In this episode, Michael Jung and Jess Williams unpack McKinsey’s latest report, “Seizing the Agentic AI Advantage,” which explores the growing gap between generative AI adoption and measurable business impact. The conversation dives into the “GenAI paradox,” where companies embrace AI tools, but struggle to turn them into real ROI.

The hosts explore how agentic AI, intelligent agents that proactively drive tasks, decisions, and collaboration, might be the key to breaking through. But unlocking that value means more than tech upgrades. It requires rethinking workflows, leadership, and governance from the ground up.

Is your organization ready for the shift from copilots to autonomous agents?
