We are at a turning point. Most enterprises are still conflating Generative AI with Agentic AI, treating chatbots and autonomous action-taking systems as interchangeable. This misunderstanding is creating a dangerous gap between AI ambition and genuine organisational readiness. This session delivers a practical, research-grounded framework for enterprise teams navigating the shift to autonomous AI. Drawing on emerging global standards, real-world deployment patterns, and the EU AI Act regulatory landscape, it introduces the Three Pillars of Agentic AI Readiness: Technical Architecture, Workforce Adaptation, and Governance. We examine how organisations are structuring multi-agent systems that execute complex workflows while keeping humans meaningfully in control and where governance frameworks are succeeding in regulated industries such as financial services and healthcare. This is a practitioner-level session. You will leave with a structured approach to identifying your first high-impact, low-risk agentic AI pilot, and a clear framework for assessing where your organisation stands today. The shift to AI autonomy is already here. The question is whether your organisation has a plan.
