For 2025 the dominate innovation narrative is the AI agent. This third wave represents a fundamental shift from AI that responds to AI that initiates. 

This keynote dives into what makes agentic AI fundamentally different and how this shift will profoundly impact business models, workflows, and competitive landscapes.  We'll explore how intelligent agents will empower enterprises to unlock unprecedented levels of efficiency, innovation, and strategic advantage, from automating processes to enabling entirely new forms of decision-making and problem-solving.  

Business leaders should pay attention because Agentic AI shifts the conversation from "What can AI do for us?" to "How do we work alongside AI that thinks and acts independently?" This isn't just about technology - it is about redefining organisational structures and value creation models. 

Key discussion points include:  

• The What: Understanding the core principles of agentic AI and how it differs from traditional AI systems. Explore how the decision-making capabilities of agents will change organisational structures and workforce. 
• The How: Uncover insights into the development and deployment of agentic AI, including examples from a recent Fortune 100 retail engagement, which implemented AI agents that doesn't just analyse customer behaviour but proactively adjusts pricing, inventory, and marketing in real-time. The result? A 9x improvement in speed to market and eight-figure efficiency gains. 
• The Need-To-Know: The importance of value opportunity mapping and asking "What problems do we need to solve, and what would success look like?" rather than "What can Agentic AI do?"
