AI used to chat. Now it’s starting to do the work.

In this episode of Optimise to Innovate, Alex and Jason step back from the agentic AI hype and ask what happens when organisations actually start running this stuff at scale, because one agent is interesting, but a thousand agents is an operating model...

We explore the real-world challenges behind agentic AI, from governance, control planes and non-human identities, to trust, explainability, token costs and FinOps.

We also tackle a bigger question - if agents take on more entry-level work, how do we build the experienced people we’ll still need in five or ten years’ time?

A practical, honest and occasionally sci-fi-adjacent conversation about where AI is heading, what organisations need to think about now, and how to separate the signal from the agentic AI noise.

Vibe coding promises a tempting idea. Describe the app you want, let AI build it, and suddenly anyone can become a creator!

Building something that works is one thing, but building something you can trust is another...

In this episode, Alex and Jason are joined by Gio and Jacek to explore how non-developers are using AI to build apps, automate annoying tasks, and turn domain knowledge into working software. They unpack what vibe coding actually is, why “prompt and pray” only gets you so far, and how a more structured approach can turn AI from a clever toy into a genuinely useful collaborator.

For anyone who has an idea, a problem to solve, or a recurring task they would love to automate, this episode might be what encourages you to stop waiting and start experimenting.

We're back with a question every business should be asking right now:

Are you oversubscribed?

We're joined by Julian Kuiper and Robert Whyte to unpack the increasing challenge of SaaS sprawl. Whether it's hidden subscriptions, shadow IT, overlapping tools, or a myriad of other reasons, the uncomfortable truth is that many organisations are paying for far more software than they realise.

Subscription software can be both a huge advantage and a serious management headache. If you've ever looked at a software bill and thought “hang on, what even is this?”, this one is for you!
