Making AI work for people with Sylvia Assumpção

"AI - it's not just the buzzword of the year. It's changing us as a society in how we work - and how the world works." AI isn't magic, but a tool we control. How we choose to use it makes all the difference. Sylvia joins Debbie Forster MBE in this episode of the XTech podcast to discuss how AI can solve real marketing challenges, from breaking down language barriers to delivering personalised experiences at scale. Together, they explore the balance between automation and authenticity, and why understanding when to add the human touch matters most. It's a conversation about staying intentional, staying in control, and building AI people can trust.

From data chaos to AI confidence with Adam Harding

"People are trying to hold back the wave. The only thing you can really do is learn to ride it" With every new hype cycle, the noise gets louder. But Adam Harding believes the best teams don't chase trends - they build filters. In this episode of the XTech podcast, Adam joins Debbie Forster MBE to explore how Softcat is helping clients move from AI curiosity to AI clarity. From cultural alignment and clean data to decision principles that cut through the noise, it's about staying focused on what works. The conversation dives into the thinking behind Softcat's first-ever acquisition, the role of creativity in a world driven by automation, and how to stay grounded in a time of exponential change. Because building for the future isn't about doing more - it's about know what's worth doing.

Secure-by-design is a mindset, not a feature with James Hall

"Imagine the worst headline you could read about your product - then build so it never happens." As AI and automation reshape how we build software, security can longer be an afterthought. It's a way of thinking that needs to be embedded across teams, culture, and code. James Hall believes resilient systems start with clear thinking, structured discovery, and engineering habits that stick. In this episode of the XTech Podcast, he joins Debbie Forster MBE to unpack what secure-by-design really means in practice. From open source contributions and observability challenges in AI, to aviation-style checklists and "silly" side projects that teach serious skills, James shares how Parallax blends creativity with rigour to build products that scale safely. He also issues a clear warning: businesses cutting junior developer roles in the name of AI efficiency may be setting themselves up for a major skills gap. If your tech is built to last, your teams - and your users - will feel the difference.

Agentic AI is the future of IT with Dennis Perpetua

"Agentic AI is the biggest thing since the mobile phone." Enterprises are reimagining IT through the lens of agentic AI, elevating it from a back-office utility to a strategic enabler of productivity, experience and innovation.

From the shift from SLAs to XLAs, to building digital co-workers instead of chatbots, Dennis shares how Kyndryl is building on the legacy of IBM to help businesses make AI work for people - not the other way around. He joins Debbie Forster MBE for a conversation that redefines what future-ready IT should really look like.
