  Improving Patient Outcomes: The AI Opportunity in Commercial Pharma

  Sep 17, 202631 minS5

  In this episode of Enterprise Alchemists, Dominic Wellington and Jeremiah Stone are joined by Greg Higgins, Strategy and Business Development Leader at ALLOT, a company focused on agentic AI for commercial pharma. Greg brings four decades of pharmaceutical industry experience to a conversation about why AI is simultaneously one of the most promising and most frustrated technologies in healthcare right now. The discussion covers why pharma has more AI pilots running than anyone knows what to do with — and why almost none of them are making it to production. The culprit, Greg argues, isn't the technology. It's governance, guardrails, and the unglamorous work of business process re-engineering that has to happen before AI can do anything useful. From the emergence of direct-to-patient pharmacy models like Lilly Direct, to a detailed case study in IVF treatment access and health inequalities, to the UK's MHRA already deploying AI for drug assessment — this is a conversation that takes AI out of the abstract and grounds it firmly in the mechanics of how healthcare is actually delivered, funded, and regulated.

  From Billable Hours to Business Outcomes: How AI Is Rewriting the Rules of IT Consulting

  Sep 3, 202637 minS5

  In this episode of Enterprise Alchemists, Dominic Wellington and Jeremiah Stone are joined by Aleks Memca, founder and managing partner of IWConnect — a SnapLogic partner and technology consultancy specializing in AI solutions, enterprise integration, and custom software development. Aleks brings a ground-level perspective on what AI is actually doing to the professional services business model. He describes a fundamental shift underway at IWConnect: embedding AI agents directly into service delivery, moving from time-and-material billing towards outcome-based pricing, and using rapid prototyping to compress the messy front end of project delivery — the part where everyone argues about scope — into days rather than months. Recorded in Bitola, Macedonia at IWConnect's headquarters, the conversation covers the cultural gap between European and US attitudes to AI adoption, the competitive dynamics facing mid-sized consultancies, and why Aleks believes the key to surviving this moment isn't moving faster — it's knowing which direction you're going first.

  From Legacy to Living: How AI Is Reinventing the Modernization Playbook

  Aug 20, 202636 minS5

  In this episode of Enterprise Alchemists, hosts Dominic Wellington and Jeremiah Stone are joined by Kate Shaw, Lead Product Manager at SnapLogic, to explore one of enterprise IT's most stubborn and costly challenges: modernizing the integration systems that quietly hold entire businesses together. Kate draws on decades of experience in information systems to unpack why modernization is fundamentally different from migration — and why the tribal knowledge, missing documentation, and accumulated hotfixes baked into legacy platforms make these projects so uniquely perilous. Together, the trio explore how SnapLogic's SLIM (SnapLogic Intelligent Modernizer) uses agentic AI to do in hours what once took teams six to eight months: illuminating what a legacy system is actually doing, documenting it with accuracy, and charting a path to what comes next. From offshore drill ships that drift beyond recognition to COBOL systems still powering global enterprises in 2025, this conversation reframes the modernization conversation entirely — less a technology swap, more an act of enterprise archaeology.

  How Context-Driven Integration Powers the Agentic Enterprise

  Aug 6, 202634 minS5

  In this episode of Enterprise Alchemists, hosts Dominic Wellington and Jeremiah Stone are joined by Darshan Shah, Enterprise Integration Architect at Cognizant, for a candid and technically rich conversation about what it actually takes to move AI from experimentation into production. Darshan draws on frontline experience across energy, utilities, banking, and insurance to unpack how legacy modernisation has evolved from a back-office IT exercise into a business-critical enabler of AI investment. He introduces his concept of "context gravity" — the idea that agents should be deployed where the context of the role already lives — and explores how a choreographed multi-agent architecture can decode, document, and ultimately replace decades of undocumented integration knowledge. From the S in MCP to the end of the FOMO chapter, this is a conversation that maps the road from hype to enterprise-grade reality.

  Vibe Coding, Visual Programming, and the Expanding Human–Digital Interface

  Jul 23, 202627 minS5

  Hosts Dominic Wellington and Jeremiah Stone open this season of Enterprise Alchemists by going straight at the hype. Is vibe coding the death of low-code, no-code — or is the programming surface just getting bigger? In a conversation that moves from C++ and assembler to LLMs and coding agents, the duo make the case that every wave of programming innovation has expanded access, not erased what came before. Discover why visual interfaces still win on explainability and collaboration, why 'Describe this pipeline' became the enterprise's most-asked AI question, and what Conway's Law has to do with the Mythical Agent Month.
