    The pandemic changed the way we work forever, and now AI has entered the conversation as another new way to work. This podcast guides you through hybrid and remote work, and the amazing guests that are on each episode have taught me that AI isn’t something to be afraid of but rather something that can make us all more productive and happier at our jobs. Love the insights!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Andy Doyle: Let 15,000 agents bloom
Q: Did you have a business goal in mind when rolling out Copilot and building the agent ecosystem, or was this more exploratory and iterative?
It started as an exploratory experiment that expanded as mavericks in the organization demonstrated what could be done; over time it evolved into a formal, scalable program centered on people and agents working together.
Andy Doyle: Let 15,000 agents bloom
Q: And how do leaders should talk about the anxiety employees feel about their jobs changing with this technology?
Leaders should be honest about change, acknowledge the anxiety, and focus on enabling people with the right skills while being transparent about the evolving mix of human and agent work.
Allie K. Miller: Find your "weirdos"—and let them lead
Q: What is the role of leaders in this new era of AI?
Leaders must maintain a consistent vision, care about people, and push for speed of iteration while integrating AI into core workflows, rather than delegating all responsibility to a single AI officer.
Allie K. Miller: Find your "weirdos"—and let them lead
Q: How should an organization structure its AI initiatives?
Create a frontier unit that is cross-disciplinary, small, and tightly funded, reporting structures that enable fast decision-making while ensuring alignment with the broader company goals.
Allie K. Miller: Find your "weirdos"—and let them lead
Q: What keeps executives up at night when adopting AI at scale?
Executives fear missteps and job losses, so they seek a clear strategic context, faster iteration cycles, and careful budgeting that accounts for both cost control and measurable growth beyond productivity.
