    500. AI as a Leadership Mirror

    On the Transform Now Podcast, host Michael Marchuk welcomes returning guest Tonille Miller, a leadership strategist and executive advisor, to discuss her new book Flourishing From Within about leading change in the AI era. Miller argues AI doesn’t replace leadership judgment but reveals it, amplifying existing patterns around trust, clarity, courage, and accountability while democratizing data and reshaping leaders’ roles. She explains why AI creates heightened fear and resistance, especially amid broader geopolitical uncertainty and public layoffs, and emphasizes transparency, psychological safety, guardrails, workflow redesign, and co-creation with employees as keys to adoption. Miller critiques “token maxing” as a lazy metric and urges outcome-based measures tied to strategy, along with monitoring burnout signals and prioritizing human-centered capability and identity shifts. She concludes AI demands a new, less transactional leadership contract that nourishes well-being and elevates uniquely human skills. What we talked about: - AI as Leadership Mirror - Fear and Empathy in Change - Manifesto and Psychological Safety - Beyond Token Metrics - Burnout and Workflow Redesign - Fast Tech Slow Humans - A New Leadership Contract Tonille's books: Flourishing From Within: https://www.amazon.com/Flourishing-Within-Reclaiming-Thats-Actually/dp/B0GXBHG23T The Flourishing Effect: https://www.amazon.com/Flourishing-Effect-Unlocking-Performance-Competitive-ebook/dp/B0GTZKCZRJ Visit us on our socials: 🦾 Get started with SS&C Blue Prism: https://okt.to/JcMLdU 🧑‍💻LinkedIn: https://okt.to/k8zIdp ✖️Twitter: https://okt.to/fHyd9G 🙋‍♀️Facebook: https://okt.to/Vyjfiz 📸Instagram: https://okt.to/5nYvIf 💭Blog: https://okt.to/QuGqVP 🤩Case studies: https://okt.to/ft1AMX To ensure that you never miss an episode of Transform NOW, be sure to subscribe!

    498. AI Agents in Manufacturing: From Decision Support to Autonomous Execution

    On the Transform Now podcast, host Michael Marchuk interviews Renan Devillieres, founder of OSS Ventures, about applying AI (especially agentic systems) in manufacturing and supply chains. Renan shares his background in operations and tech, and explains why most AI deployments are “old processes with new tech,” arguing instead for redesigning workflows around AI. He describes cases where autonomy is limited by missing data and undocumented human heuristics, citing examples where 40–60% of decision data isn’t in systems and where planners relied on hundreds of unwritten rules. He outlines a practical approach: automate first, learn what’s missing through iteration, then change the organization to capture gains. The conversation covers cultural transparency, leadership, reshoring economics, Tesla’s industrialization model, the advantages of family-owned manufacturers, and why successful adopters focus on a few high-impact AI initiatives that materially move the P&L. -Beyond Point Solution AI -Autonomy and Data Gaps -Capturing Tribal Knowledge -Jobs Culture and Trust -Leadership and Disruption -Reshoring and Gigafactories -Scaling AI for Mid Market -Family Firms and Long View -Transparency and Fast Change Visit us on our socials: 🦾 Get started with SS&C Blue Prism: https://okt.to/JcMLdU 🧑‍💻LinkedIn: https://okt.to/k8zIdp ✖️Twitter: https://okt.to/fHyd9G 🙋‍♀️Facebook: https://okt.to/Vyjfiz 📸Instagram: https://okt.to/5nYvIf 💭Blog: https://okt.to/QuGqVP 🤩Case studies: https://okt.to/ft1AMX To ensure that you never miss an episode of Transform NOW, be sure to subscribe!
