Episode notes
Agentic AI Reimagines Whole Processes
- Agentic AI enables reimagining entire end-to-end business processes, not just optimizing isolated capabilities.
- This reimagination impacts operating models and interactions with consumers and employees.
Align Four Enablers First
- Ensure four enablers converge: people/culture, operating model, data/AI, and technology.
- Without all four, process reimagination with AI will not succeed.
Data Products Replace Siloed Datasets
- Data strategy shifted from internal-only datasets to combining internal, external, structured and unstructured data as enterprise domains.
- Treating data as reusable data products increases interoperability and unlocks greater value.
