Beyond Copilot- How to Make AI Transformation Actually Stick with Femke Cornelissen [MVP]
Artificial Intelligence is transforming the workplace faster than any previous technology wave. Yet despite massive investments in Microsoft 365 Copilot, AI agents, and automation, many organizations still struggle to create measurable business value. Technology itself is rarely the problem. The real challenge lies in leadership, culture, governance, and redesigning the way people work. In this episode of M365.fm, Mirko Peters welcomes Femke Cornelissen [MVP], Chief Technology Transformation Officer at Wortell and one of the Netherlands' most influential voices in Microsoft AI transformation. Femke shares practical insights from helping organizations move beyond AI experimentation into sustainable business transformation powered by Microsoft technologies.
WHY AI TRANSFORMATION STARTS WITH PEOPLE, NOT TECHNOLOGY
Many companies believe AI transformation begins with deploying Microsoft Copilot or building custom AI agents. Femke argues that this mindset is fundamentally flawed. Successful transformation starts with people, leadership, organizational culture, and a clear business strategy. Organizations often allow every employee to build personal AI workflows independently. While experimentation is valuable, it can quickly lead to disconnected solutions, duplicated work, inconsistent governance, and little measurable business impact. Instead, organizations need a shared vision that aligns AI initiatives with strategic business outcomes and creates collaboration rather than isolated innovation.
FROM COPILOT TO ENTERPRISE AI STRATEGY
A recurring theme throughout the discussion is that Copilot should never be viewed as simply another productivity tool. Instead, it should become the foundation for redesigning business processes across departments. Femke explains how executive leadership must define clear business objectives while cross-functional AI transformation teams translate those goals into practical initiatives. CEOs, CTOs, transformation leaders, security teams, and business units all need to collaborate to prioritize the highest-value AI opportunities. Rather than asking employees to "use AI," organizations should define where AI creates competitive advantage, establish governance policies, identify responsible owners for AI agents, and continuously measure business outcomes instead of focusing solely on technology adoption.
GOVERNANCE, OWNERSHIP, AND WHY AI AGENTS NEED MAINTENANCE
One of the biggest hidden challenges in enterprise AI is ownership. Many organizations already have hundreds or even thousands of AI agents created by employees, yet very few have clearly assigned owners responsible for maintaining them. Femke explains that every AI solution requires ongoing governance. Data must remain accurate, prompts need continuous improvement, business processes evolve, and AI agents must evolve alongside them. Without clear ownership, AI quickly becomes outdated and unreliable. Organizations therefore need policies covering lifecycle management, data governance, responsible AI practices, security, transparency, and long-term maintenance if they want AI investments to continue delivering value.
WHY CHANGE MANAGEMENT MATTERS MORE THAN EVER
Traditional change management focused on introducing new software. AI changes something much bigger: how work itself gets done. Employees naturally worry about job security, changing responsibilities, and the unknown. Femke believes these concerns can only be addressed through transparency, communication, and involvement. Leaders should actively encourage experimentation while clearly explaining governance, acceptable AI usage, security boundaries, and the organization's long-term strategy. When employees understand how AI enhances their work rather than replacing them, adoption accelerates and innovation flourishes across the organization.
HOW FEMKE USES MICROSOFT COPILOT EVERY DAY
Femke also shares practical examples from her own workflow. Microsoft Copilot has become the starting point for virtually every working day. Meeting transcripts automatically generate prioritized task lists, AI organizes follow-up actions around upcoming vacations, customer conversations become executive summaries, marketing content, sales recommendations, and internal communications—all from a single meeting. Instead of treating AI as a standalone assistant, she uses Copilot as an orchestration layer that connects workflows across multiple teams, dramatically increasing productivity while reducing repetitive administrative work.
THE FUTURE OF AI-POWERED WORK
Looking ahead, Femke predicts that organizations will move beyond isolated AI assistants toward connected ecosystems of collaborating AI agents. Meetings will increasingly trigger automated workflows, proposals will draft themselves, CRM systems will proactively generate recommendations, and employees will spend less time managing tools and more time making strategic decisions. The organizations that succeed won't necessarily have the most AI tools—they'll be the ones that redesign their business processes around AI while maintaining strong governance, leadership, and human collaboration.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
This conversation offers valuable insights for IT leaders, Microsoft 365 administrators, digital transformation professionals, Copilot champions, business executives, and anyone responsible for introducing AI into the workplace. If you're looking to move beyond Copilot licenses and build an AI strategy that actually transforms how your organization works, this episode delivers practical advice grounded in real enterprise experience. Whether you're planning your first Microsoft Copilot rollout, scaling AI agents across departments, or defining governance for enterprise AI, Femke Cornelissen shares a roadmap for turning AI adoption into lasting business transformation.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,440
Yeah, I come back to the M365F and podcast where we explore Microsoft's 65 AI co-pilot digital
2
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,800
transformation and the people sharing the future of work.
3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:17,560
Today's guest believes something many organizations still struggle to understand digital transformation
4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:23,640
isn't about deploying technology, it's about changing how people work.
5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:25,640
Joining us today is theme co-cursor.
6
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:31,360
We've technology transformation officer at Wontell, one of Netherlands leading Microsoft
7
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:32,360
partners.
8
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:37,400
And also I have reached the second influential woman in tech.
9
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,480
Yeah, it's taking so much, yeah, that's true.
10
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:51,000
Yeah, I think every day, Facebook and work with the organization looking to move beyond
11
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,600
simple rolling out Microsoft 65 or co-pilot and Steve, she helps them redesign work itself,
12
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,600
aligning people, leadership, culture and technology to creating listing transformation.
13
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:08,000
Today we'll explore AI adoption, Microsoft co-pilot, change management, organization, behavior,
14
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,600
leadership, and why successful transformation, start with people, not platforms.
15
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:12,600
Yeah, thank you.
16
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,600
Welcome to the M365F and podcast.
17
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,600
Hi, thank you so much.
18
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:22,200
For this script in the beginning, but yeah, thanks for having me.
19
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,040
I'm really excited to be here and thanks for the advice and well, what an introduction.
20
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,760
It was a long introduction.
21
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:34,200
Yeah, you have done so much.
22
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:44,080
So can you tell us about your journey, how we can do seconds influential woman in tech and
23
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:50,080
especially what was the Microsoft ecosystem to do with it?
24
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:52,880
Yeah, well, it's interesting.
25
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,080
Well, I really like sharing knowledge.
26
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:02,720
I think the same as you, but a lot of the community with nice is your knowledge around M365
27
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,520
and everything was new, but also what we're learning from building and creating.
28
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,760
So I am now 12 years in Microsoft space.
29
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,720
I started as a market here in tech company.
