The DEX Show: A Show for IT Change Makers

Rising device costs, new AI workloads and changing employee expectations are forcing organizations to rethink how workplace hardware is managed. Scott Pope, Director of Value Advisory Customer Outcomes at Nexthink, returns to explore how DEXOps is replacing rigid three- and four-year refresh cycles with performance-based decisions grounded in experience data. He discusses device telemetry, AI readiness, sustainability, refurbished hardware and the emergence of “Total DEX” across laptops, mobile devices, virtual desktops and meeting-room technology. The conversation reveals why hardware lifecycle management is becoming a strategic business priority, and how DEX teams can reduce costs while improving performance and employee experience.

Phil Kirschner returns to The DEX Show to explore how AI is reshaping work far beyond productivity gains and chatbot hype. From hybrid work and organizational silos to employee experience and the future of jobs themselves, Phil argues that leaders must rethink how work is designed—not just automate existing processes. We discuss why most change initiatives fail, what AI means for workplace strategy, how organizations can overcome resistance to transformation, and why the companies winning with AI are often those that mastered remote-first ways of working. A provocative conversation about the next era of work, leadership, and organizational design.
