Deploying Agentic AI

About Programme

This intensive two-day workshop equips executives with both a hands-on understanding of AI agents and the strategic perspective needed to deploy them within their organizations. Unlike generative AI, which relies on a human-in-the-loop, agentic systems treat generative AI as a core cognitive capability within a larger autonomous framework, which can pursue multi-step goals, orchestrate workflows, and execute decisions with minimal human intervention.Structured around the 5A Framework, while having each level deliver distinct business value mapped to the EDGE Framework, the program moves participants beyond conceptual understanding to direct interaction with AI agents, emerging protocols, and real-world deployment scenarios. By the end of the workshop, participants will have gained both hands-on experience with agentic AI tools and a strategic framework for evaluating where to invest, what to pilot, and what to scale.

Programme Objective

Distinguish between generative and agentic AI and articulate the strategic implications of the transition for their organization
Understand the role of context engineering, harness engineering, MCP, and A2A in building effective AI agent systems
Experience different types of AI agents hands-on: administration agents, data analysis agents, and app-building agents
Evaluate the value creation potential of agentic AI and identify where to invest, pilot, and scale within their organization
Design an agentic AI workflow addressing a real business problem, including agent roles, escalation paths, and human intervention thresholds
Assess the governance, regulatory, and security implications of deploying autonomous AI agents, including EU AI Act compliance and agentic liability.
Develop a strategic integration roadmap for agentic AI, addressing workforce transformation, organizational readiness, and change management

Pedagogy

Pédagogy: The 5A Framework structures the learning journey from high human involvement to increasing AI autonomy:

Access: Interaction with foundation models through chats or APIs
Assistants: Domain-specific chatbots grounded in organizational knowledge
Application: AI embedded into single-purpose tools via vibe coding
Automation: AI-powered workflows across multiple applications
Agents: AI systems pursuing multi-step goals with minimal oversight.

Evaluations: Participants will be evaluated on the multi-agent workflow diagram developed during the Design Your Agentic AI Flow session, demonstrating strategic thinking about agent roles, governance, and organizational integration.

Programme Audience

This program serves two complementary profiles:• Executives and directors seeking operational, hands-on understanding of AI agents, tools, and workflows• Senior leaders and C-suite executives focused on the strategic implications of agentic AI, including organizational transformation, governance, and competitive positioning.

No programming experience is required.