30
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,360
So a really different part, really interesting to start in marketing and then actually doing
31
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:26,840
different kind of roles from sales to also some technical roles as in share of Portland
32
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:34,800
sales and but also migration, consultants, I did some developments as well.
33
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:40,840
So it's interesting to look in the kitchen in different areas in tech company.
34
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:45,720
But what I really like the most is what have I learned and when I'm talking a lot with different
35
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:52,280
kind of customers, it always was things that I've I have seen in more customers at the same
36
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,240
questions and then I started to create content around it.
37
00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,240
I need to say in the beginning, it was really scared doing that because I always think I'm
38
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:07,120
the only one who are going to read it and I need to say in the beginning, it was the only
39
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,760
one who read it was sometimes myself.
40
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:18,200
But by starting creating, doing even more sharing my knowledge, sharing what I think about
41
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:23,480
some solutions and why I think it's good but also why it's not good.
42
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,520
Yeah, it grows really fast.
43
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,760
And now, yeah, years later, I think almost like three or four years later, before I really
44
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,440
started with doing that kind of things.
45
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,560
It's exploding.
46
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,200
And that's really nice because I think it's really good that you are not based in one area
47
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,840
that you have seen a lot of things learned from a lot of different kind of backgrounds
48
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:51,600
that I had, not only in tech, but also as a photograph or my own business years before
49
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,600
that.
50
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:59,440
And you have a different kind of field than a lot of people normally see in organizations.
51
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,440
So it's nice.
52
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,800
And I think that everything coming together, like storytelling, making pictures around it,
53
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:12,360
but also sharing what I see in the markets and what is actually changing in the market right
54
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:13,360
now.
55
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,800
And well, I like to zoom in, but also like to zoom out.
56
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,800
And I think that's not, wow, I think a lot of people try to do it, but it's not always that
57
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,960
everyone can do and seeing it.
58
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,640
So, yeah, I think that's my impression.
59
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Yeah, I see also you are often on conferences, on podcasts, live streams, on podcasts,
60
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:40,160
on, and you do a lot of content creation.
61
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,520
And you also be the chief transformation officer at Vortel.
62
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:57,520
So how do you, yeah, do you do your normally day looks like, or in the more, yeah, well, my
63
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:03,400
day looks like, well, I wake up and say, hey, this is so funny, my day looks like, oh, I think
64
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,400
a lot of people are thinking that I absolutely, what do you say, like going to conferences
65
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,680
speak a lot and creating a lot of concerts or anything, but well, that's more hobby, I would
66
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,680
say.
67
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,280
Of course, I get the support for the company that I work for, that they support me to do that,
68
00:05:19,280 --> 00:05:25,400
but it's, it's, it's a hobby and it's not my actual real job.
69
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:29,400
I think sometimes I get some time for it.
70
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:35,720
I'm just, like, like, now we doing this podcast, but, yeah, my, my real day looked like they're
71
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,720
really different.
72
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:42,240
So I, I am, if the people don't know, we had a chief transformation officer at Vortel, and
73
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,240
that means that I am transforming our, our, our own organization.
74
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:55,080
So we're doing is, as every organization, we focusing on, on AI.
75
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,120
And what does it think we see now in, in our organization?
76
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:04,440
So a lot of people exploring AI and using AI in different kind of ways, even in a technology
77
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:09,920
company, but my role is, what is the strategy of the organization and how can we translate
78
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:16,040
strategy in the, different kind of AI initiative that we have and are we doing the right things
79
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:21,280
at the right moment because now, AI, we can solve everything, we think and we think everything
80
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:23,080
have priority.
81
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,840
So doing the right things with the right people, making the best results, that's my role.
82
00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:36,440
Yeah, so, so you, you are not purely in technology in, in your role, you are also as the organization
83
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:37,440
or transformation.
84
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:38,440
Yeah.
85
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:43,320
So I'm not, I'm going to build anything by myself at the moment.
86
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,360
So that's, that's not what I'm doing.
87
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:54,760
I'm having a team who are doing communication adoption, but as well, creating at the agents
88
00:06:54,760 --> 00:07:01,640
or supporting people to create by themselves, but I'm supposed to offer that away.
89
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:10,760
And, and, and when you look a little bit back, what experience, your, your leadership style?
90
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:18,840
I really like that people are like being really innovative by themselves and I also like that
91
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:24,920
people are, well, people on different kind of teams, they have the knowledge.
92
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,320
I can say to you, okay, you need to do this on this way and your process is changing and
93
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,120
this is the way you need to work now.
94
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:38,040
But it's way better to have people around you who have the actually reading on it so about
95
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,120
that, that, that area.
96
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:47,200
So it's good to let them be the one who are responsible for the ages that we create, but
97
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:53,880
also responsible for the, for the process that we are redesigning and that they are being
98
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:54,880
a part of that.
99
00:07:54,880 --> 00:08:00,120
So it's interesting as, as you think about leadership style, it's interesting to show them
100
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,480
what we want to go.
101
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,840
But let them think how we can solve that and how we, how we come there.
102
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,600
And that's saying, okay, from day one, this is what we build.
103
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,600
And now is this the new way of working?
104
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,640
I don't think that's, that's, that's, that's all work.
105
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:21,880
And actually we, we see now, I say to a lot of people, we're living in a sort of popcorn
106
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,160
machine, everything changing all the time.
107
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:31,200
And what we build today, tomorrow can be like way different because of our new solutions
108
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:38,160
out or things that happening that we are building already that Microsoft brings now as, as
109
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,240
a stand that or brings us out of the books, you just don't like that.
110
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:49,200
So we're living in a world that we need to understand that all the AI tools are changing,
111
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:57,200
the alarm changing, the skills that we make need to change, the, but as well, the solutions
112
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,720
that we build that everyone is building the same kind of solution.
113
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:06,400
So the other thing is as well, we need to think about who are ES and organization.
114
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:13,040
The way thing that we, that is really, is interesting is that we are as an organization,
115
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,360
what is our strategy around it?
116
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:22,320
And how can AI add on helping to get that, get that done?
117
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:30,560
Yeah, when, when I look so, so many companies have invested millions in, in Microsoft 65 and
118
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:36,960
that I, and yeah, they, yeah, I think they have a little bit stril to realize the business
119
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,960
well.
120
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,160
You, why, why not?
121
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,160
Yeah.
122
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,040
Why so many translation projects fail from your perspective?
123
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,600
Yeah, that's really interesting.
124
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:53,000
I think because everyone is creating their own way of working.
125
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,840
So if you don't have any strategy, no one absolutely know what you are doing.
126
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:07,840
And as I said, I think everyone can create their own way of working like from personal perspective.
127
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,240
So you can do it in your co-pilot or your co-work or even maybe in clause.
