The AI in Business Podcast

As enterprises move agentic AI from controlled pilots into production customer-facing workflows, the gaps in data continuity, governance, and human-agent coordination become the deciding factors in whether AI scales or stalls. In this episode, Shri Nandan, VP of AI Experiences at Comcast, examines why customer experience has become the real stress-test for enterprise AI — and what it takes to scale with customer trust intact. The conversation covers the three data foundations required for context continuity in production, practical principles for human-AI orchestration, and why cross-team governance — a single North Star across CX, IT, and operations — is what separates the organizations that scale from those that fragment.

The rising use of general‑purpose models in regulated environments is creating a widening gap between what AI can generate and what fiduciary professionals can safely rely on. In this episode, Steve Hasker, CEO at Thomson Reuters, examines how AI must be trained, validated, and governed to deliver the level of accuracy required in legal, tax, and audit workflows in conversation with host Dan Faggella, Emerj CEO and Head of Research. The discussion highlights the operational demands of vertical AI, the role of expert‑trained agents, and why human oversight remains essential in high‑stakes professional work.

Supply chain organizations still struggle to respond to major disruptions because their core planning systems can't evaluate structural options or network‑level changes at the speed required. In this episode, Joris Wijpkema, Executive Vice President for Solutions and Strategy at Optilogic, joins host Marilie Fouché and examines how a dedicated, high‑compute modeling layer enables teams to run thousands of scenarios in minutes and make faster, better‑aligned decisions. The discussion highlights how leaders can strengthen resilience by unifying data foundations, building trust in modeling before a crisis, and integrating design‑grade optimization directly into planning cycles.

Fixing the Decision Speed Gap in Modern Supply Chains - with Joris Wijpkema of Optilogic

Enterprise AI investments frequently succeed at the pilot stage and collapse at scale, not because the technology fails, but because the organizational conditions for adoption were never established. In this episode, Darko Todorovic, CTO at HTEC Group, examines why most AI ROI gaps originate in poor problem definition and inadequate change management, and outlines how senior leaders can build the baselines, KPIs, and organizational readiness needed to measure and sustain real returns. The conversation covers practical guidance on assessing technological and organizational maturity, avoiding POC-to-production pitfalls, and selecting the right AI tools for specific business contexts. This episode is sponsored by HTEC. In this episode we cover how enterprise leaders can measure and prove AI ROI after deployment.

How Enterprise Leaders Should Measure the ROI of AI - with Darko Todorovic of HTEC

Pharma commercial teams are generating more data than ever, but field intelligence is still arriving too late to change rep behavior before the engagement window closes. In this episode, Damion Nero, Global Head of Statistics at Daiichi Sankyo, joins Emerj editor Yolandi de Weerdt to examine why fragmented data pipelines, not a shortage of data, are the structural root of the gap between commercial insight and field execution. The conversation covers what separates teams that successfully adopt AI from those stuck in the pilot phase, and why starting with routine, high-certainty use cases consistently produces more commercial lift than chasing ambitious automation. This episode is sponsored by ODAIA. Learn how leading organizations approach AI investment more like a venture portfolio, and why interdisciplinary collaboration is critical to defining the right data for AI success.

Modernizing Targeting to Close the Field Execution Gap - with Damion Nero of Daiichi Sankyo

Enterprise AI agents fail consistently in production, not because of model limitations, but because they lack a live, temporally aware context layer grounded in the actual current state of the business. In this episode, Ravi Marwaha, Chief Operating Officer & Chief Technology Product Officer at Arango, explores how treating context as infrastructure—rather than a data pipeline problem—enables agents to reason accurately, explain their decisions, and deliver measurable outcomes across customer support, semiconductor engineering, and clinical trial site selection. The discussion covers five practical frameworks for CIOs and chief data officers on building real-time, explainable context layers on top of existing enterprise systems, without ripping and replacing current infrastructure.

How Unified Context Turns AI Into Real Enterprise Performance - with Ravi Marwaha of Arango

Enterprise leaders face a growing gap between rapid AI advancement and the fragmented data and processes that limit their ability to operationalize it. In this episode, Guillermo Vazquez, Chief Architect in the Business Transformation Services for SAP America, examines with host Nick Gersch how harmonized data, standardized processes, and clear identification of differentiating workflows form the groundwork for effective AI‑enabled ERP. He highlights the practical sequence for building this foundation so future AI‑driven adaptation becomes seamless rather than disruptive.

AI Models as a Commodity and Why Data Foundations Decide Who Wins - with Guillermo B. Vazquez of SAP

Regulatory volatility, scientific‑grade context requirements, and entrenched legacy processes are creating a level of operational complexity in pharma that makes even high‑value AI initiatives difficult to move from concept to production. In this episode, Art Shectman, CEO at Elephant Ventures, examines with host Marilie Fouché how leaders can cut through that complexity by isolating a single, clearly defined workflow slice and rebuilding it for near‑term, dependable deployment rather than long‑range architectural perfection. The discussion highlights how removing outdated process assumptions, selecting an atomic workflow with organizational alignment, and aiming for a contained operational win enable pharma teams to build momentum and scale AI responsibly in highly regulated environments. Learn how consultants are winning business with evidence-based AI ROI and building long-term capabilities instead of chasing short-term gains.

From Overwhelm to Working AI in Pharma and Life Sciences - with Art Shectman of Elephant Ventures

Individual AI productivity gains are already here, but they are uneven, and they are not the main event. In this episode, Tim Sears, Chief AI Officer at HTEC, argues that the real transformation in software development will arrive when AI becomes a catalyst for teamwork rather than an enhancer of individual performance. The conversation examines why software development is the clearest available model for how AI will eventually reshape every business function, how the developer role is being elevated from syntax and grunt work toward architecture, security, and client judgment, why the traditional build-versus-buy decision is being replaced by a build-versus-build reality, and what it will mean when perfection in enterprise software becomes the expected standard rather than the exception. For senior leaders trying to move from supporting AI in principle to actually delivering change, Sears offers a direct and practitioner-grounded view of what needs to change in teams, in expectations, and in the way business processes are understood and redesigned. AI is moving fast — new tools, new research, new use cases every week. Emerj synthesizes what matters most, so senior leaders and practitioners can stay ahead without getting buried.

How AI Is Reshaping the Way Enterprises Build Software - With Tim Sears of HTEC

The skilled labor crisis in industrial equipment service is not a future problem; it is eroding operational performance now, as retiring engineers take decades of institutional knowledge with them and incoming technicians cannot fill the gap at speed. In this episode, Mike Hughes, Group Service Director at Peak International Group, outlines how service organizations can close the expertise gap through smarter knowledge capture, targeted AI deployment, and a frontline-first approach to modernization. The conversation covers remote diagnostics, first-time fix performance, the realities of working with imperfect data, and the two or three use cases leaders should prioritize before attempting a broader transformation.
