Drag & Drop

Are enterprises actually building AI… or just reacting to it?
In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down with Ingo Paas to discuss what’s really happening beneath the surface of enterprise AI, platform strategy, and modern software delivery. 
From leading large-scale transformation at Green Cargo to authoring A Billion Times Smarter, Ingo brings a rare perspective on how organizations move from legacy complexity to composable, scalable systems and why most still misunderstand the problem they’re trying to solve.
This isn’t a conversation about tools. It’s about how enterprises think, decide, and build in the age of AI. 
They discuss:
Why most enterprise teams start with the wrong problem 
The shift from buying software → continuously solving business problems 
How low-code platforms change the relationship between IT and the business 
Why platform ecosystems matter more than individual tools 
The hidden risks of AI adoption, especially around control and decision authority 
What “governance” really means when systems operate at machine speed 
Why “human in the loop” may already be an illusion 
How decision power is quietly shifting from people to systems 
What enterprises must do to stay in control as AI scales 
This episode goes beyond the hype.
Because the real challenge isn’t adopting AI, it’s building systems you can actually understand, govern, and trust.

How does AI actually work inside real enterprise development?

In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down with Mendix MVP Neel Desai to explore how AI is being used inside low-code platforms and why low-code may have been built for AI all along.

As organizations race to adopt AI, many are stuck between traditional development, low-code platforms, and a new wave of AI tooling. But the real shift isn’t just about building faster… It’s about building systems that are structured, governed, and scalable.

Neel shares insights from working directly with enterprise teams, building his own AI tools, and helping developers move from experimentation into real-world delivery.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

- Why low-code platforms are naturally suited for AI-assisted development 
- The difference between AI copilots and real enterprise AI usage 
- Why AI doesn’t need to start from scratch inside structured platforms 
- The risks of AI in development, including hallucination and loss of control 
- Why governance, security, and architecture still matter in an AI-first world 
- How developers are starting to build and control their own AI tools 
- Why enterprises are struggling to choose between AI and low code 
- How AI is changing the role of developers, not replacing them

The conversation is shifting.

From building applications faster…to building systems you can actually trust.

What does the future of developers look like in the AI era?
In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down with Kris Lande, Chief Marketing Officer at OutSystems, to explore how AI is reshaping software development and why community is becoming the real competitive advantage. 
As organizations race to adopt AI, the conversation is shifting from building apps faster… to building intelligent systems that actually scale. And at the center of this shift? Developers, ecosystems, and the communities that support them.
Kris shares insights from her experience at Salesforce and now at OutSystems, where she’s focused on building one of the most vibrant global developer communities in enterprise AI.
What you’ll learn in this episode: 
Why AI isn’t replacing developers, it’s expanding the role 
How developers are evolving into system orchestrators across platforms 
Why community is now the fastest way to learn and adopt AI skills 
The difference between marketing software vs building an ecosystem 
How champions, MVPs, and advocates drive trust in enterprise technology 
Why platforms must create career pathways, not just tools 
How OutSystems is positioning itself in the AI era 
The challenge today isn’t access to AI.
It’s knowing how to use it in real-world environments with the right skills, governance, and support.
And increasingly, that learning isn’t happening in traditional education.
It’s happening inside communities.

AI adoption is accelerating.

But for most enterprises, the challenge isn’t access to the technology; it’s making it work in reality.

In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan speaks with Eleni Kelly, CIO and transformation leader, about what’s really happening inside organizations as they try to operationalise AI.

This conversation goes beyond tools and trends, focusing on the underlying factors that determine whether AI delivers value or stalls - from data fragmentation and legacy systems to decision-making, ownership, and organisational readiness.

In this episode, we cover:

- Why many AI initiatives struggle to move beyond pilot
- How inconsistent data impacts AI outcomes
- The role of enterprise architecture in supporting AI at scale
- The hidden complexity behind deploying and running AI models
- Why decision-making frameworks matter more than ever
- Where platforms like OutSystems fit into modern enterprise delivery
- How developer responsibilities are shifting in an AI-driven environment
- What guardrails are needed as systems become more autonomous

If you’re working within a complex organization and trying to turn AI into something practical, this episode offers a grounded view on what it actually takes.

AI is changing how software is built.
But inside enterprises, there’s no longer a single way to develop or deliver.
In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan speaks with Howard Miller, CIO of the UCLA Anderson School of Management, about how AI is reshaping enterprise development, and what it actually takes to move from experimentation into real delivery within a higher education environment.
From the rise of tools like Claude to platforms like OutSystems, this conversation explores how modern enterprises are combining multiple technologies to stay agile, reduce technical debt, and modernize legacy systems.
In this episode, we discuss:
 Why there’s no longer one way to build in the enterprise 
 How AI is changing the way organizations approach development 
 Why flexibility and a multi-tool strategy is becoming essential 
 How platforms like OutSystems support modernization and reduce technical debt 
 The importance of choosing the right first use case 
 Why development fundamentals still matter in an AI-driven world 
 The challenges of adoption inside higher education environments 
Whether you’re a CIO, developer, or enterprise leader, this episode offers a real-world perspective on AI, enterprise architecture, and the future of software development.