128
00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:18,200
I don't know what you're using, but everyone is creating their own personal productivity
129
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,320
that not, maybe not need to be a personal productivity thing.
130
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,120
It needs to be, for example, like a team way of working.
131
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,200
So you need to create an agent for it in, for example, co-pilot studio or in FoundV.
132
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,880
So why you don't have business value is because everyone is creating their own way.
133
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,200
You don't have any synergy in your organization in your way of working.
134
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,800
So you want is you want to have like a data platform with the right data on it that people
135
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,200
can build on the same data platform.
136
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,000
And that there is synergy from what these people is doing and these people, there is actually
137
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,560
matching with each other and can come back with feedback and make your company even
138
00:10:54,560 --> 00:10:58,680
better on the other way around or all the people that are there.
139
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:03,280
So what you're seeing is, first of all, you had a process with a lot of people there, but
140
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,480
now you're going to see that AI is evolving and that and everyone is doing that by
141
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:12,440
them say, if you need to redesign your organization and that's not easy, sometimes this year to
142
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:17,320
create a new organization and build it from scratch, then redesigning an organization
143
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,800
that people in it will know really good how it needs to be.
144
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:26,360
And I think that's the best way that they do it and it will be inspired about what are
145
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:29,120
the possibilities for my AI as well.
146
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:36,800
And how, yeah, I would say they have the different ways to work all the people, but how can
147
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:42,880
you put this in a strategy that creates the value?
148
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:44,200
What's your tips here?
149
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:48,120
Yeah, from my perspective, it's always start with the CEO Saturday.
150
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:49,360
This is the way to go.
151
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,360
This is important for our organization.
152
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,920
This is where we're going to.
153
00:11:52,920 --> 00:12:00,000
And then you need to think about an AI console or an AI team that says, okay, when we have
154
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,240
from the CEO, this is the way to go.
155
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,680
What are the initiatives that we are one of the teams that we need to focus in right now
156
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,160
to get there?
157
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:15,000
So you put the CTO, the C-H-R-O, G transformation of course, and the CEO together in one room,
158
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:22,880
and you have like every week a discussion about what is to that solution and what are you,
159
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,960
how do you get the best opportunities there?
160
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:34,880
Then you have an transformation team that can be an team that you, an actual, not really
161
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,400
an actual team, but you can have like a virtual team that you create there.
162
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,840
But people are actually really in a job.
163
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:47,160
We say, okay, you're helping with the adoption, with the communication, you help with building,
164
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:52,280
you are helping with the different kind of projects that we want to launch and you give
165
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,520
people their response, we're going to be there as well.
166
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:01,520
You can think about having in every team that you have, that you make one person responsible
167
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:07,480
as well for the transformation because, well, it's really good to have people there.
168
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,560
You are not, you cannot do anything, everything at the same time.
169
00:13:11,560 --> 00:13:17,400
So let's go to have more people in everything that are there as well responsible for picking
170
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:25,160
up the rights or opportunities that are aligning with the strategy that you have as an organization.
171
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,840
And your whole organization needs to know what the strategy is.
172
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:35,240
And we can say that everyone knows that, but I can give you on a favor, the thing that
173
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:42,680
most of the organizations don't really, well, from leadership perspective they know.
174
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:48,800
But if you, yeah, when you have everything aligned there, then you're going to start with
175
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:56,520
training and adoption and saying, okay, this is how you can build your own agents.
176
00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,800
But this is also the policy that we have as an organization and this is how we see this
177
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,440
from security wise.
178
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,240
And then you also go to see that people are going to change in their role.
179
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,760
And let's where to see a role, role is really important because you get people who are going
180
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:18,320
to be the owner of the agents from not only the agents that then need to make it even better
181
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:23,400
and get better responses, but also that the data is always up to date.
182
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:29,600
And a lot of people are planning that part, so they're creating a, just for themselves,
183
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:34,840
but it's probably for a team creating their own number.
184
00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:39,280
And the role was actually not changing because, well, they make something and it changes
185
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:44,000
with the organization and then it's, okay, oh, we can all use it, but well, that we need
186
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,360
to update the data and get better results.
187
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,520
No one is doing that.
188
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:55,960
So it's, I think, a really interesting way to think about from strategy to have a team
189
00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,280
to say, okay, this is the first few use cases that we need to pick to have a transformation
190
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,280
team.
191
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:08,760
Well, by what adoption and creating everything would also get your team on board from no organization
192
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,680
side.
193
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:12,680
And success stories.
194
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,680
It's also needed.
195
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,520
We have some success stories to get other people involved.
196
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,880
And one of the things that I have learned, so I learned and talk about it.
197
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,800
One of the things that I have learned is that everyone wants to create something and
198
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:25,800
wants to do something.
199
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:33,280
So how can you keep your people really still creating, being innovative, don't stop because
200
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,360
you're saying, okay, it needs to be come from the upside.
201
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:45,840
You also have to from, from, from themselves to up that people still can create things and
202
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:50,880
that it's not stopping and liking it and saying, okay, I don't know if I'm still can make
203
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:51,880
my own agents.
204
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:59,120
So yeah, good policies and round is everyone knows where it stands, who is responsible.
205
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:05,000
And if I'm creating an organogram with agents and people, so make it really visible.
206
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,600
And I need to say I'm not that far yet, but we are exploring death now.
207
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,600
Yeah.
208
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,800
Has AI fundamentally changed change management?
209
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,040
What do you see?
210
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:24,960
Yes, change management is absolutely neat is and and I think not it's a cool turkey.
211
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,040
I think it's more culture thing than it's technology.
212
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:36,400
So the culture thing is is that that's the mindset needs to change.
213
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:41,960
And the mindset is the process that that people understand that we can add on everything
214
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:43,160
that we want to do.
215
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:48,320
And if you really have real value, then we are back why are we don't kind of value is that
216
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,280
you need to design your organization.
217
00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:56,240
It absolutely needs if you want to get at want to stay in front, you need to redesign.
218
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,000
Interesting.
219
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:09,040
Can what, what, what, what, what, what thing you why do employees resist new technology?
220
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:15,200
Well, I think a lot of people don't know what you can do and also are scared, I think that
221
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:22,640
it will take over the job or that everything will change or that, well, of course, everything
222
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,640
will change.
223
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,960
But I think a lot of people don't actually know what's happening with their own role.
224
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:36,080
So it's good to involve them and let them see what it actually do for them.
225
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:42,240
And set off, okay, this is, you are always going, is going away and well, the agents take
226
00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:47,600
up or I don't believe that I think we're going to create even more roles.
227
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,960
And if people really click in and see, okay, but this is now that I don't have to do anymore
228
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,760
with a lot of administration tasks, something like that, but I can even give more as vice
229
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,640
of our customers, for example, and being more present when I'm there, then people will
230
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:03,640
see it.
