Agentic AI & The Operating Model Shift

Strategy and transformation leaders
HR and operating model owners
CFOs questioning ROI beyond the quarterly lens
Governance, risk, and union representatives
Anyone redesigning how decisions get made
If you’re responsible for structure, power, accountability, or value creation — this room is for you.
What to Expect
A keynote that challenges assumptions.

We’ll explore:
This panel examines the real organizational consequences of agentic AI the gap between expectations and reality.
We’ll discuss how agents create new work, reshape decision-making, shift power dynamics, and introduce new dependencies across operations. The conversation also addresses delayed trust, executive accountability, and how agentic setups are explained to financial and labor stakeholders.
At its core, this is about redesigning organizations with the assumption that agents are permanent.
This is a candid conversation about trust, governance, value, and organizational redesign in the age of agentic AI.
