Is your AI strategy built for sustainable impact—or stuck chasing the next big trend?

In this episode, host Andreas Welsch welcomes enterprise tech analyst Jon Reed for a candid discussion on what’s actually happening with AI agents in business today. Drawing from recent enterprise conferences and frontline conversations, Jon shares hard-won insights into what works, what doesn’t, and why so many AI projects still fail to deliver meaningful outcomes.

Discover the foundational shifts organizations must make to move beyond pilots and hype cycles:

• Focus on AI readiness over AI-first: Learn why leading with experimentation, not mandates, sets the stage for responsible and scalable AI adoption.
• Build a culture of trust, not fear: Understand how shadow AI is spreading—and how safe sandboxes and clear communication can turn experimentation into impact.
• Prioritize business outcomes, not abstract autonomy: Explore how hybrid agent-human designs deliver ROI faster than full automation—and why “good enough” might be good enough to start.
• Treat AI like a data project: From agent performance measurement to governance protocols, hear why the enterprise AI stack demands more than plugging in a model.

Whether you’re a CIO navigating vendor noise, a business leader seeking ROI, or a transformation leader building internal alignment—this episode delivers grounded strategies and real-world guidance for leading in the era of Agentic AI.

Tune in now to explore what it takes to make AI both productive and practical in the enterprise.
