Episode #9
You bought the AI tool. The licenses are live. Is anybody using it? In this episode of The Catalyst, we get into the gap most rollout plans ignore: the difference between deploying a tool and getting people to actually...
Episode #8
The average knowledge worker toggles between apps 1,200 times a day, spends nearly an hour searching for information, and is interrupted every two minutes. AI was supposed to fix that, so why are boardrooms still asking...
The Catalyst by Softchoice
This summer, an AI agent escaped its testing sandbox, crossed the internet, and spent four and a half days inside another company's production servers. Roughly seventeen thousand actions. No human at the keyboard...
Episode #6
Your AI bill just stopped behaving like a software bill. For twenty years, IT leaders got very good at counting seats: buy a hundred, pay for a hundred. Then AI swapped the seat for a meter, and the number stopped...
Episode #5
Almost every machine you can buy today is technically an “AI PC.” Which is exactly why the label can’t tell you what to buy. This episode skips the hype and asks the question IT leaders are actually wrestling with: why...
The Catalyst by Softchoice
If you read the headlines, you'd think nearly every major employer marched its workforce back to the office five days a week. The data says otherwise. And so does the human cost when companies push it anyway. In this...
Episode #3
There’s a quiet crisis running through IT leadership that nobody names in the meeting: the certainty that you’re in over your head, and that any minute now, someone’s going to find out. It comes with the job. And for...
Episode #2
Somewhere in your organization, an AI decision is sitting on someone’s desk right now. Who owns it? In most mid-market companies, nobody does — or rather, it’s landed on the IT leader who was already doing three other...
Episode #1
Every IT leader has a “day one” story. The moment they opened the server closet, logged into the admin console, or reviewed the vendor contracts and realized the job they were hired for isn’t the job they actually have...
Episode #13
After our biggest season ever — nearly 80,000 downloads, a top 2% global ranking, and a documentary-style approach unlike any other show in B2B tech — host Katey Teekasingh is back to set up what's coming next. Season 8...
Episode #12
For decades, building software meant doing eighty percent of the hard work before you had anything to show for it. AI just flipped that equation. And it's creating a risk nobody planned for. In this episode of The...
Episode #11
What got you here won't get you there. For most IT leaders, the path to the top was paved with expertise — knowing the systems, owning the decisions, having the answers. But something happens when that playbook stops...
Episode #10
Every vendor in the industry is slapping the word "agentic" on their roadmap. But, what is agentic AI, really? And should IT leaders care? In this episode, we bring together three voices with very different answers: a...
Episode #9
When David Koopmans' IT manager started sending strange messages to employees, David knew something was wrong. By then, threat actors had been inside his network for 30 days. What followed was a ransomware nightmare...
Episode #8
Multi-cloud used to be a dirty word — something that happened to you through mergers, shadow IT, or teams gone rogue with corporate cards. But the walls came down, the standards converged, and best-of-breed finally...
Episode #7
Everyone's chasing AI. Meanwhile, most organizations are wasting 25-30% of their software budget on tools nobody uses. In this episode, we meet James Malek, Senior VP of IT Infrastructure at Lexitas, who inherited...
Episode #6
AI is transforming education—but not evenly, and not easily. In this episode of The Catalyst, we step inside classrooms, school boards, and districts, navigating the AI revolution with tight budgets, limited staff, and...
Episode #5
Enterprise expectations. Startup-sized teams. And zero margin for failure. Across museums, national parks, retail stores, and nonprofit organizations, mid-market IT leaders are being asked to do more than ever—with...
Episode #4
When mid-market IT leaders call about AI, most ask the wrong question. Instead of “What problem are we solving?” they jump straight to “Which LLM should we use?” — a mindset that helps explain why 95% of AI pilots fail...
Episode #3
937 applications. 42 interviews. 80 days. That's what it took one experienced data scientist to land a job in 2025—and he's one of the lucky ones. In this episode of The Catalyst, we follow two tech professionals...
