The DEX Show: A Show for IT Change Makers

Fresh off another standout Gartner Digital Employee Experience Magic Quadrant, the DEX Show takes a (hopefully) well-earned victory lap with Nexthink analyst relations leader Andrew Robertson. Andrew joins Tom, Oriana, and Dina to unpack Nexthink’s continued leadership position, the widening gap between the company and the competition, and what Gartner’s latest MQ and Critical Capabilities reports reveal about the evolving DEX market. The conversation explores AI innovation, customer advocacy, community-building, and how Nexthink continues to shape the future of digital employee experience.

Plus, a preview of Experience 2026 in Orlando and reflections on what makes Nexthink’s culture, momentum, and customer community so unique.

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.

In this Reality Bytes special, Tom and Oriana welcome Nexthink’s Head of Global Talent Success, Gabi Tofani, to explore how AI is reshaping workplace culture, learning, leadership, and employee experience. From measuring AI adoption and building curiosity-driven cultures to the risks of “AI slop,” homogenized thinking, and performance reviews written by bots (for bots), the conversation examines what organizations might gain (and lose) as AI becomes embedded in daily work.

Plus: vibe coding, AI Eagles, and the curious case of the disappearing em-dash.

Luis Suarez, CTO at H.I.G. Capital, joins Tom to discuss how technology leadership is evolving from operational support to business enablement in the age of AI. Drawing on more than two decades at the global investment firm, Suarez explores AI as an "equal opportunities disruptor," the growing convergence of CIO and CTO responsibilities, and why IT must become the department of "how," not "no." The conversation also dives deep into the relationship between Digital Employee Experience (DEX) and AI transformation, examining how visibility, observability and proactive remediation help organisations accelerate adoption, measure value and move toward self-healing IT operations.
