𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗔𝗜: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 The autonomous organisation represents the next frontier in business transformation, moving beyond advanced analytics, piecemeal AI, and single-function automation. We are on the precipice of true organizational “self-driving” capabilities which will redefine business models and economies. While many enterprises still struggle with basic AI implementations, leading organisations are poised to introduce intelligent systems that can sense, decide, perform, interact, and adapt across entire business functions at digital speed. Drawing parallels with the evolution of autonomous driving, Douglas Laney will define the seven levels of agentic AI – from early-stage chatbots to full business self-awareness and execution – and share new technology providers and business executives can prepare for this imminent inevitability. Douglas is a renowned thought leader and advisor on data, analytics, and AI strategy. He is a best-selling author, as well as a featured speaker and business school professor. Laney has been recognised repeatedly as a top-50 global expert on data-related topics and is a three-time Gartner annual thought leadership award recipient. He originated the discipline of infonomics – recognising and treating data as an actual economic asset. Laney continues to focus on helping organisations and their leadership innovate with and optimise the value of their data assets. 📅 March 27th at DATAfestival #Munich 👤 Speaker: Douglas Laney | Data, Analytics & AI Strategy Advisor | BARC Research & Advisory Fellow More information here: https://hubs.li/Q036X77X0 #AgenticAI #DATAfestival #wAItnomore
