Build a resilient, high-performing organization by integrating agentic AI into strategy, operations, and decision-making. Building an Agentic Organization is a strategic guide for senior technology, AI, and business leaders responsible for delivering value from agentic AI while managing its risks. As organizations move toward human and AI collaboration at scale, leaders must balance innovation with governance, adoption, and long-term economic impact.

Written by experienced AI executive Geoffrey Schaefer, this book provides a comprehensive framework for designing an agentic organization by examining strategy, governance, and economics. It explores how to define the purpose of agentic AI, align it with business objectives, and create the structures needed to support safe, scalable adoption. Addressing both opportunity and risk, it equips leaders to navigate workforce concerns, reputational exposure, and the evolving role of AI agents in enterprise environments.

You'll learn how to: - Define a clear strategy for integrating agentic AI - Establish governance frameworks to manage risk and accountability - Drive workforce adoption and address resistance to AI collaboration - Assess economic value and impact of agentic AI systems - Manage reputational and operational risks from AI agent behavior

Featuring real-world examples from Leidos, JPMorgan Chase, SY Partners, and OMA, this book provides a practical roadmap for embedding agentic AI into the fabric of your organization while protecting value, trust, and long-term performance.
