What does enterprise AI actually look like in practice?

In this episode, Xiaofang and Paul speak with Candy Liu, Strategic Global Account Lead at Microsoft, about how large organisations are adopting AI in the real world.

From Microsoft Copilot and AI agents to hackathons, governance, and change management, Candy breaks down what works, what fails, and where businesses should start.

They discuss why AI adoption needs leadership support, how teams can use AI to improve productivity and reduce low-value admin, and why the best results come from focusing on high-impact use cases instead of trying to make everything “AI-first” at once.

The conversation also explores what smaller businesses can learn from enterprise teams, how finance and customer service functions are already benefiting from AI, and why the future of work will involve managing both human and digital resources.

A practical episode for anyone trying to use AI more effectively at work.

Paul Sutton talks to Robin Hart – a Principal in Charles River Associates’ Transfer Pricing Practice, based in the San Francisco Bay Area – about the current status of Amount B. With an expected start date of 1 January 2025, and many important factors still unclear, it is a very significant challenge for many multinationals.

Paul and Robin’s discussion covers:

• A recap of what Amount B is intended to achieve, and progress so far
• A summary of the current situation
• What we know at this time, and some very significant questions that are still unanswered
• The incentives for some countries not to adopt Amount B, and some of the practical consequences that might result
• How multinationals should already be preparing
• Some of the challenges for multinationals in implementing Amount B
• Possible longer-term developments, including the Amount B approach being extended to other transaction types
• Key takeaways for MNEs who are affected by these issues.
