From AI to ROI Podcast

Today’s AI tools allow more people to turn ideas into prototypes and products faster than ever. But as the barriers to building products fall, product leaders face a new challenge: ensuring that speed and automation do not come at the expense of judgment, creativity and human connection. 

In this episode of CGI’s From AI to ROI podcast series, host Helen Fang is joined by Jim Wicks, Professor and Director of the Master of Product Design and Development Management program at Northwestern University and the designer behind iconic products including the Motorola Razr, and Mike Hyzy, Vice-President, AI Strategy and Product Development Lead for CGI U.S. CSG.

The conversation examines how AI is reshaping product design and development, where organizations should accelerate and where they should deliberately slow down, and how product roles, teams and skills are beginning to evolve. It also explores what organizations must do to preserve community, culture, critical thinking and the “soul” of product development as AI becomes embedded throughout the product life cycle.

Better Decisions in a Complex World: How Leaders Can Use GenAI, Quantum, and Optimization To Tackle Scenarios That Keep Them Up At Night 

Business leaders are facing increasing uncertainty and must adapt plans quickly as as supply chains, tariffs, and forecasts shift faster than quarterly planning cycles can keep up.

In this episode of CGI's From AI to ROI podcast series, host Helen Fang is joined by Dr. Parimal Kulkarni, Director of AI, Data Science and Machine Learning, Dr. Mariolys Rivas, Senior Data Scientist and Curtis Nybo, Director of AI and Quantum Computing to explore how optimization, GenAI and quantum work together to help leaders make better decisions and what actions they can take today. 

The conversation begins by explaining optimization and the types of challenges it addresses, before exploring how generative AI is making optimization insights more accessible to executives and where quantum computing becomes the engine for solving the most complex, constraint-heavy problems.

Most organizations are measuring AI value the wrong way. While efficiency gains and productivity improvements matter, the leaders who are winning with AI have moved far beyond that conversation and backed it up with action. 

In this episode of CGI’s From AI to ROI Podcast, CGI's Christina Fung, Helena Jochberger, and Andrew Donaher cut through the noise to share what's actually driving competitive advantage in the age of AI, drawing on frontline experience across manufacturing, government, healthcare and financial services.

Learn why so many organizations remain stuck in proof-of-concept purgatory, why efficiency gains alone are not enough to measure AI success, and what leaders must do differently to close the value realization gap.

Building a plane while flying it one thing. But what happens when the blueprint redraws itself every month? That is the reality of software delivery in the age of AI. 

In this episode of CGI's From AI to ROI podcast series (season 2, episode 4), host Fred Miskawi, Vice-President and Global Applied AI Lead in CGI's CTO organization, is joined by Julien Millau, Distinguished IT Engineer and Architect at Michelin, and Kevin Beaugrand, Director, Consulting Expert at CGI. 

They explore what AI in the software development life cycle (SDLC) looks like in practice, not in theory, at Michelin, one of the world’s leading manufacturers. The conversation moves beyond tooling to examine the organizational, cultural and measurement approaches that determine whether AI ambition translates into real business outcomes.

In this episode of CGI's From AI to ROI podcast series, host Diane Gutiw AI Research Center Lead at CGI, is joined by Nicholas Morel from Google and Raghav Kumar from CGI to explore what's behind innovation in enterprise software delivery and why it matters for leaders.

Drawing on real client experiences from industry and large-scale enterprise programs, they examine why most projects struggle to reach production, how the right governance culture accelerates rather than slows innovation and what the shift toward agentic AI means for the future of teams and organizations. This conversation dives into the lessons, mistakes and breakthroughs from both clients and CGI’s own AI journey.

In the second part of this episode of CGI's From AI to ROI podcast series, host Dave Henderson, Chief Technology Officer at CGI, continues his conversation with John Davis and Victor Foulk — moving from strategic frameworks to concrete examples, emerging technology and a closer look at what the future of software delivery may hold.

From a government agency that built a common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) platform in five days, to agentic AI swarms tackling decades of legacy tech debt, to the convergence of AI and quantum computing on the horizon, this episode brings the big ideas of Part 1 into practical focus. Together, they debate whether we are headed for a post-agile world, what meaningful human oversight of AI teams looks like in practice, and what action listeners should consider taking now.
