As AI accelerates, many organizations are realizing that the old rules of strategy no longer hold any weight.

In this episode of Edge of IT, Jonathan Gough is joined by Kree Govender, SMB Canada Lead at Microsoft, and Jonathan Real, Solution Architect at Pellera Technologies, to explore what AI readiness looks like when change is constant. Together, they unpack why long-range roadmaps are breaking down, and why the organizations pulling ahead are the ones creating adaptable strategies, faster feedback loops, and better paths from idea to execution.

The conversation also digs into how to encourage AI experimentation without losing control. From shadow AI and psychological safety to governance, guardrails, and data readiness, Kree and Jonathan offer a look at how leaders can move faster with AI while still staying secure.