231
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,240
Yeah, interesting.
232
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:15,600
What did you think, what's the biggest culture by year we have actually companies?
233
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,600
The culture, what do you say, sorry.
234
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,480
The culture barriers, the biggest.
235
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:31,040
Yeah, now I think what we see at customer as well is I think also leadership is changing.
236
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:40,480
It's, it's an interesting thing to think about that, for example, you always have on Friday
237
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:46,120
doing a report and giving updates and saying how it's going in organization.
238
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:54,080
You have middlemanishments who are saying to the people how they were reporting as well.
239
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:58,760
So a lot of things on the reporting side, but as well, that people need to learn that they
240
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:03,040
have their people and their agents that they need to work together and that these things
241
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,760
are changing from that perspective.
242
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,760
That's a culture barrier.
243
00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:16,120
I take a lot of people don't understand that we need to, the dual quality and the people
244
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:25,640
are even more important and that the task and all that kind of ways will change with,
245
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:30,720
in a right way, with the agents there.
246
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:43,760
I think a little bit, when we have all these, yeah, the leaders, they have self changed
247
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:50,240
their, seeing changed their rules, but they also have the job to trust around the AI.
248
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:57,080
How should leader do this, how they can go trust?
249
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,720
Yeah, that's a really good question.
250
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:08,360
I think when you want to build trust, you need to share where you want to go as an organization,
251
00:20:08,360 --> 00:20:13,960
but also ask people to think with them.
252
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:20,200
So ask them how to solve it, what are the best, what are the opportunities that we have
253
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,120
with AI.
254
00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:30,720
And trust is as well, I think when people are using AI, they need to understand why am I
255
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,120
using in this system?
256
00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:34,960
Is it secure?
257
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:40,960
Well, all that kind of thing, so I think that's really important.
258
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,680
And I think you need to make like a framework for the organization.
259
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:50,360
So a framework in this is, for example, personal productivity, this is what you can do in
260
00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:53,040
it, this is the standard of our organization.
261
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,360
For instance, what are you doing with our data?
262
00:20:56,360 --> 00:21:01,160
Be clearer about it, what kind of data you can share and what kind of AI to.
263
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:06,480
And what is the thing that you could open and what is the thing that people have no idea
264
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:07,480
right?
265
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:12,680
And I'm saying everyone would understand it, but it's not everyone is doing their own way.
266
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:18,280
If you close it, people will find a way in other AI tools because they think, well, I can
267
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,040
buy it by myself.
268
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,040
So can you build trust?
269
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:25,600
Is it clear and what you want?
270
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:26,600
What you don't want?
271
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:32,480
And what is the right way to use for your organization, but also business, productivity
272
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:34,680
or personal productivity, I would say?
273
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:42,440
Team AI, we are talking more about, for example, co-pilot studio, building your agents for your
274
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:45,720
team, but also enterprise AI.
275
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,880
You can think about the solutions that you want to sell to your customers or AI solutions
276
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,960
that you are building or the gold mine of your gold that you say, okay, this is something
277
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,600
that we want to create from enterprise perspective.
278
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,480
And there is no owner there, but well, this is something that we're building by yourself
279
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:11,040
and you can put out collecting or get your information out of it for this kind of people.
280
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:19,880
So it's interesting to think about that, to give clear instructions and I think that will
281
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,880
help.
282
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:31,400
So you think you have to give clear instructions, so what did you think about the people
283
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,080
do experimentation with AI?
284
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:36,080
I think that's good.
285
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,920
I think as well everyone needs to experiment to understand what it can be.
286
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:48,240
So you need to know in what kind of tool and what is allowed and what is not allowed.
287
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:56,160
So I think, well, let's say like co-pilot versus co-work, co-work right now at the moment
288
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,400
is, hey, as you go, we all know that.
289
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:04,160
So if you go into experiments in co-work, you will get to build.
290
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:14,040
So you can also create a skill or learning in co-pilot to create the right skill for example
291
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,040
in co-work.
292
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:20,720
So you go into buildings, you go into create is, you go into talk with co-pilot, it doesn't
293
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,440
cost you any cost anymore and then you create it with your co-work.
294
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:31,200
So everything in use co-work that you have the right skill in that your cost is not that high
295
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,440
instead of experimenting, making better.
296
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,840
So we really need to learn where we need to do that.
297
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,960
For example, as well with creating, when I'm talking about personal productivity even with
298
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:46,760
creating for example, and power points, yeah, it's really easy to say to co-work, this is
299
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:48,760
my transcript, create power points.
300
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,280
Well, that cost you $25 or $30.
301
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:58,000
I don't know, actually something just how big it is and how many data you put in, but you
302
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:04,520
also can think about, I can upload it in my power points, in my uploaded transcripts and
303
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:07,400
saved for the day today, then it's cost you nothing.
304
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:16,840
So it's a way of working by learning where to your experiments, it would also be open
305
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:25,440
and mind it in what other opportunities and there is an adoption or something valuable.
306
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,240
And I think culture is also something that needs to be involved there, right?
307
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:35,280
Because if you get the opportunity, experiments, be an experimental organization, I think that
308
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,800
will help you.
309
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:43,560
You can learn, or you can fall, and you can learn from the mistakes you make.
310
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:50,800
And when, what did you think how does the future of workplace look like?
311
00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:57,400
Yeah, oh, I think all the solutions that we are building now at the moment, but each other,
312
00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:02,520
that everyone can build that, not everything will have their solutions one day.
313
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:08,760
So everything that we think that we are unique now, probably in the upcoming years, no one
314
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,160
is very unique, but it's a time now.
315
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:20,680
And I think the difference will be, we're thinking about who you are as an organization and
316
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,720
being your strengths in there.
317
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,680
So that you make the difference with the people who are there and actually just trying to
318
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:27,680
do that.
319
00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:36,360
You have a round AI and not only doing things faster, but also who are you as a brands?
320
00:25:36,360 --> 00:25:42,360
And what is the difference between other companies, building the same solutions?
321
00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:46,720
And also, I think we're going to talk more, we're talking now in this podcast, but I'm also
322
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:53,120
thinking we're going to talk more to our systems that are brought more workflows creating,
323
00:25:53,120 --> 00:25:58,160
well, I think, and it's already there, we are building it by yourself, but when I have
324
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:04,240
a meeting with you, I also want to have 23 different kind of workflows behind it, because
325
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:09,120
the system needs to work for me and I don't need to wait for the next steps.
326
00:26:09,120 --> 00:26:13,760
Well, when I have a transcript and I have a team's meeting, I want the next step is that
327
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:18,000
there is an offer for our customer.
