Every major enterprise platform this quarter — Salesforce Headless 360, Workday Agent System of Record, Microsoft Copilot Studio, SAP Joule, Oracle agentic, ServiceNow Moveworks, IBM watsonx Orchestrate — is pitching a control plane for your AI agents. But none of them is solving the real problem: who inside your organization actually owns the agent workforce, and who's steering it at the speed agents now act? In this edition of Lens Four,
Send us Fan MailAI hype is loud, but what's happening inside real enterprises is much more interesting and much more practical. We talk with Michael Fauscette, founder and CEO of Ariane Research and author of Building the Digital Workforce, to get specific about what “agentic AI” actually means when software can plan, act, and operate as a digital worker. The big shift is simple: generative AI creates content, while agentic AI executes work. That raises new questions about control, trust, and how leaders should roll it out without breaking processes or confidence. We dig into the most visible use case today: customer service. When an AI agent handles tier-one triage, solves routine issues fast, and hands off cleanly to a human for edge cases, most people are surprisingly okay with it. The key is guardrails and transparency, plus a rollout plan that earns trust over time rather than assuming instant autonomy. We also unpack why enterprise agentic AI is not the same as a public chatbot. Enterprise systems depend on your private data, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), rules that prevent outdated policy answers, and governance that ensures an agent cannot publish or act on information it shouldn't. Then we go deeper into the context versus memory distinction. Agents can retrieve the right information, but without durable memory, they cannot truly learn from past actions. Michael explains what a high-performing digital workforce looks like as a stack: integrated data, orchestration and governance, specialized agents built for real jobs, and collaboration that enables humans and agents to work together. If you're a leader wondering why pilots stall, where to start, and how to explain ROI to the board, this conversation gives you a grounded path forward. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review so more leaders can find the show. What's the first business process you'd trust an agent to run?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Pedro Andrade, Vice President of AI at Talkdesk, spoke with Moshe Beauford of Technology Reseller News during the Enterprise Connect conference about how artificial intelligence is evolving from simple automation into a true digital workforce within contact centers. Andrade explained that the latest wave of AI adoption goes beyond task-based automation. Instead, organizations are beginning to deploy AI systems that can manage entire workflows and handle meaningful portions of customer interactions. “AI is no longer just a tool that performs individual tasks—it's becoming a digital worker capable of managing complete processes,” Andrade said. Talkdesk is developing AI capabilities that help enterprises automate complex customer service operations while supporting human agents with real-time insights and guidance. These technologies allow contact centers to scale operations more efficiently while improving the quality and consistency of customer experiences. The conversation also highlighted how generative AI is already handling a significant share of customer interactions in many contact centers. As AI continues to mature, organizations are exploring how digital workers can collaborate with human agents to manage workloads more effectively. As discussions at Enterprise Connect continue to focus on AI-driven transformation across enterprise communications, Talkdesk is positioning its AI platform as a foundation for the next generation of intelligent, AI-powered customer service operations.

Technovation with Peter High (CIO, CTO, CDO, CXO Interviews)
1036: What does it mean to manage a digital workforce? In this episode of Technovation, we feature a panel from our most recent Metis Strategy Summit where three top executives explore how AI is reshaping work, both automating tasks, and changing the nature of management itself. Peter High speaks with: Jennifer Charters, Chief Information Officer at Lincoln Financial Prasanna Gopalakrishnan, Chief Product & AI Officer at ADP Daniel Marcu, Global Head of AI Engineering at Goldman Sachs Together, they discuss: Why AI agents require new thinking about team structure and oversight How CIOs and CHROs must partner to build enterprise AI fluency The risks of shadow AI and the need for secure platforms How habit loops and performance incentives impact AI adoption What it takes to balance innovation speed with organizational readiness
Forget the headlines predicting a “workerless workforce.” In this episode, host Bill Banham sits down with longtime cloud and SaaS analyst Phil Wainwright to cut through the hype and examine what AI agents really mean for HR, business leaders, and the people doing the work.Phil argues that automation can be transformative—but calling software a “workforce” conceals the real challenges organisations face: governance, transparency, accountability, and change management. Together, we explore where AI agents will take hold first—help desks, admin-heavy workflows, repetitive processes—and why this shift places HR in a more strategic, cross-functional role.Listeners will get practical guidance on:How to encode policy, ethics, and organisational values into systems so AI operates safelySpecific risks in AI-driven recruiting and performance processes, from hidden bias to opaque decision pathsThe documentation, access rules, and audit trails needed to build trustHow skills-based talent frameworks are reshaping hiring, development, and mobilityWhy adaptability, empathy, creativity, and problem solving are emerging as the defining skills of modern workWe also dig into early-career disruption, the evolution of knowledge work, and the rise of modular teams blending AI, contractors, and full-time staff—without dumping everyone into the gig economy.If you're leading HR or building teams, this episode offers a grounded roadmap for responsible AI adoption and resilient workforce design.Support the showFeature Your Brand on the HRchat PodcastThe HRchat show has had 100,000s of downloads and is frequently listed as one of the most popular global podcasts for HR pros, Talent execs and leaders.

