In Episode 2 of Change Agents, hosted by Suja Chandrasekaran and powered by Pando, we sit down with Nitin Jayakrishnan Co-Founder & CEO of Pando and Paul Daugherty, former Group Chief Executive of Technology & CTO at Accenture, bestselling author of Human + Machine and Radically Human, and one of the most respected voices in enterprise technology. After nearly four decades leading Accenture’s $40B+ technology business and 400,000 technologists worldwide, Paul offers a rare vantage point on how AI is reshaping enterprises in real time:

• From hype cycles to hard value: Why this wave of generative and agentic AI is fundamentally different from past transformations.
• The $10T opportunity: How AI could touch every role, reshape 40% of jobs, and unlock sustained productivity growth.
• Stack realignment: The tug-of-war between foundational models, horizontal platforms, and domain-specific applications.
• The talent edge: Why the differentiator won’t be your AI models, but how your people use them.
• Responsible AI as governance: Why boards must treat AI with the same discipline as compliance and risk management.

The takeaway is clear: the next decade will be defined by leaders who move beyond experimentation, close the trust gap with their people, and make AI a leadership and governance priority, not just a technology bet.
