This week’s episode of “Coffee with Digital Trailblazers” focused on the concept of “frontier firms” – organizations that are embracing AI and agents to transform their operations. Key points include:
Effective AI governance requires a holistic approach that aligns strategy, operations, and data/security management, rather than just policy-based controls.
Frontier firms are blending machine intelligence with human judgment, creating AI-operated but human-led systems.
Adopting AI and agents requires careful governance and collaboration across IT, security, legal, and business teams to manage risks and ensure reliable, secure operations.
Leading organizations are using AI agents for tasks like software development, compliance, and customer service – with humans maintaining oversight and control.

Greetings everyone. Welcome to this week’s Coffee with Digital Trailblazers. I’m just going to give this a few seconds to get a bunch of people here and we’ll get started with a very interesting topic with a very interesting guest and just sit tight. This is our hundred, is that right? Hundred 35th episode. Holy cow. Time flies by and I met a whole bunch of new people this week that I’m excited to have on the program and be a part of our community of Digital Trailblazers. If you are here, please do say hello in the common stream and I look forward to this conversation. We’re you going to be talking about from digital leaders to Front Frontier Firm? And I’m going to let our special guest, Neraj Dani, who’s the CEO of net woven, tell us a little bit about that when we get started. We are just waiting for getting a few more people here and then we’ll start with our conversations today.
Hello Gloria. Welcome. Got Derek on here on the common stream. We’ve got Neraj. Who else is here today? Everybody do say hello. I want this to be an open conversation. Hello Dennis. Thank you for joining. You’re all welcome to comment. I will call out some of the comments that I think are useful. We might put some of our comments into the actual whiteboard as we start creating it. Hello Jay. Jay is a good friend, StarCIO member, an X Microsoft. I’m just going to say an ex Microsoft TA copilot experts. Great to see you. Hello Michael. Thank you for joining from Atlanta. Michael, I think you know this, I’ll be speaking on Atlanta. The new date is September 10th. This is an event at the Microsoft Center that net woven is sponsoring and I am very excited to be there. So Michael, if you don’t have the access link to get to that, do let me know.
I’ll make sure you get on the list to be able to come see that program on AI governance in about a little bit over a month. Folks, thanks for joining this week’s conversation from...