328
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,000
And do I really need to make that offer or kind of see in the transcript already that
329
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,640
the offer is about co-piles and co-work with so many uses and there are so many options.
330
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:34,280
And this is the organization and these are the people are involved in the customer who
331
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:35,600
needs to decide on it.
332
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:40,000
So your AI is going to make that as well for you in workflows.
333
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:49,360
So I think the future will be, how can you really make impacts by creating a new process
334
00:26:49,360 --> 00:26:56,520
instead of creating new agents on top of your process that you have now?
335
00:26:56,520 --> 00:27:01,800
And the real winners will be the first one I think.
336
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:08,280
Yeah, we have a lot of new things, I think one of this is the agent to agent collaboration
337
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,120
communication.
338
00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:18,840
How will AI change collaboration and communication in companies?
339
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,000
Interesting, a lot I think.
340
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,840
So we're talking about how can we change our processes, but also we need to think about
341
00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:31,560
how can the change our way of communication with each other.
342
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,840
And I always need to think about the way that we are going from the server to the SharePoint
343
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:42,520
or working with teams and we need to start it with creating our team schools and well,
344
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:47,800
I don't want to go to the office or just want to go to the office and all the things there
345
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:52,800
we need to have new ones.
346
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:58,600
We need to understand that we have a new way of working created there.
347
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:00,200
And the same will happen now.
348
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:06,120
We have AI only involved in that and we need to make the right decisions when AI is doing
349
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:07,120
something.
350
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:10,200
So one of the things, for example, is meetings.
351
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,720
When you have a meeting, you want to have something that already prepared you front of.
352
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:17,800
You want to have send it to all the people where you are to talk about, this is not something
353
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,600
that you need to do by human.
354
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,000
This is what AI can do.
355
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,520
It also gives you a genna, it also gives you some information how long it takes, it gives
356
00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:31,040
you what would the facilitator agent, it gives you also some information about what I already
357
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:39,880
talked about or you can give you notes afterwards but also heads up what you need to do in the
358
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:42,160
future.
359
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:47,480
So I think, well, the next step is more, do we still need to have all this kind of meetings
360
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,200
or can already AI decide some of this?
361
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:55,160
Do we still need to be part of the human?
362
00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:00,400
And what kind of decisions really need to be taken by us?
363
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,400
Yeah.
364
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:11,040
I think a little bit, what I find really interesting, I think my coffee machine that has now a button,
365
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,800
it's AI button, I don't know what it's really do.
366
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:22,720
Yeah, it's a fed labeled AI inside, cool.
367
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,480
You did it test it, yes.
368
00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,440
Yeah, I have clicked the button, but I don't know what's different to be for.
369
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:41,920
Oh, I'm not not a barista, but I think for a barista, the biggest change in what AI
370
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:48,280
do, but I think it's the biggest actually, it's for knowledge work.
371
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:53,280
How did you think knowledge work will transform?
372
00:29:53,280 --> 00:30:00,040
Well, fun thing when you're talking about barista, I know some people who are making applications
373
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:07,440
about how many coffee they drink at a day and if they, how many like coffee beans.
374
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:13,200
I was, yeah, some of that you can take them out, I don't know, it's actually that.
375
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:18,200
Or then you have a ring where it's all your sleep data and those you can analyze, how
376
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,960
many, well, that's the first thing I don't need to think about when you have an AI and
377
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:25,160
bottom of your coffee machine.
378
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:30,840
But was knowledge work, yeah, I think everything, round knowledge work will all change really,
379
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,680
really, really fast.
380
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,680
I think I already doing at the moment.
381
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:42,440
And yeah, think about an AI who, different panel, the eyes, but you need to really think
382
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:47,760
about what are the things that I do on the piece and how can I be, what, what do I want
383
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,280
to be in the future?
384
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:54,440
How can AI help me to get there and one of the things that it's that I actually doesn't
385
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,000
have to do anymore.
386
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,880
And that you can think about personal perspective, personal productivity and I think that's
387
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,560
a lot of the things that a knowledge worker is doing, but also working together with your team.
388
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:11,120
And what are your KPIs in your organization and how can you come there?
389
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:16,840
Yeah, I think knowledge worker will change and normally, and the things that I've seen
390
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:21,400
in the future is that we are going to see even more connecting the dots there.
391
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,160
So you have your CRM data, you've already used it.
392
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,320
Like I don't go to a dynamic system anymore.
393
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:32,960
I asked questions, how many opportunities are there, this customer gave me an advice to
394
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:37,560
handle, what are the next, the talking points that I need to talk with.
395
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:42,720
But also you can think about more data coming together, for example, from your marketing
396
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:51,200
perspective or so I think the whole way of working with chains and you get anything more
397
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:58,320
analyzing data, getting their data is available, getting more opportunities that AI is analyzing
398
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,120
it for you.
399
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,960
But I think we as a human need to learn how to do it well.
400
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:09,960
And don't always ask the questions that we analyze this.
401
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,400
Well, we really need to learn how to get the best results and create good skills for
402
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:15,400
it.
403
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:19,240
Yeah, skills is a good topic.
404
00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,760
You are in a leadership position.
405
00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:28,480
What skills do model leaders need and what will you say which becomes obsolete?
406
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:34,640
Yeah, well, one of the things that I would say, I think everyone will recognize this, everyone
407
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,120
has a lot of good ideas.
408
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:44,080
But nowadays everyone has even more good ideas because they put it in the AI system, they
409
00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:48,680
get things back that you think about, oh, well, this is a good idea and this is my idea,
410
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,200
for example.
411
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:56,360
So I think, first of all, I get a PowerPoint presentation once a week and someone needs to
412
00:32:56,360 --> 00:33:01,360
work like 40 hours to get a really nice PowerPoint presentation and send me to it over and
413
00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,760
told me the story why this is a good idea.
414
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:09,680
And now I get like sometimes 10 PowerPoint presentations in the same style with the same
415
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,920
idea with the different, well, everyone can do even more and have good ideas because of
416
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,320
the AI system.
417
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,640
So I think that we work in.
418
00:33:18,640 --> 00:33:25,800
So I think the thing that we need to learn is how can we, what is the intention of the things
419
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,920
behind it that people are creating?
420
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,120
Why aren't they doing it?
421
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:33,240
So we need to have the skills and really have to communicate and ask you more about the
422
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:37,240
use cases, not only in giving a life, asking about the uses.
423
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:38,240
Why are we doing?
424
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:39,240
Why is this helping us?
425
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,320
Why are you creating this PowerPoint?
426
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,960
What is the intention behind it?
427
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:50,200
So even more of the communication skills will be more important, I think.
428
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:55,680
And because everyone has so many ideas, how can you say to other people that they are
429
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,280
really good ideas?
430
00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:59,840
But this is something someone is working on.
