Why Agentic AI Is Now the Hardest – and Most Valuable – Decision on Your Leadership Agenda

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Agentic AI has moved from concept to board-level agenda. Leading firms such as McKinsey, Bain & Company, and Accenture converge on the same message: value will come from agents that execute end-to-end workflows under tight governance, not from scattered copilots. The competitive window is narrowing as peers begin to institutionalize shared agent platforms, Human–Agentic Workforce models, and board-ready control frameworks championed by Deloitte, PwC, and Gartner. This brief distills cross-firm intelligence on platforms, workforce, business models, ROI, and sector use cases, and frames the decisions you need to orchestrate and de-risk over the next planning cycles.
