What If Your Next Team Wasn’t Human?—Evolving Leadership in the Agentic AI Era

The pressure on leaders to incorporate AI into their business has never been higher. Despite their best efforts, 85 percent of AI projects fail. But that is rarely just because of technology. Between unrealistic expectations of what AI can do, isolated science projects turned into money pits, and employees looking for clarity on how AI influences their jobs, learning how to successfully introduce AI into your organization can be difficult. Getting it right on the second or third attempt is not an option. Spanning strategy, stakeholder management, collaboration, culture, ethics, data privacy, risk management, and technology, this session covers the key aspects that leaders need to keep in balance—and get it right on the first try.

• Agentic AI is set to take center stage in the industry with AI labs building the foundational capabilities and software vendors incorporating it quickly into their platforms and applications. But what does it mean when AI takes on more complex tasks? How will this adoption happen and how can technologists lead this new way of working?
• Just like during the previous Machine Learning and Generative AI hypes, business leaders are compelled to find quick wins for this new technology. But in their rush to adopt Agentic AI, missing critical steps and aspects is inevitable (again): Aligning AI with their business strategy, managing change, and taking a responsible approach to AI.
• Between hype and hope lies the potential of Agentic AI to drive meaningful business impact. From single agents to departmental multi-agent systems, inter-departmental and inter-company agent systems, the progression towards increased autonomy and automation is already happening. Business and technology leaders need to collaborate with each other as well as their teams to ensure that the results that Generative AI and Agentic AI systems generate are timely, accurate, and valuable.
