Everyone says AI is the priority. Yet many projects are quietly failing. At Gartner D&A, I asked Christopher Moore, Global Sr. Director, AI & Platform at Alteryx, to be direct about why.His answer was not about models. It was about execution. Too many AI initiatives are disconnected from real business workflows. They look good in a lab. They struggle in operations. We then got into a bigger tension inside enterprises. Business teams understand the problem best. But they rarely build the AI solutions themselves.Why? Because the tooling has been too technical. Too fragmented. Too dependent on centralized teams. Christopher explained how Alteryx is trying to close that gap. Not by lowering standards, but by enabling governed, production-grade AI where business users already work. We also talked about what MCP server and Agentspace unlock for long time Alteryx users. In simple terms, it is about moving from isolated workflows to orchestrated AI systems. From analytics automation to agent-enabled automation.And then we addressed the elephant in the room. Alteryx was once labeled shadow IT. That perception has shifted. In a world where AI governance is critical, the focus is now on controlled enablement. Visibility. Auditability. Guardrails built in.The message was clear. Empowering business users does not mean losing governance. It means designing platforms that balance speed with control. If you are navigating the tension between innovation and oversight, this is a conversation you will want to watch.#data #ai #gartnerda #alteryx #theravitshow

In this episode of The Evolving Leader, Jean and Scott sit down with Andy MacMillan, CEO of Alteryx, to explore how generative AI is reshaping work, leadership and organisational design. Andy shares a uniquely practical and grounded view of where companies really are with AI adoption, caught in a chaotic but exciting period where the opportunity is clear, but the scaffolding is not yet in place. He explains why AI transformation cannot be delegated to IT, how leaders should approach reimagining business processes, and why Theory of Constraints is one of the most powerful lenses for navigating the next wave of change.Andy also opens up about the leadership challenges ahead: maintaining psychological safety in the midst of rapid technological shift, helping teams build confidence with new tools, and avoiding both complacency and panic. He shares candid lessons from his own leadership journey, the importance of transparency when organisations face change, and why the most impactful AI practices often happen at the “strategic altitude” rather than in day-to-day automation. Further reading re.

In this CRO Spotlight episode, host Warren Zenna sits down with Steven Birdsall, CRO at Alteryx, to unpack a sweeping leadership transition and how a newly formed C‑suite aligned on product and go‑to‑market. Steven shares how a product‑centric CEO and a servant‑leader CRO combine to create clarity of mandate, performance culture, and human‑first execution across sales, CS, partners, and solutions engineering.The conversation dives deep into Alteryx's evolution from workflows feeding BI to becoming the governed “canvas” for AI and agent use cases. Steven explains how business users can blend structured and unstructured data, enforce governance and access controls, and then safely bring LLMs into the same environment—pushing compute down to cloud data platforms like BigQuery, Databricks, and Snowflake.For CROs, Steven details practical AI operationalization: SDR personalization at scale, three‑dimensional agents trained on company knowledge, and revenue insights built directly on internal data. He outlines how to raise sales efficiency without scaling opex linearly, and why fast experimentation with new AI tools is now core to modern GTM orchestration.Steven closes with hiring and leadership principles for today's CRO: prioritize grit, perseverance, and customer centricity over pedigree; remove roadblocks for the field; and mentor generously. He shares how to balance data‑driven rigor with empathy, build alignment with marketing regardless of reporting lines, and stay entrepreneurial—even inside a large, complex organization.
