This sentiment was powerfully captured in a recent conversation between Tony Surma, Chief Technology Officer, Microsoft Enterprise Partner Solutions and Francois Rouxel, Snr Director, Cloud Enablement, Slalom., where they explored what it truly means to become a &#8220;Frontier Firm.&#8221;<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u201cThere are two kinds of companies &#8211; those who use AI and those who\u00a0don\u2019t. And the ones that don\u2019t will be left behind.&#8221; &#8211; Francois\u00a0Rouxel<\/span><\/i><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This quote\u00a0sets\u00a0the tone for a compelling discussion that dives into the three foundational pillars for any organization aspiring to lead at the frontier:\u00a0<\/span>culture,\u00a0technical capability, and\u00a0training (skilling).<\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Culture: The Art of What&#8217;s Possible<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Francois emphasizes that becoming a frontier firm starts with\u00a0mindset.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0about fostering a culture that encourages curiosity, experimentation, and a belief in the art of\u00a0what&#8217;s\u00a0possible. AI is not just a tool\u2014it\u2019s\u00a0a catalyst for reimagining how work gets done, how decisions are made, and how impact is delivered.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Capability: Why Use AI?<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The conversation moves into the strategic imperative of AI adoption. Organizations must ask themselves not just\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">how<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0to use AI, but\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">why<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">. The answer lies in driving real impact\u2014whether\u00a0that\u2019s\u00a0through improved customer experiences, operational efficiencies, or unlocking new business models. Technical capability is no longer optional;\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0essential.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Skilling: Training at Every Level<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">One of the most resonant themes in the video is the importance of skilling. Francois underscores that training must be democratized\u2014accessible to every role, every level. From executives to frontline employees, everyone needs to understand how AI can augment their work. Microsoft\u2019s investment in partner skilling through the AI Cloud Partner Program is a testament to this commitment.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Partners can take advantage of:<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learningpath.microsoft.com\/8468\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program Foundational Learning Path<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hcm41.sapsf.com\/sf\/learning?destUrl=https%3a%2f%2fmicrosoftlmsap2%2elms%2esapsf%2ecom%2flearning%2fuser%2fdeeplink%5fredir\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Specializations and Designations<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/learning\/ai-driven-learning-and-upskilling-building-your-personalized-learning-guide?dApp=204528272&amp;leis=\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">AI-Driven Learning and Upskilling<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li data-leveltext=\"\uf0b7\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"2\" data-list-defn-props=\"{&quot;335552541&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:720,&quot;335559991&quot;:360,&quot;469769226&quot;:&quot;Symbol&quot;,&quot;469769242&quot;:[8226],&quot;469777803&quot;:&quot;left&quot;,&quot;469777804&quot;:&quot;\uf0b7&quot;,&quot;469777815&quot;:&quot;hybridMultilevel&quot;}\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/learningpath.microsoft.com\/11017\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">Azure Cloud &amp; AI Associate\/Expert Certification<\/span><\/a><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span data-contrast=\"none\">Watch the Conversation<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134245418&quot;:true,&quot;134245529&quot;:true,&quot;335559738&quot;:160,&quot;335559739&quot;:80}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">To hear more from Tony and Francois, watch the full video conversation.