In 2025, workforce burnout in Asia has become a silent crisis, especially in digitizing enterprises. Employees may appear present but are emotionally disengaged, particularly in hybrid work settings where cultural stigma masks mental health struggles. Traditional measures like Employee Assistance Programs are inadequate, as many don't voice their distress. This silent burnout undermines productivity and morale. Proactive, data-driven mental health systems leveraging AI are emerging as essential for early detection and support. With the Asia-Pacific mental wellness market projected to surpass USD 70 billion by 2031, prioritizing mental health is now crucial for performance and retention.In this PodChats for FutureCOO, we are joined by Antoinette Patterson, CEO of Safe Space, to talk about how Silent Burnout is Asia's Digital Workforce CrisisAntoinette, welcome to PodChats for FutureCOO1.

Why do traditional Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) and wellness perks fall short in today's workforce environment? (fire extinguishers)3. What are the key signs of burnout that often go unnoticed in hybrid or remote work settings?4. How can AI and data analytics be used to identify early indicators of employee mental distress without violating privacy?5. What practical steps can companies take to embed proactive mental health support into their daily operations?6. Can you share examples of how forward-thinking organisations in Asia have successfully implemented proactive mental health systems?7. (We might be repeating this) How does investing in mental wellness infrastructure translate into measurable business outcomes like retention and productivity?8. What cultural or regional factors in Asia affect how mental health support should be designed and delivered?9. How do you see the mental wellness market in Asia-Pacific evolving over the next five to ten years?10.

The OT (operational technology) space has never been more of a target to cyber threats than today. A recent McKinsey & Company article stated “As this sector embraces digitalization, its ‘attack surface' is skyrocketing. In a space that boasted about being air-gapped, or unplugged from the internet environment in years past, these new capabilities have made it vulnerable to attack – and threat actors are chomping at the bit.” In this episode we discuss cybersecurity in the process industries with cybersecurity expert, Marco Ayala, President of the Houston chapter of InfraGard, a partnership between the FBI and the private sector for the protection of U.S. critical infrastructure. Marco, who has a long history in industrial security, comes from the unique perspective of being a supplier to the process industries as well as an end user.

Digital Transformation is everywhere - and Rockwell Automation is right at the center of it.Andrew Ellis is Vice President of Rockwell's Global Portfolio Engineering division, responsible for the ecosystem of solutions developed by Rockwell Automation, their acquired brands, and their many partners across the globe. He has firsthand insight into how the digital industrial world is evolving, and along with it, the way customers seek solutions and the kinds of skills required by the digital workforce.We sat down with Andrew for a live broadcast at Rockwell Automation Fair 2022 in Chicago to discuss emerging technologies like....Emulate 3D digital twin software for modeling and commissioningRobotics integrationFactoryTalkSaaS in industrial automationSoftware in the cloud and at the edgePartnerships with companies like PLEX, Microsoft, and othersWhile new technology is exciting, it also requires a whole new set of skills, a new way of educating learners, and a new way of building relationships with customers. These are 3 key insights about the digital workforce you'll glean from our conversation with Andrew:3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Digital transformation turns discrete technologies into a fully-integrated ecosystem of hardware, software, data and people: Smart manufacturing builds on traditional automation, adding things like intelligence at the edge, software in the cloud, industrial SaaS, mobile-ready data and human-machine collaboration. Andrew shares how Rockwell and their partner network are developing and deploying this ecosystem-focused approach to industrial applications.The digital workforce needs foundational skills coupled with a STEM approach to learning: In an environment of ever-evolving technology, how do schools adequately prepare students for the workforce? Andrew argues that today's STEM-centric approach to education is the solution: students should learn basic fundamentals (like math & physics), be exposed to modern technology, and most importantly understand the applied purpose of technology (what problem does it solve?) and how people will interact with it in the industrial workforce.Upcoming generations of the digital workforce want purposeful, people-centric careers: What do today's students want out of their future career? Purpose, an opportunity to be challenged, and a place to grow - these have been the key factors for many years. But now, the next generation raised on technology also seek careers where technology and people collaborate symbiotically, a culture that aligns with their personal values, and a company that has a sustainable, responsible presence in the global economy.ResourcesTo learn more about Rockwell Automation: rockwellautomation.comConnect with Rockwell Automation on social media:Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | LinkedInView episode page: https://techedpodcast.com/andrewellis/Instagram - Facebook - YouTube - TikTok - Twitter - LinkedIn

