Description

In this episode, Matt and Mervyn dig into why so many workplace transformation efforts fall flat — even when the tech is great and the strategy seems sound. Drawing from real-world lessons at Accenture, our guest reveals the missing link: adoption. From confusing deployment with true behavior change to underestimating the role of managers, we unpack what it really takes to make transformation stick in today’s AI-driven world.


In Points & Pints, the hosts tackle two big stories shaping the workforce: how AI is reshaping jobs faster than expected, and why Stripe’s head of AI says she’s hiring more new grads than ever — but fears a looming mentorship crisis.


Then, in Trending or Ending, the crew debates whether virtual interviews are officially on their way out.