431
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:09,080
So I think the goals and responsibilities for the teams will be more, need to be clear
432
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,480
because everyone can create everything.
433
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:17,040
And it could be, for example, that your finance departments have a good idea for yourself
434
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:18,040
the park, right?
435
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:22,960
And even the way it routes because they have now they feel they've been able to create
436
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:27,040
all kinds of ideas that they think they need to help with.
437
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:37,280
Yeah, I think also what actually happened, like the EU, UAE, I act, there's a lot of stuff
438
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:46,520
that happen, but they're especially for leadership, they become liability for the AI, so they're
439
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,320
personally can be.
440
00:34:51,320 --> 00:35:04,760
So how do you think leadership can be here getting more secure here?
441
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:06,080
What have they to do?
442
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:12,920
Because I don't know, have a better IT guy, some sort team or all.
443
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:19,680
Yeah, interesting is that because, well, you're talking about AI, UAE, AI, and I think that's
444
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:20,680
really important.
445
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:30,000
But you also need to think about what is the best data in my organization and what do we need
446
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:36,040
to be, yeah, needs to have theirs that no one can touch or no one can do something with
447
00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:37,040
it.
448
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,960
What is the thing that we can actually build on?
449
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:47,360
But as well, I think again, the clear instructions need to be there.
450
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:50,240
Yeah, let me think.
451
00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:55,920
You say, what is the more the leadership need to think about?
452
00:35:55,920 --> 00:36:02,480
I think it's good to have not only, I think leadership need to know what are the new things
453
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:09,680
where we stand, what is the market heating on and not only IT department.
454
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:17,000
This is, I think we see AI as a thing that it needs to be in the IT department and someone
455
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:20,080
is responsible from IT.
456
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,880
It's not anymore.
457
00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:27,760
You have more people involved in the different kind of teams who are responsible there, but
458
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:32,440
also getting in a position that they can say, this is what we need and this is responsible
459
00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:34,760
way.
460
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,360
So putting on, for example, in short baking, I'm just five co-pudders, yeah, you need to understand
461
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,360
why.
462
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:51,080
You need to understand what is happening with the other them or using a cloud somewhere
463
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:57,160
or, well, I think everyone needs to learn it and also need to know what are the consequences
464
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,640
around it.
465
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:14,040
Yeah, we have, I think we start with quality data and AI creates so much quantity and how
466
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:25,840
and they all can build now their own agents, their own citizens and stuff and how, yeah,
467
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:36,880
I don't know how will you go all this, how can we go there as a, yeah, be safe or be careful
468
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:37,880
or be...
469
00:37:37,880 --> 00:37:40,800
Yeah, I think you need to make it feasible.
470
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:46,120
So for example, when we talk about our organization that I work for, we have 12 hundred agents
471
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:51,680
there and we have 500 people who are working there.
472
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:57,240
So we have a lot of agents if you say instead of like human.
473
00:37:57,240 --> 00:38:03,320
And I think there are a lot of agents who have no odor and no one who is responsible for
474
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:04,320
it.
475
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:09,640
So, yeah, you will see if people are creating agents and being curious, it's fine that they
476
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:14,480
are, people are doing that, but you also need to have a policy, for example, if they have
477
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:20,920
their first day of working, you want to let them create an agent because they're learning
478
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:26,160
from it, but also the policy that you need to delete it.
479
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:31,360
And the other way is like, for example, if we're using co-pilots in meetings, yeah, you see
480
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:36,400
is that people have meeting transcripts, for example, and then after 30 days, they're
481
00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:42,640
deleting all the recordings because their data are exploring and, yeah, people say, okay,
482
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:47,720
we can delete it after 30 days, but what if your co-pilot doesn't work anymore with that
483
00:38:47,720 --> 00:38:48,720
data?
484
00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:52,600
You always want to have the data because you're building on that.
485
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:59,240
So, it's all with making appointments with your team in how you weigh off working, we're
486
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:00,240
coming back in.
487
00:39:00,240 --> 00:39:01,240
This is what we want.
488
00:39:01,240 --> 00:39:02,240
This is what we want to achieve.
489
00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:05,440
This is where we store our recordings or our data.
490
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:10,960
So our co-pilot can still work with it.
491
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:17,040
And yeah, I think a lot of people are maybe selfish, that's it, because they are doing
492
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:20,440
everything by themselves, creating something for themselves.
493
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:26,240
But if you can look at the broader perspective as an organization, then I think then you win,
494
00:39:26,240 --> 00:39:27,240
yeah.
495
00:39:27,240 --> 00:39:35,560
I think a lot of teams build their agent to agents systems, but they're, yeah, I think marketing
496
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,560
entails.
497
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:45,480
Also, they have, communicate, the video thing, this is be the future.
498
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:55,480
They can only bring that AI talk to another here and how can we be safe?
499
00:39:55,480 --> 00:40:01,000
That's not, I don't know, that's not become bias in all the systems.
500
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,200
How did you have it?
501
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:09,960
Well, bias is something that is also something from the owner of the agents.
502
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:15,400
So you need to, well, I think it's, when I'm, I'm a lot of talk about the
503
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:19,520
solution in our organization, and say, this is something that I really like, and this is
504
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,360
something that I, our, our confidence all need that, then you will see that in every
505
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:28,960
output, it will give bias that the customer needs that solution.
506
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:33,440
So this is also something that we need to learn from human perspective that you need to
507
00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:40,160
create a new chat or a new agent and build it on from scratch with the rights, the rights
508
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:41,160
documents.
509
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:46,480
And this is actually really why you need to create your new agents and not always go to
510
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:51,720
your co-pilot or your code work because it has bias and it is also having different chat
511
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:56,960
and busy, I can't have the same because, well, you do something and you ask a question that
512
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:02,920
they, well, you know that they know that you want that answer, like, and they will give
513
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:03,920
it to you.
514
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:04,920
So that's bias.
515
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:12,400
Also, clear, clear, uh, problems saying, okay, you are a marketer or you are an influencer
516
00:41:12,400 --> 00:41:17,240
or you are a sales director or you are a CEO, what would you do?
517
00:41:17,240 --> 00:41:19,480
And you have no knowledge around this.
518
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:25,040
Um, that, that little thing is already helping, but also having the right data included and,
519
00:41:25,040 --> 00:41:30,320
and, and say, start from the beginning and don't look at my profile who I am now and
520
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,440
what I already sell, uh, send to you.
521
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:39,040
You can make a really different than, uh, than, than, the bias is something that, um,
522
00:41:39,040 --> 00:41:43,440
yeah, that, that is something that, that you as a human, probably, are responsible for
523
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,240
to check.
524
00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:51,480
Uh, and what would you think, uh, which role does, uh, play as transparency?
