He's back!
Recorded on Australia’s King’s Birthday while Andrew Welch, global AI technologist and thought leader, dialled in fresh from DynamicsMinds in Slovenia, this episode looks at AI in the enterprise through the lens of real conferences, real customers and real partner pain. Andrew shares what he’s seeing on the ground: how AI strategy and architecture sessions land, why the old implementation‑plus‑services model is under pressure, and what partners and customers need to change in how they structure, fund and deliver AI projects. Expect a mix of war stories, sharp takes and practical guidance for anyone in the Microsoft orbit.
Andrew is the founder, managing partner and chief strategy officer of Cloud Lighthouse, drawing on battle-tested experience helping enterprises worldwide convert AI hype into tangible results.
