In a recent episode of Coffee with John, Mobile Mentor CEO Denis O’Shea explores what organizations must do to successfully adopt AI in the workplace. The conversation examines why many companies are investing heavily in AI but failing to achieve meaningful results, emphasizing that data security, clear business use cases, employee training, and governance are essential prerequisites for long-term success.

Drawing on insights from Mobile Mentor’s 2026 Endpoint Ecosystem Study, Denis discusses the growing gap between AI ambition and organizational readiness. He explains why AI should be viewed as the next major technology interface, how employees with strong AI skills will outperform those without them, and why frontline workers are being left behind in many AI initiatives. The discussion also highlights Microsoft’s approach to enterprise AI with Copilot and offers practical guidance for leaders looking to deploy AI securely while maximizing productivity and return on investment.