525
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:55,480
Transparency, which role?
526
00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:03,000
Um, um, well, I think transparency, yeah, it's interesting.
527
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,080
Uh, to think about transparency in, in, in, what are, what is AI using?
528
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:13,320
What are the, what kind of data it used from the web or from your organization?
529
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:18,000
But also transparency in what you're building in your organization and where you want to
530
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,280
go to in, in the future.
531
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:26,640
Um, only when you are transparent, people will all line and have an idea of, okay, just
532
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:27,640
what I also want to build.
533
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:30,160
And this is what I helping our organization with.
534
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:38,680
So transparency in everything is really, uh, needed, um, but we, I think we not, not always
535
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:44,600
know everything because the solutions go so fast that we also searching for things from
536
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:47,680
Microsoft perspective, for example, what is this?
537
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:48,680
Why is it open?
538
00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:49,680
Why is it closed?
539
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:51,440
What is, what will affect?
540
00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,240
What is the LLM out there?
541
00:42:53,240 --> 00:42:54,760
What are they doing with the data?
542
00:42:54,760 --> 00:43:00,040
Uh, so I think that's a role for partners who helping with the cost, helping with the,
543
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:05,600
uh, things that around data governance and the security and also what is doing with all
544
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:09,200
the data that we put in our agents.
545
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:15,440
Um, so yeah, transparency is, is needed, but I think there's also a role for a partner to
546
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:16,800
helping in that.
547
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:17,800
Yeah.
548
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:19,840
Um, but that's interesting.
549
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:28,600
Can you a little bit tell how did you personally use, um, um, a co pilot in, in your daily
550
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,600
work?
551
00:43:29,600 --> 00:43:30,600
Yeah.
552
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:31,600
Oh, sure.
553
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,840
So I share my day today.
554
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:33,840
Yeah.
555
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,720
So I have, I think eight different meetings today.
556
00:43:36,720 --> 00:43:40,320
So that's my, uh, thing that, uh, that happens.
557
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:46,880
Um, so all the transcript out of that I used and say, okay, give me my personal task that
558
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,800
I need to do later on and put it in my agenda for the upcoming week.
559
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,720
And also I go on a vacation.
560
00:43:53,720 --> 00:43:58,960
So some of the things I know that is, uh, is, uh, is something that you need to think about,
561
00:43:58,960 --> 00:44:00,640
okay, when can I do it?
562
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:06,760
So I also asked what is the priority, uh, put it in order of a priority, put it in my agenda.
563
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:12,720
So I did that with co works and my whole full agenda is full for the front of my vacation,
564
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:18,400
but also, uh, after my vacation because it doesn't have any priority at the moment.
565
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:21,440
So that's one of the things that I use a lot.
566
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,920
Another thing is that I always love to share that practices that, that this one is like,
567
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:32,720
I was in Barcelona a few weeks ago and I was there with, uh, uh, a few customers of us.
568
00:44:32,720 --> 00:44:35,000
I was there a half day, so I wasn't long.
569
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:41,600
Uh, I did a presentation with Microsoft at an, uh, an event and then I had like a half hour
570
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,200
of it, five customers.
571
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:46,960
So I put facilitator, you know, and I asked different kind of questions.
572
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,520
So what do you think about the event?
573
00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:51,680
What are your next steps that you're going to do?
574
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:54,480
And what do you think about the organization that I work for?
575
00:44:54,480 --> 00:44:56,360
Three questions, five customers.
576
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:03,400
On my way back to, uh, to the, the airport, I asked co-quited, okay, I want to have an email
577
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:08,160
for our sea level, uh, tell them what happens on these events.
578
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:10,920
There it was with all the insights.
579
00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:16,280
After I asked make an email for all the account managers of the customers and tell them what
580
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:21,480
are the next steps because I know now what are the next steps after this event.
581
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:26,960
Uh, I, uh, send an email to our marketing and make a blog post around it, what they think
582
00:45:26,960 --> 00:45:29,400
about, where they'll, how to, why they are likes.
583
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:33,680
It's hard to work with, where they'll, but also what are the next steps that people really
584
00:45:33,680 --> 00:45:39,200
need to know about and what happens in the, uh, event space, where I was.
585
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:45,480
I made some pictures with the customers, so I have, yeah, so the things that I use is, is
586
00:45:45,480 --> 00:45:52,840
how can I make something small as like, uh, five minutes call with the customer, how can
587
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:59,680
we create a lot of noise, uh, and not only noise, but also impacts on the next steps.
588
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:05,280
And I, I do that a lot with every podcast that I make, with every contents that I make.
589
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:11,480
It's, it's a search for even even more, uh, and making new content around it and also,
590
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,680
uh, inform my colleagues.
591
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:23,040
Um, um, when, when we stay at, at co-pilot, um, there are so many tools, uh, like, uh, co-pilot
592
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:31,840
studio, co-pilot inside M6-X5, uh, yeah, we also have also the other stuff like AI factory,
593
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,960
but, but what, what, what did you, uh, use most and why?
594
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,000
Yeah, though all the easiest way is, is co-pilot will go work.
595
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:48,320
And of course I, I've made a few of my few agents there, um, Nora is, is one of my agents
596
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:55,480
and a fa is one of my ages, so I make a human name around it for as well, analyzing and, and,
597
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,200
creating task and, and that kind of things.
598
00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:02,000
Um, but, um, yeah, what are you use most?
599
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:06,240
Yeah, I, I need to say I don't use wanting most.
600
00:47:06,240 --> 00:47:09,040
It's my start points for the whole day.
601
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:13,720
So I never ever going any more in my inbox on my email.
602
00:47:13,720 --> 00:47:16,720
I start points is co-pilot.
603
00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:21,520
Um, and I do the same with creating a power point.
604
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:27,160
I, most of the time, okay, I can do that from power point itself, but I also can start from,
605
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:28,760
uh, co-pilot itself.
606
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:32,560
So I think for me is, um, it's the other way around.
607
00:47:32,560 --> 00:47:39,000
It's not what are you using a lot, but it's, it's my, yeah, I say UI for AI.
608
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:40,000
It's really there.
609
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,960
It's my reference point to go to the different kind of agents that are in my M25 co-pilot
610
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:46,960
as furtious.
611
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:53,360
Um, yeah, I wanna, uh, answer all my emails are there in, in concepts, put it on there
612
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:58,880
or, um, um, make, uh, let me coach, for example.
613
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:04,560
I also do a lot about my role and the people accidentally did I really do the right things.
614
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:05,560
Well, I do now.
615
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:07,800
I'll podcast with you, for example.
616
00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:11,200
Is that something that is, is, is right for my role?
