As AI-powered tools—from agentic browsers to enterprise copilots—rapidly reshape how consumers search, learn, and buy, leaders are being forced to rethink not just their tech stack, but their teams, processes, and expectations. With 92% of companies planning to increase AI investments while only 1% consider their deployments mature, a clear disconnect emerges between AI excitement and actual implementation readiness. And as organizations rush to adopt advanced technology, the real differentiator is becoming clear: the companies that invest equally in people, skills, and adaptability are the ones best positioned to turn AI potential into measurable performance.

So the central question for any business leader becomes: How do we adopt transformative technologies while still staying unmistakably—and effectively—human?

Welcome to While You Were Working, brought to you by Rogue Marketing. In this latest episode, Managing Partners Chip Rosales and James Loomstein sit down together to unpack the biggest themes shaping marketing, technology, and leadership today. From the rise of agentic browsers to the future-ready skills organizations must cultivate, this conversation charts a path for leaders navigating rapid change.

What you’ll learn…

Agentic browsers shift search from “ranking” to “being selected.” Chip and James explain how content now must be structured so agents—not just humans—can validate, trust, and execute against it, fundamentally changing digital strategy.

AI should support the business, not build it. Rather than boiling the ocean with AI adoption, the partners argue for deploying AI in targeted ways—especially around voice of the customer, efficiency gains, and forward-looking insights rather than backward-facing analysis.

The future of talent is a blend of technical literacy and human skill. System thinking, curiosity, and lifelong learning emerge as the most critical (and most underdeveloped) skills for thriving in an AI-driven world—paired with a baseline “technical floor” for everyone, and a “technical ceiling + soft skills” for technologists.

James Loomstein is a marketing strategist and Managing Partner at Rogue Marketing, where he helps mid-market CEOs and CFOs drive growth by fixing systemic issues in their marketing systems. With 25+ years of experience across B2B marketing, digital strategy, CRM, and go-to-market planning, he specializes in aligning sales, marketing, and leadership around clear frameworks that tie performance to the P&L. He also serves as an adjunct professor at SMU’s Cox School of Business, teaching digital strategy and entrepreneurship through practical, operator-level frameworks.

Chip Rosales is a results-driven marketing leader and Managing Partner at Rogue Marketing, known for building bold, integrated marketing programs that align brand strategy with business outcomes. With deep expertise across brand development, digital strategy, customer experience, and communications, he has led marketing and global branding initiatives for major organizations including EDS, Pegasus Solutions, and Crown Partners. His career is defined by uniting technology, creativity, and strategic execution to strengthen brands, accelerate growth, and help organizations defend and maximize their marketing spend.

Intune's Windows 11 26H2 security baseline won't update existing profiles on its own

Intune's Windows 11 26H2 security baseline won't update existing profiles on its own

Microsoft's Windows 11, version 26H2 security baseline is now available in Intune. Existing baseline profiles don't move to it automatically. Admins have to create a new profile or update an old one, so how fast the new defaults reach devices depends on each organization's review of customized settings.

  • 01The Windows 11 26H2 security baseline reaches a managed fleet only when an admin creates a new profile or moves an existing one onto it, so each organization's change process sets how fast it's adopted.
  • 02Tenants with heavily customized baseline profiles carry most of the work: new defaults and revised guidance have to be checked against settings someone changed on purpose.
  • 03The NetBIOS setting will show up in a later baseline update once it's supported on in-market Windows and in the Settings Catalog. Plan on more than one baseline review this cycle.

Hammond tells MSPs to pick a vertical and one problem

Hammond tells MSPs to pick a vertical and one problem

N-able Head Nerd Stefanie Hammond lays out a 10-step growth playbook for MSPs that have built spare capacity, starting with one industry and one problem and a 100-account target list. She argues MSPs have a sales problem more than a lead problem, and points to her go-to-market accelerator program, with classes starting in November.

  • 01Hammond starts with revenue targets, then one industry and one problem, then a 100-account list split 20, 30 and 50.
  • 02Hammond says MSPs have a sales problem more than a lead problem: find where proposals stall and whether the right decision makers are in the room before paying for more leads.
  • 03The Dream 100 name traces to a case Chet Holmes International describes: 167 of 2,200 newspaper advertisers bought 95% of the ads, and the first close took five months of mail and calls.
