* note - the podcast starts 30 seconds into this file - In late August, Jon returned to the CRMKonvos hot seat for an open discussion of what's working in enterprise AI, and what's not. Top of the agenda: what about the gap between high performing enterprises, and all other AI adopters? Can it be closed? Why are enterprise CEOs often less clued into real AI success than the CIOs and CFOs that work for them? Why does the architecture around AI make such a difference? The audience had questions for Jon also - this sets up another great AI debate with Michael Wu on CRMKonvos in October. See the full CRMKonvos video collection on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@crmkonvos.

Yep, it's that time, the enterprise month in review is upon us. Special guest Tim Crawford will give his strong take on where CIOs are going wrong - and what the best CIOs are getting right. You co-hosts, Brian Sommer and Jon Reed, will have their underrate enterprise stories of the month - and Brian's infamous slide deck will have its share of surprises. As always, the audience is a jugular part of the show so bring you savviest and smartest commentary...

And now for something completely different! Let's have a live look at Analyst Relations disruptions - via a feedback session on AI-generated content on how AR needs to change. I generated this content from my own research and analysis - but did AI get it right? What went wrong? How can all of us - including analysts - serve customers better when they need an open, year round dialogue like never before? Joining me will be independent analysts Bonnie Tinder and Josh Greenbaum. I'll get their unscripted reactions to this collateral, some of which is quite edgy, but does it reflect our views? Where did AI go wrong, and where can data and analytics help us make changes in our industry? Join us and let's hear your reactions also. Note: you may want to see the visuals for these slides. If so, check the YouTube replay for easy scrolling through the visuals, https://youtube.com/live/nqD9jWEF0UQ. AD FREE CONTENT REVIEW REQUEST - this may be the longest running enterprise podcast and it has never had ads or sponsors, and never will. If you're weary of podcast ads and sponsor announcements, and love the kind of unscripted/unsponsored content as much as I do, consider leaving me a positive review, it's shocking how much of a difference this makes in bringing in more listeners. Thanks - these podcasts are for the community... always will be.