617
00:48:11,200 --> 00:48:17,040
Um, uh, and then I can think about, okay, we'll, I do it next week again or another, we'll
618
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:18,760
do any to focusing on other things.
619
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:25,680
So, uh, it's also, uh, really good in, in, in, in, in, uh, your, uh, your task, but also in,
620
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:30,600
in coaching and, and, and helping you, uh, I, growing your, uh, your position.
621
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:31,600
Yeah.
622
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:37,320
Um, um, and when we think about the adoption co, and by co-pilot, there we have, I think
623
00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:43,160
for Microsoft two programs, uh, I think they have really the same name, but, uh, uh, there
624
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:47,280
are one is the adoption framework champion.
625
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:48,280
Yeah.
626
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:51,320
And the, uh, the co pilot, chantians.
627
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,920
So what did you think about the, these, these programs?
628
00:48:54,920 --> 00:49:01,480
Well, I think it's, it's nice that there's a program and as you can learn from it and, uh,
629
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:07,280
it's good to have a framework somewhere, but I think what we said already is, it's, it's
630
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:13,080
like, uh, a popcorn machine that we in and we see a lot of this, that we are thinking about
631
00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:17,920
away of an outcar or something like that is awareness, desire, and all that, stability
632
00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:18,920
and reinforcement.
633
00:49:18,920 --> 00:49:27,000
And I still believe that's really good, but the, uh, uh, uh, the knowledge is keep popping
634
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:28,000
up every day.
635
00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:29,440
So it's, don't stop anymore.
636
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:34,480
So I think adoption needs to be something that you need to invest in every day and it's
637
00:49:34,480 --> 00:49:36,040
not something that stops.
638
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:40,100
And a lot of this kinds of things are something that stops.
639
00:49:40,100 --> 00:49:45,360
But when you have champions, you have some people in your organization who are responsible
640
00:49:45,360 --> 00:49:49,920
for the new days, new updates and helping others as well, so I think that's fantastic
641
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:54,640
to do because you have people in your organization helping others there and sharing it so you
642
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,940
don't have to do it all by yourself.
643
00:49:57,940 --> 00:50:00,000
So that's good.
644
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:05,880
But I think it's, it's, well, we, we see a lot of things around adoption and co-pilot
645
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:10,720
and I think a lot of people are training people in a way, this is the button that you can
646
00:50:10,720 --> 00:50:16,960
have and that you can choose and this is how you can transcribe or summarize your meeting.
647
00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:22,800
But then it's, I think it's way more than that you need to have like a different kind of
648
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:28,800
mindset to start in here and this is your, how is gold as you want?
649
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:33,360
Yeah, that's in my case like the next steps and real adoption if people understand that
650
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:38,800
they're always changing, not only using a puzzle because they can use AI and something
651
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:40,400
that they already did.
652
00:50:40,400 --> 00:50:44,680
Thinking about the outcome and the next steps and how you can even help your customers
653
00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:51,200
better or have better communication with your colleagues or growing as a person by yourself.
654
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:52,600
I think that's the next step.
655
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:54,120
Yeah, that's really interesting.
656
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,680
So I have on every podcast, I have a quick fire route.
657
00:50:57,680 --> 00:51:04,440
So I asked some questions and you give us a short, short answer.
658
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:08,920
What is the biggest AI myth?
659
00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:12,240
I want to say AI, something we see there everywhere.
660
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:21,840
When we say AI, AI agents, I think that's, yeah.
661
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,520
Hybrid or remote?
662
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:25,520
Hybrid?
663
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:30,840
Bit of a ball of a candle.
664
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:42,800
What's something people are surprised to learn about you?
665
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:45,560
So guys, a lot about me.
666
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:51,200
Facability, I think.
667
00:51:51,200 --> 00:51:55,480
The most underrated Microsoft 365 feature.
668
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:57,240
Workplace?
669
00:51:57,240 --> 00:52:03,360
When Microsoft comes to you and say, "Fame, you get all the resources and money you need.
670
00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:10,040
What feature will you develop?"
671
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:16,520
Better results, workflows and combination when they do different kinds of AI tools.
672
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:21,800
What's the best conference you ever in?
673
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:33,080
How do you project for over then with all the new AI information?
674
00:52:33,080 --> 00:52:41,600
We use building agents to get informed.
675
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:54,800
All workplace habits to stop.
676
00:52:54,800 --> 00:53:00,160
We still need to do that.
677
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:04,880
And which ones to start?
678
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:16,360
Back my agent work, close my laptop.
679
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,960
Coffee or tea or energy during the development of the AI agent?
680
00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:23,160
Who inspires you professionally?
681
00:53:23,160 --> 00:53:30,880
A lot of people, but I would say, Pasu Jakal?
682
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:35,680
Pasu is a boss on the circularised site.
683
00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:36,680
I really like it.
684
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:46,880
Someone from leadership who takes the time, communication helps you in a way that feels
685
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:47,880
human.
686
00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:53,960
I think a lot of people are really focusing on getting the results that I think is needed.
687
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:58,280
But staying human, staying personal, that's what I admire.
688
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:03,080
I saw her a few times and we have some conversations as well.
689
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:10,400
But I like it when people are really 100% the same and can do the being themselves and
690
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:16,240
actually can be themselves in a role that they are still in a high position.
691
00:54:16,240 --> 00:54:21,040
The best thing to be a part of the woman in tech?
692
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,520
Best thing.
693
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:26,000
Other women who uplift each other?
694
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,680
Yeah, cool.
695
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:34,920
But what's the one lesson you learn from transformation?
696
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:38,920
Everyone has different opinion about what transformation is.
697
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:39,920
Okay.
698
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:46,240
Yeah, so thank you for being here and my closing question is, if listeners remember only
699
00:54:46,240 --> 00:54:52,120
one message from today, what should it be?
700
00:54:52,120 --> 00:55:01,480
One message from today, start with leadership, have the right people on board, get your strategy,
701
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:10,480
make a policy around it, go around it, let your people evolve and also just start and
702
00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:12,120
the people experience.
703
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:17,400
Yeah, so yeah, then thank you so much for joining me on the MC65 podcast.
704
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:23,280
Yeah, today's conversation was a great reminder that successful AI adoption isn't measured
705
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:28,360
by how many licenses are assigned or how many prompts are written.
706
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:32,800
It's measured by how people collaborate, make decisions and create value together.
707
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:39,680
Yeah, I think we explore why transformation start with culture, how co-pilot and MC65
708
00:55:39,680 --> 00:55:43,720
can become through business and progress and why leadership trust and changement are
709
00:55:43,720 --> 00:55:46,400
just important as technology itself.
710
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:51,000
So thank you for being here and have a great day.
711
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:52,000
Bye.
712
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Bye-bye.
713
00:55:53,000 --> 00:56:03,000
