take action. She brings Liatrio's mission to life, turning the work we do into meaningful connections with the people and organizations we serve. When she's not driving impact at work, you'll find her hanging out with her son, snapping photos, singing, painting, and galavanting on her next adventure. She's a seafood lover (crab legs + poke 🦀) and her forever vibe is Bob Marley. We're so glad you're part of the team, Masele! 💚

Our recent spec-driven development webinar was a hit with attendees for one simple reason: we don’t just talk about outcomes. We demonstrate the process. From point A to point B, we show what implementation looks like in the real world. Join Robert Kelly and Damien Storm on May 28 for the next session in the Build with Liatrio webinar series: “Agent Skills: Turning AI Workflows into Reusable Team Capabilities.” They'll cover what an agent skill is, how to author one from scratch, and how to scale adoption responsibly across your organization.

We're sponsoring O11yCon 2026 in San Francisco (May 20-21), and we'd love for you to join us there. 🎉 If you work in observability, platform engineering, or just spend too much time staring at dashboards (no judgment), this is the event for you. O11yCon brings together engineers and practitioners for real conversations about monitoring, tracing, and building systems you can actually trust. On May 20th, we invite you to join us and @Honeycomb in our hands-on workshop, "Operating the OpenTelemetry Collector at Scale," where we will show attendees how to build production-ready telemetry pipelines that send high-quality, context-rich structured events to Honeycomb. Find us at the workshop, at the booth, or in the hallways. See you in SF. 👋 Register here: hubs.li/Q04gDbGT0

Ready to go from individual AI users to AI-native teams? That's what agent skills make possible. Join us on May 28, where Liatrio's VP of Innovation, Robert Kelly, and Lead AI Enablement Engineer, Damien Storm, will walk through how. We'll cover what Agent Skills are, where they fit alongside prompts, CLAUDE.md, subagents, hooks, and MCP, and how teams can author, distribute, and govern them safely. You'll see two live demos, installing an existing skill and creating a new skill from scratch, plus a look at how we converted SDD itself into an advanced skill with dynamic routing, helper scripts, and evals. Leave with a practical mental model and a starter path: pick one workflow your team repeated last week, and turn it into a reusable skill by next week. See you there!

We practice what we preach. AI fluency isn't just for engineers, it belongs in every role. That's why every employee at Liatrio steps away from their day job to spend two to four weeks learning how to work with AI. What started as a way to enable our engineers has grown into a company mandate. This month it was our revenue and marketing teams' turn - two full weeks, no regular work, just heads-down time with Claude. When you give people room to experiment, they come back sharper, find better processes they didn't know existed, and bring a new energy into everything they do. Building skills is part of the job here, not something squeezed in around it.

We're sponsoring Replay 2026, May 5-7, in San Francisco! 📣 Temporal's annual durable execution conference is where the people building production-grade AI systems show up to share what's working, from architecture patterns and failure-handling strategies to real-world agent deployments. That's exactly the conversations we want to be in. If you're attending, make sure to swing by our booth. We'd love to connect! hubs.li/Q04dxYZY0

Technology has always changed, but enterprises never felt the pressure to keep up. They were too big to fail, too entrenched to be overtaken. AI has ended that era. Liatrio is an AI-first enablement company. This is how we’ve been working internally, but we’re making sure everyone knows exactly where we stand. After a decade of helping some of the most complex enterprises move faster, we're making it publicly known: enablement is at the core of what we do, and AI is where that work matters most right now. We've always met enterprises at the frontier of what's next. We’ve spent 10 years equipping teams to work in new and innovative ways, and built the foundations that make these changes stick. With the age of AI, we have entered the most powerful, most urgent version of that work yet. The failure pattern is almost always the same: tools get bought before teams are ready, AI lands on top of processes that were already broken, and nothing moves. We've spent a decade helping organizations do the exact opposite. We build the platforms that make delivery coherent. We enable the people who have to operate differently. When fully embraced and properly enabled, AI has the power to unlock the full potential that enterprise teams have always possessed. Successful organizations won't be the ones who bought the most tools, but the ones who built the foundations to actually use them. We're here to build those foundations. Liatrio enables AI for your complex business. Get started on your AI journey at hubs.li/Q04d410P0.

Liatrio built something to get past the goal of "try AI." Forge is our internal program that provides weeks of real, hands-on practice until AI-native ways of working actually stick. What we're learning from our first cohorts: hubs.li/Q0495q8f0

If your AI agent keeps getting it wrong, what are you actually giving it to work with? Last week we broke down Spec-Driven Development - a workflow that makes AI engineering reliable before the first line of code gets written. Watch the recap: hubs.li/Q048wKTp0

70% of transformation efforts fail. 95% of organizations see zero ROI from GenAI. The problem isn't the technology, it's the outdated leadership mindset. Our new white paper, Lead the Change or Be Left Behind: The New Leadership Mandate, breaks down what separates the 5% who are winning. Read it here ➡️ hubs.li/Q047C9Lb0

Yesterday was International Women's Day, but the women at Liatrio show up 365 days a year. They ship platform migrations ahead of schedule, redesign workflows, and change the direction of our projects for the better. We don't just appreciate them on March 8th. Our team and our clients rely on their technical depth, sharp judgment, and ownership of the work we do. So today, and every day — thank you. 💚

Scott Howard went from app developer to DevOps engineer the moment he built his first pipeline and discovered IaC—and he hasn't looked back since. Now as a Lead Delivery Consultant at Liatrio, he brings that developer empathy to Fortune 500 transformations while coaching junior engineers and learning from seasoned pros in equal measure. What makes it meaningful? Knowing the work is part of something much bigger than any single engagement. When he's not reshaping how enterprises build software, you'll find him kayaking, reading Stephen King, or perfecting his Old Fashioned recipes. Scott embodies what we value most at Liatrio: growth through collaboration, owning your career journey, and bringing your whole self to the work that transforms our clients.

Limitless expansion is now just a push of a button. The hard part isn't just scaling... it's scaling well. Without resilient, repeatable foundations underneath it, every new region, every new capability, every new AI initiative inherits the same weaknesses you've been carrying. @b_l_ai_r explores what it really means to set the right north star for infrastructure resilience before the cracks start to show.
