The conversation around AI in enterprise has shifted: The question is no longer whether AI will transform your business, it's whether your organisation is structured to let it.

Our CEO, Alan Paton, joined Alex Kantrowitz of Big Technology to discuss what's really driving and blocking AI adoption at scale, covering everything from legacy infrastructure to organisational politics to the generation of AI-native talent now entering the workforce.

The interview is a must-watch for anyone leading or influencing technology decisions in your organisation right now.
