In this special episode of AI Today, recorded live at Agile2025, hosts Kathleen Walch and Avinash Dhanraj sit down with Agile Manifesto co-author and Agile pioneer Jim Highsmith to explore the intersection of AI and agility in the enterprise.

This episode kicks off the AI Today Agile & AI mini-series, focusing on how organizations can stay adaptive in an era of rapid technological change. Jim shares insights from decades of leadership at the forefront of agile, what it means to “manage both people and bots,” and why the next generation of enterprise agility needs to evolve beyond prescriptive frameworks.

Tune in to hear about:

• The evolving meaning of “enterprise agility” in the age of AI
• Why “individuals and interactions over processes and tools” still holds true—with a twist
• The critical difference between adaptive and prescriptive agility
• How AI reshapes collaboration, measurement, and leadership responsibilities
• The role of storytelling and inspiration in successful transformation

Whether you're a seasoned agile coach, project or program manager, transformation leader, or navigating the complexities of implementing AI, this conversation delivers wisdom, caution, and inspiration in equal measure.

In this episode of AI Today, host Kathleen Walch, Director, AI Engagement and Community at PMI, continues the AI in Healthcare mini-series, produced in partnership by PMI and the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). Kathleen sits down with Dr. Lukasz Kowalcyzk, a practicing gastroenterologist and seasoned Healthtech advisor, to explore how AI can meaningfully support operational efficiency, clinical decision-making, and healthcare equity.

Tune in to learn how AI is advancing healthcare through:

• Automating surgical scheduling by embedding clinical intelligence into workflows, helping schedulers deliver safer and more consistent care instructions
• Empowering under-resourced staff through AI-enabled decision support, boosting the performance of surgical schedulers without requiring high medical literacy
• Navigating AI deployment challenges—from lack of data access to user adoption—and designing around real-world constraints in community and rural care settings
• Building trust and clinical adoption by deeply understanding user workflows, embedding human-in-the-loop systems, and preserving physician autonomy in decision-making
• Moving beyond pilot purgatory by prioritizing early wins, cross-functional buy-in, and practical tools designed for low-data-maturity environments

Dr. Kowalcyzk also reflects on lessons learned from building and selling AI-enabled platforms, his experience in the Mayo Clinic AI Accelerator, and the importance of designing for both people and processes—not just technology.

Whether you're a healthcare leader, project manager, or curious observer, this episode offers practical, hopeful, and forward-looking insights on building AI-enabled healthcare systems with empathy and vision.

In this episode of AI Today, host Kathleen Walch, Director, AI Engagement and Community, PMI, continues the AI in Healthcare mini-series, produced in partnership by PMI and Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS). Today, Kathleen sits down with Dr. Reza Ryan Sadeghian, System Chief Medical Information Officer at University of Toledo Health. Dr. Sadeghian is also PMP-certified. Tune in to learn how AI is revolutionizing healthcare delivery through:

• Combat physician burnout with 45+ specialty-specific GPT applications that reduce documentation time while improving clinical quality and consistency
• Transform clinical workflows with patient-centered AI tools for pediatric care, infectious disease diagnosis, and medical education feedback
• Implement robust AI governance through layered oversight, human-in-the-loop design, and continuous validation with bias testing
• Build clinician trust by involving healthcare providers in shaping AI tools rather than imposing rigid pathways, respecting clinical judgment while augmenting decision-making
• Embed AI as infrastructure rather than standalone tools, treating AI initiatives with the same governance rigor as clinical interventions

Dr. Sadeghian also discusses the shift from digitization to digital transformation and how organizations can responsibly deploy AI while maintaining patient-centered care.
