If 2025 was the year of trial and error, 2026 is the year of scaling. This means a shift from siloed, carefully monitored pilots to applying Agentic AI to REAL, messy, and deviating legacy processes. This is where most AI projects fall down. In fact, Gartner recently predicted that over 40% of Agentic AI projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027!
This means to succeed; you not only have to choose the right technology (differentiating from real Agentic AI to those just “Agent-Washing”), but you also need to ensure strategic alignment, data readiness, and change adoption.
In this webinar, our expert speakers dig into their thousands of hours of AI experience to discuss their non-negotiables for ensuring your AI projects succeed.
