What if your next business team isn’t just made of humans, but also intelligent agents?
In this episode of Mastering AI with the Experts, I sit down with Simon Lacasse, Global Black Belt for AI at Microsoft and author of the white paper Scaling Agents for Enterprise. Simon is part of Microsoft’s SWAT team of AI experts, working with global organizations to bring multi-agent systems to life in real-world production environments.
We go deep into what’s actually changed in the last 12 to 18 months to make multi-agent systems deployable at enterprise scale, and why it’s no longer just research labs or prototypes. It’s happening right now.
You’ll learn:
- What agent orchestration actually means (and why it’s like a project manager for AI)
- Why the real shift isn’t smarter models, it’s smarter ecosystems
- How protocols like A2A and MCP are creating an “internet of agents”
- Why GitHub Copilot is secretly a multi-agent system and what that means for your tools
- How to start implementing multi-agent architecture in your organization without creating chaos
- The biggest misconceptions about cost, complexity, and governance
- Simon’s productivity tips on breaking problems down and avoiding “giant prompts”
Whether you're building agent infrastructure or just trying to keep up with the pace of AI change, this episode will make the architecture and strategy behind multi-agent systems finally click.
