Agentic AI: Orchestrating Intelligent Operations
This white paper from Harvard Business Review Analytic Services shares real-world examples and practical guidance for scaling Agentic AI operations to deliver measurable, long-term results.
White paper highlights
These five findings underscore that unlocking value from Agentic AI requires more than technology alone—it demands a strategic operating model shift, governance, a new economic model, and delivery capability to scale responsibly and sustainably:
- Organizations often struggle with in-house Agentic AI skills, experience and capacity to scale.
- Success involves moving beyond siloed automation projects to redesigning autonomous enterprise-wide systems.
- Managing the economics of Agentic AI is fundamentally different from traditional IT.
- Governance and human judgment are essential for sustainable adoption and long-term operations oversight.
- Next-generation managed service providers are emerging as critical allies in helping guide deployment, ongoing management and optimization of Agentic AI.
Agentic AI is fundamentally redefining enterprise operations. Yet, many organizations find it difficult to scale from isolated automation pilots to fully integrated, autonomous business systems. Next-generation managed service providers (MSPs), otherwise known as Operate service providers, can play a key role in this shift. By guiding the deployment, ongoing management, and optimization of Agentic AI, they can help organizations address complex challenges like continued cost management, governance, and aligning AI with human judgment, all while helping keep pace with evolving business models.
