Agentic AI Reality Check: Systems, Scale, and What’s Next

Agentic AI is showing up in a lot of roadmaps and headlines — but for most enterprises, the real question isn’t what it is, but how to make it work.

This isn't about trying to "hype" the next big thing or even “get past the hype.” Instead, our speakers Pierre Mitchell, Chief Research Officer at Spend Matters, A Hackett Group Division, Art Clarke, former AI product platform lead at Apple and Nitin Kapoor, VP Global Procurement COE at GSK have a grounded the discussion in practical realities: what agentic AI actually is, how it operates (logically and operationally), and what needs to be in place before it can be tested — let alone scaled — in enterprise environments.

What's Covered:

• A “plain English” breakdown of what Agentic AI is and isn’t
• How early adopters are starting ... and then scaling
• Why orchestration — not agent design — is the real systems-level challenge
• How agentic AI is creating new roles, not just augmenting or replacing existing ones
• Lessons from the field: What’s working, what’s not, and what to watch for

Enterprise leaders in IT, operations, procurement, or transformation roles — if you’re looking to understand the real mechanics (and implications) of Agentic AI — this conversation is for you.
