  • I don't understand why you sound like you're in empty rooms, so hollow and echoing. As serious podcasters I thought you could easily put something on the walls to absorb the echos.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

If Your AI Agent Goes Wrong, Whose Name Is On It?
Q: How does an organization create the environment to try and mitigate those potential risks that they're facing?
Murray recommends visibility into agents, data, system access, and automated actions, alongside secure sandboxes, training, pre-approved models, and smooth governance processes that encourage responsible innovation.
If Your AI Agent Goes Wrong, Whose Name Is On It?
Q: From your perspective, what would you say the main barriers to achieving ROI are?
Murray says organizations often start with the technology instead of a defined business problem, lack baselines and clear ownership, and fail to account for governance and the full costs of deployment.
Drink Your Own Champagne, But Don’t Drink Alone
Q: What do you think the wider tech market might learn from what you see going on amongst your customer base as they approach that transformation challenge?
Nuij recommends applying automation internally first, but says organizations should run customer zero and customer one simultaneously by testing with their own team and learning alongside a friendly customer.
Drink Your Own Champagne, But Don’t Drink Alone
Q: How do we make sure that AI roles are accessible to people when the roles being displaced do not necessarily equip people for the new roles the industry needs?
Nuij says MSPs need people who can discuss business processes, outcomes, and efficiency with customers, but transformation consultants are scarce and expensive. He also notes that SMBs often want to do more work with their existing staff rather than reduce headcount.
Is the Person You Hired Actually the One Doing the Work?
Q: What doesn't get discussed?
Murray says industry conversations often omit where AI projects have failed, the investment and spending involved, and whether the results are measurable. He favors candid discussion in smaller peer groups and says AI work requires experimentation and realistic expectations.
