Not every organization gets to “move fast and break things.” In regulated industries, the momentum behind tech modernization must be balanced with mission, risk, and public trust. How do you walk that line?

Hosted by Stuart Brown, Guidehouse Global Technology Leader, The GuideLine tackles that question through candid interviews with both the regulated and the regulators: industry executives managing complex systems, public sector innovators shaping oversight and mission outcomes, and senior technologists translating requirements into architecture. Together, they unpack what’s changing as AI and other emerging tools move into the daily operations of high-accountability enterprises.

The focus stays practical: what to build, what to scale, and what to rethink. Expect a mix of big-picture strategy and technical depth, along with actionable advice for those moving fast, but carefully, with today’s tech.

Moonshot first, then tools: The way to AI value

Monday May 11, 2026

AI value doesn’t start with tools. It starts with a clear ambition for how work should change. In this episode of The GuideLine, recorded at the Microsoft Government BizApps + Copilot Summit, Stuart Brown sits down with Ryan Cunningham, Corporate Vice President of Power Platform at Microsoft, to explore why the biggest blocker to AI impact is often not technical at all. It’s organizational.

Stu and Ryan unpack what it takes to turn AI ambition into operational value. They discuss why the best starting point is a concrete problem worth solving, rather than the next shiny technology, why culture can often be the biggest barrier to progress, and why AI can be especially powerful in regulated industries as a force for greater consistency and lower risk. Along the way, they make the case that AI can’t sit with one specialized team anymore and why, for most organizations, this is still the beginning of the AI journey.
