Finally caught up with this! Thank you so much for sharing your stories. Really enjoyed this. You rock

Hilarious.

This guy isn't a real person

This is one of the most important conversations to have right now. (1) Concept of agents and improved models will fundamentally change business structures (2) all forms of data and security around that will make or break businesses in the world of AI agents

This was brilliant!

Loving this !!

Great insights in this video, Bert’s journey is inspiring. I find tools like Myko Assistant particularly useful for accurate information retrieval without the hassle of filters and dashboards. It saves time, especially when researching AI strategies.

Excited to hear that Microsoft is investing in making the Platform faster!!!! This was a great episode!

Thank you so much for having me on your show, Mark! I had a lot of fun and I really appreciate what you do for the Microsoft community!

I have always struggled with being able to ask questions to understand and document them at the same time. One of the most obvious ways going about is to have another team member be the scribe. But the problem with that is what if their documentation doesn't make relevant sense later on? What are some of the other ways going about it ? @nz365guy - I have found that depending upon the nature of the client we cannot take photos in our ipads all the time as it might be classified but I do find that method useful when we can take photos. One of the questions you asked was reg ensuring usability as a key part of AC. What I have done and think it works is this. I had a client migrating from a system to Dynamics 365. So I took access to their env to see what fields and sections are used by them and replicated that in their dev instance (not my personal demo env) D365 as a starting point. Based on other easy and quick to implment requirements we would add more relevant tabs or sections with fieds on them and showcase it later to a client in one of the meetings. That would be ground zero to understand from them if the fields make sense in the spot they are kept it. Else we would move it up or down depending upon usability. Also allow them to take screenshots from the model driven app which is exactly what they will be using post going live. So that gives a real sense of what it will look like in reality. Additionally, this could be an ongoing process for quite some time into several sprints where they might change their mind several times. So again the question that arises here is how to manage that. My two cents. Cheers.

Thanks Mark for this great session. ✌️ Please note the link to Raphael's LinkedIn is not working.

Literally spat out my cheerios at this comment "some nob saying they reached AGI" 😂

I believe good Architects are not the people who know everything about different components of technology, specially with this massive evolving of technologies thats not possible. Instead they are good at asking the right questions. For example, a good solution architect in one hand asks good questions from stakeholders to understand their problems well, and on the other hand asks good questions from developers about those points of technology that they are not sure about. And it comes only from experiences, not certifications. The same happens to enterprise architects with a difference that the people they ask their questions from are different, on one hand C levels of organization and on the other hand SAs. And in the era of AI, both EAs and SAs must be highly skilled in prompt engineering as well. Asking the right questions from AI. 😊

Digitalization projects are 30% technical and 70% people. I guess I will never forget this sentence. Loved it. Thank you both Janet and Mark.

Thanks for sharing this! It's amazing to hear how Power Platform helps in highly scaled solutions.

hey, i loved the conversation. Can you please share the presentation referred in the conversation.

Ohh..... technology/IT project is like going shopping: you go to the shop, you get a thing, and you have a waranty for a thing. Managing/consultancy services is a lot more like an experiece, a day out - a tough mudder: you tough it out during the day, you have nothing to show for it and yet you feel a better person at the end....

👍👍

I'm a huge fan of Franco. Thanks for organising this, Mark. Really interesting.

As usual this video deserves way more views. Perhaps adding video would make a great difference ? Always nice to view at least the host talking...

This discussion was actually so good. It deserves way more views, likes and subscribers.

love this series!! this was the best one so far!!

Love the 30 min format, much easier to commit to watching

Please interview George Hotz

Why so few subscribers / views ? This channel has great content, wondering if YT is suppressing the content, and if so why ?

AGI is not possible, period. Mainly because of our emotions that drive our actions which is determined by hormones. So unless engineering and biology merge, I am certain this is not a possibility.

Great chat highlighting the bigger view (again). Just a bit of a sideways question: what would be an outlook about enterprise organisations bringing some of the compute power back in house (on-prem), in the light of compute power requirements for AI as well as any sort of related data regulations. Cloud is great in many cases, however some associated costs can start going through the roof when AI is involved. Would that be a case for having the hybrid setup approach? Is it worth a discussion topic?

Loving your podcast!

I loved listening to this podcast, nice to see you all ❤

Great & Quality Content Mark

👍👏🙏

"technology has surely outpaced the ability of mindsets to change" - what Andrew said summarises the root cause for many of the problems, mindset! Great insight. Change Management can help speed up that transition

Hi bro Are you looking for a professional youtube thumbnails designer?

hi sir i can help you to make your youtube channel,

Though I am listening to this podcast very very late yet it is useful 🙂

Despite of this all call being pretty much bespokely badgered, woith a bit less swearing and alcohol, the point about data and AI. The comment was about crap data in crap results out, there element in Chris' cautiousness as in your AI will be learning on bad data and will have skewed outcomes and will apply them to the data, even the good one, later in the future. It is like trying to learn some sport action technique and learning it incorrectly what often leads to unsatisfactory results or even injury. CONSIDER THAT!!! ;)

Hi Mark! I really appreciate what you are sharing here. Thanks!

Oh the Landing Zone - Sounds like a lot like a Grand design :D

Bread and butter 😄 Nice, I remember I loved that when I traveled to Copenhagen

The podcast/stream that was needed! Should be mandatory viewing for c suite. Great insights, nice one NZ365GUY

The technology triangle/pyramid that has got workloads at the top and the rest below, shows that if you purchase some technology to fulfil the workload alone, it got no base to stand on (unless provided as part of the purchase). Companies, to be more accurate, people that work in companies to this day often purchase apps and very often struggle the the rest that should or comes with it, but have got no clue or interest in platform(s). Purchasing a piece of functional technology for it to work always has to come with underpinnings so that triangle has got a base to stand on. Also, as discussed - the name of the 'Consultant' has been bastardised. many partners send "consultants" to do technology implementation, but not any of the consulting. I often ask nowadays - are you a technology consultant or a business consultant, who's got awareness of technology? Always great to hear you lot speak.

I am not sold yet on Copilots. Too many basic things take longer via Copilot than just doing manually. At the moment it is still an interesting diversion for about 30 minutes, then you close it and go back to work. I understand that Priority #1 was to slap Copilots on every product in sight, but I eagerly look forward to the next pass where they actually add value. It needs to do something for me that I either could not easily do myself, or do it much faster. Not a lot has changed since I wrote this back in June stevemordue.com/microsoft-is-infected-with-ai-as-copilots-consume-all-of-the-oxygen/

Excellent video. One question, when are they coming with App which can be downloaded from App or Playstore and can be used by any consumers just like any app works ?

"nanobots for fat cells" - please somebody invent that!

Mark your point on digital literacy is spot on. In an ideal world, the executive board would set the overall business goals and since technology is so embedded in operations, it would be the board's collective responsibility to answer the questions of what business goals they feel technology can have the most significant impact on, this would pave the way for a well-guided digital transformation journey. The CTO/CIO, with this top-down guidance, could focus on implementation. leveraging enterprise architecture would ensure they select the best technology to address the identified challenges. with such a "trickle down" approach to technology decisions, solutions would likely be more versatile, future-proof and most importantly, deliver higher business value. after all, that's the ultimate purpose of using technology. Our job as consultants should start through influence and education at that board level all the way to delivery and self sufficiency enablement.

Perfect ending CHRIS!!!! hahaha

Love the conversation!!

'Promo sm' 💕

Mark you seem to be obsessed with cutting :) Great chat.