The Innovation Exchange, a programme that accelerates digital transformation for large multinational businesses (MNCs) by connecting them with indigenous Irish SMEs, is calling on innovative technology scale-ups to join the programme and collaborate with MNCs to help address their challenges. Created by Furthr (formerly Dublin BIC) in partnership with Skillnet Ireland, the programme has announced additional funding to meet higher-than-expected demand. The new funding comes following a successful initial phase which enabled collaboration between 200 SMEs with some of Ireland's leading corporations including Musgrave, Heineken, Ryanair, Glanbia, ESB and AXA. At ‘Innovating for the Future', an event held today to report its first six-month performance, The Innovation Exchange announced that it is to open its doors to an additional 100 digital transformation solutions providers to meet increasing demand from industry. Discussing the programmes expansion at today's event, Minister of State for Skills and Further Education, Niall Collins T.D. said: “I'm delighted to see The Innovation Exchange open its doors to a further 100 SMEs in 2022. With over 25 innovation challenges being published by some of Ireland's leading multinationals this year alone, it offers ambitious tech SMEs great opportunities for growth.” Conor Carmody, Programme Director, The Innovation Exchange, said: “The Innovation Exchange has had a strong start and the calibre of both corporates and SMEs participating has been very high. We are delighted to open applications for new technology SMEs to join the programme. We're not only looking for tried and tested digital transformation solutions, but also for the ability to collaborate with large businesses who want to put their stamp on the end solution. If you're a growing, solutions-focused SME then we would urge you to join The Innovation Exchange at a time when there are so many corporate challenges on the table.” Mark Jordan, Chief Strategy Officer, Skillnet Ireland, said: “The Innovation Exchange has made great strides in its first six months, supporting the success of both large multinationals and indigenous SMEs. We are pleased to announce today's expansion of the programme. The potential benefits to scaling companies extend way beyond signing a contract. By building the right capabilities, these firms are accessing a qualified sales pipeline and getting face time with prospective customers. I strongly encourage indigenous SMEs to consider the programme for a great opportunity to collaborate with leading multinational corporations.” Launched in February 2022, The Innovation Exchange has had a number of successful outcomes to date, including 20 SMEs that have moved to a deeper engagement with a corporate partner, with one company announcing that it has signed a paid pilot. Several other SMEs are in proof-of-concept discussions with a view to establishing a longer-term collaboration. More than 30 innovation challenges are expected to be published by large corporates for participating SMEs in 2022. The paid pilot involves Exertis, an IT services company of DCC, and The Éclair Group (now Digital Workforce), a technology scale-up that is developing innovative solutions in robotics process automation. Exertis published an innovation challenge via The Innovation Exchange in May and The Eclair Group responded proposing a solution. Following a pitch and a proof-of-concept phase, a deal was agreed to enter a paid pilot. The Innovation Exchange offers participants a range of benefits including: A qualified sales pipeline and getting face time with prospective customers. — Opportunity to pitch your solution to prospective customers. — Gaining insights into markets and companies which helps SMEs pitch their solution more successfully. — Tailor-made training designed to improve performance of SME members when selling to large corporates. — One-to-one mentoring to companies around preparing proposals, pitching to corporates...

The robots are coming and they will make low-grade, tedious jobs redundant, that's a given by now. Guy Clapperton's interviewees this week, James Ewing of Digital Workforce and Oleg Rogynsky of People.ai, welcome the prospect - but they are concerned there needs to be regulations and at this stage the nearest we have come from Isaac Asimov (which is fine and people keep quoting it but as Guy points out, that's actually a work of fiction). This episode looks at ethics, regulation and just how intelligent robotic process automation (RPA) is becoming. If you enjoy the episode, please do leave a review somewhere - and please note I'm taking a summer break like the rest of the world, the Near Futurist podcast will return on 30 August.
