AI Adoption as a Competitive Advantage

Mike & Tommy dive into the concept of distributed wisdom—how organizations can connect expertise spread across people and teams so that knowledge shapes decisions beyond where it originated—and explore what that means for Microsoft Fabric and agentic tooling. They tackle whether technology like semantic models, the OneLake catalog, and AI agents can actually carry human judgment across an org, or whether the real blockers are process and culture. From governance guardrails to communities of practice, the conversation surfaces practical first steps for BI teams trying to make collective intelligence real inside Fabric.
