Everyone's adopting AI. That's not the story anymore. The story is about who has the guts to cannibalize their own model before someone else does. @ritesh_idnani, MD and CEO of @firstsource, with @pfersht on the latest episode of From the Horse's Mouth.

"Productivity gains aren't AI value. Redeployment is." That's the line from @Accenture's @Manish_sharma on the latest From the Horse's Mouth podcast with @pfersht. Most enterprise AI programs look great on paper and deliver nothing to the P&L. About a minute with Manish, below. Full episode here: piped.video/8JIPBcaKSZw?si=pjA_… @pfersht, @saurabh_hfs

Day 2 sessions explored moving beyond pilots, measuring real value, and preparing for Industry 5.0 + Physical AI. The HFS Hot Tech Showdown brought live pitches from @covasant_tech, @kognitos_inc, @KnowledgeLake, @OrbitShift_AI & @lyzr__ai, with enterprise leaders voting on the most disruptive AI innovations. The morning closed with @Cognizant CEO @imravikumars and @pfersht on why AI transformation requires structural reinvention, not incremental change. More Day 2 highlights soon.

Day 1 of the HFS Spring Summit 2026 is complete. The focus throughout the day was clear: the gap between AI ambition and enterprise reality is closing fast, and leaders can no longer afford to sit on the sidelines. From @pfersht opening keynote on rebuilding operating models for an AI-first economy to candid conversations on governance, outcomes, token-based economics, and what it takes to scale AI across the enterprise, the discussions pushed far beyond the usual AI talking points. We also heard from @edels0n on how Gen Z is reshaping attention, trust, and decision-making, adding another important dimension to how leaders think about relevance and communication in a changing market. Stay tuned for day 2.

Our CEO, @pfersht, sat down with @akkodis_global CEO @JoDebecker to discuss a shift every services firm is feeling but few are truly acting on. From moving beyond headcount-driven delivery to building AI-led, outcome-based models, Phil and Joe talk about what takes to rethink digital engineering in the AI era. If you’re still measuring value in FTEs, you’re already behind. 🎥 Watch the full conversation: lnkd.in/gWHRpWVq @pfersht, @saurabh_hfs, @ram_hfs, @AshVenkatesan, @JoDebecker hashtag#AI hashtag#DigitalEngineering hashtag#EnterpriseAI hashtag#FutureOfWork hashtag#DigitalTransformation hashtag#Innovation
