Many organizations are still treating AI as another productivity tool.
Jeetu Patel believes we're entering an entirely different operating model for business.
In this episode of Digital Storm Weekly, we sat down with Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer at Cisco, to discuss why AI is no longer about chatbots or automation, but about managing digital coworkers that fundamentally change how organizations operate.
One of his strongest messages:
You won't lose your job to AI. You'll lose it to someone who uses AI better than you.
Drawing on Cisco's experience deploying AI across a 90,000-person organization, Jeetu explains why enterprises need to rethink workflows, leadership, infrastructure, and trust if they want to compete in the AI era.
Some key insights from Jeetu:
• AI agents should be treated as digital coworkers, not software tools • Every employee will increasingly become a manager of AI agents • Guardrails and trust matter more than intelligence alone • Organizations must redesign workflows instead of simply adding AI to existing processes • AI should expand ambition, not just improve efficiency • The companies moving fastest are the ones willing to experiment early
If you're leading AI strategy, digital transformation, or enterprise technology, this conversation offers practical insights into what AI adoption actually looks like inside one of the world's largest technology companies.
