In Episode 30 of the Guardians of M365 Governance, Joy, Ragnar, and Christian welcome Alan Cox, a fellow M365 MVP and independent AI and governance consultant, to discuss why organizations need separate AI governance and AI enablement functions to successfully scale adoption. Together, they explore the tension between risk management and innovation, and why treating these responsibilities as the same job often leads to poor outcomes. The panel examines lessons learned from SharePoint, Teams, and Power Platform deployments, and how those experiences apply to today's AI initiatives. They also discuss the growing impact of agentic AI and what organizations must do now to build an operating model that balances control, adoption, and business value.
