Future of Engineering: from vision to roadmap

In part two of our Future of Engineering conversation, Keith Williams, EVP & CTO at Capgemini Engineering, and Akshat Vaid, Partner at Everest Group, shift from defining the future of engineering to tackling the real challenge: how to get there.Building on the “nirvana” vision introduced in part one, this episode dives into the practicalities of road‑mapping and execution in a world where technology, macro‑economics, and geopolitics collide. Keith and Akshat explore what it takes for engineering leaders to translate ambition into action - designing resilient architectures, scaling AI responsibly, and creating knowledge-management systems that capture decades of organizational insight.They also talk about the evolving role of major engineering tool vendors, the rise of AI‑led development, and how principle‑driven leadership helps teams deliver the now while preparing for what’s next.If part one mapped the horizon, part two gives you the compass.Guests: Keith Williams (EVP & CTO, Capgemini Engineering); Akshat Vaid (Partner, Everest Group)Host: Brian DohertyProduction & Realization: Brockhill Creative Ltd.
