Can enterprise AI scale without sacrificing trust? At @UiPath FUSION, I spoke with @AndradaMorar about what it takes to orchestrate agents, automation, systems, and people with clear accountability. @UiPath's framework "Deterministic where you can, agentic where you can’t, humans where you must." This goes beyond technology architecture. It calls for leadership discipline.

I joined Sandeep Singh from @NetApp on @theCUBE at INSIGHT 2026 to talk about the leadership and operational decisions organizations are navigating as AI becomes part of everyday business. We covered trusted access to data, governance and accountability, and how infrastructure teams are moving toward more intent-based and AI-assisted operations. It comes back to connecting technology decisions to business outcomes and creating consistency across data, governance, and operations as AI scales.

Ever had a late payment blow up your year-end tax calculation? A payment due Dec 30 arrived Jan 10. Eleven days. That's all it took to unravel our year-end numbers because the payment was already factored into our tax calculation. By the time we caught it, we were redoing work that should have been done. This happens to small business owners more than anyone admits. It's not a payments problem. It's a systems problem. With @airwallex Agentic Business Accounts, agents can match and reconcile incoming payments automatically as they land. If something doesn't match, an agent flags it for human review within the rules and approvals you set. The agent catches the problem. You decide what to do about it. Exactly what I wish we'd had in December.

What does AI transformation look like when it’s working at scale? At @UiPath FUSION, leaders from @smbc_group, @MayoClinic, @NatWestHelps, @USAA, @Workday, and @forrester shared a consistent message. Real enterprise outcomes come from redesigning processes around AI, then bringing together orchestration, automation, governance, and human oversight. SMBC’s lesson stood out. Three steps at 90% accuracy yield only 73% end-to-end accuracy. “AI by design” means rethinking the full workflow, not simply inserting AI into it. Stay tuned for my #CXOSpice with @UiPath @AndradaMorar. Watch the keynote here: uipath.com/events/fusion?utm… #UiPathFUSION #UiPathPartner

Is your AI agent creating value or creating activity you cannot govern? At @UiPath Fusion, one message stood out: do not confuse autonomy with trust. Start bounded. Observe performance. Add human checkpoints. Expand autonomy only when it is earned. AI proposes. Humans decide. Automation Executes. Accountability stays with human. The risk is not moving too fast. It is automating in the wrong direction. Check out this keynote discussion with @UiPath CMO @matalla, CPO Raghu Malpani and @grok_ #AIAgents #EnterpriseAI #AIGovernance #UiPathPartner #UiPathFusion

What does it take to trust AI with the work that matters? At @UiPath FUSION, @danieldines made the case that AI alone does not create business value. Orchestration provides the context, coordination, and governance enterprises need. The shift is from disconnected AI tools to governed, end-to-end execution. Cartographer, stronger platform controls, autonomous testing, and the partner ecosystem all point to the same future AI that understands work, operates within clear guardrails, and earns trust through accountability. #UiPathFUSION #AIOrchestration #AgenticAutomation #EnterpriseAI

How does @Zoom get it done for me? Not by hosting my 150+ CXO Spice episodes. That was never the hard part. The follow up was. Guests thank you note. Quotes pulled for the promo. Show notes drafted. Action items for my editor. Every episode ended with an hour plus of admin nobody sees. Now the meeting ends and the follow up is already waiting. The summary, the draft note to my guest, the tasks assigned with deadlines. I review, I tweak, I send. What used to take an hour now takes twenty minutes. That's the difference between a tool that helps you talk and a tool that helps you finish. @Zoom Gets it Done. It has always been for me. Curious what "getting it done" looks like beyond my podcast?

Is experience a feature of your business or is it the business? In the AI era, experience management is moving beyond dashboards and surveys. The opportunity is to turn customer and employee signals into governed, real-time action before friction becomes churn. In my conversation with @Jasonmaynard, CEO of @Qualtrics, we explored why AI without context is fast but blind, why NPS is a signal rather than the goal, and why the trusted business outcome is higher customer lifetime value. The leaders who win will connect experience data, operational context, AI, and governance across silos to improve the moments that matter.

Every company has AI pilots. Fewer have results. The gap is getting agents into production, working with the systems and people who do the real work. That's why I'm heading to @UiPath FUSION 2026, where 2,000+ leaders compare notes on scaling agentic AI. Deterministic where you can, agentic where you can't, humans where you must. Catch me in the Agentic Labs, the Experts Arena, and hosting a special guest on #CXOSpice. See you in Las Vegas next week, @UiPath Community. #UiPathFUSION #UiPathPartner Register here: uipath.com/events/fusion?utm…

Can your organization turn technology change into lasting business value? The biggest modernization mistake I see is treating cloud migration as the end of transformation. What happens after a successful migration when attention moves on, teams disperse, and technical debt, fragmented data, and slow delivery begin to rebuild? My view: AI readiness is customer readiness. It depends on continually improving the applications, data, infrastructure, and processes that shape customer and employee experiences. This is why I find what @AWS is doing with modernization so relevant. AWS Transform, the first agentic AI service built for enterprise modernization, is helping organizations like @thomsonreuters and @ADP turn legacy complexity into measurable outcomes: 30%+ cost reductions, 80% faster rule extraction, and a foundation for AI-powered products at scale. In the latest #CXOSpice newsletter, I explore why modernization stalls after migration, the signals that technical constraints are becoming business constraints, and how leaders can make modernization a continuous capability.

What does the future of AI-powered experience management look like from inside the Utah Jazz training facility? At @Qualtrics Future of XM, CEO @Jasonmaynard made the shift clear. Stop token maxing. Start LTV maxing. After spending much of my career on customer journey maps, I’m excited by XM moving beyond understanding journeys toward trusted outcomes, using data, context, prediction, and action to improve the moments that matter. A memorable day of keynote insights, time with @Qualtrics founder and @utahjazz owner @RyanQualtrics, a locker room visit, the team mascot, and conversations with analysts on what comes next. I hosted @Jasonmaynard on CXO Spice in SLC. Stay tuned for our conversation. #FutureOfXM #XM #AI #CustomerExperience #QualtricsPartner

Is your AI infrastructure being treated as a strategic decision? Models will keep changing. What enables lasting AI scale is the infrastructure, architecture, and ecosystem underneath. In my conversation with Maryam Zand of @Equinix, we discuss moving from isolated pilots to distributed production AI across data, users, clouds, partners, edge environments, and more.

How many founders filed a tax extension because expense itemizing took weeks? Before April 15, I overpaid tax to avoid penalties while wrestling with bookkeeping. When client payments lag, quarterly estimated taxes become guestimates that stall growth. T:0 by @airwallex keeps books continuously current with checkable AI rules and real CPA review.

Why do enterprise AI pilots stall at production scale? The answer is rarely the model. It’s the business objective. Start with a measurable outcome such as cost, customer experience, or revenue, and the right data, governance, and accountability follow. I shared more with @NetApp on scaling AI responsibly: ntap.co/-IdESw Looking forward to continuing the conversation at @NetApp INSIGHT in Las Vegas Sep 29- Oct 1. #NetAppPartner #CIOs
