Agentic AI is already reshaping how work gets done, and the biggest risk for CIOs isn't failure, it's falling behind.

In this episode of ThinkCast, Gartner VP Analyst Brandon Germer explains why scaling agentic AI can't be done in silos, and how CIOs must co-lead with other C-suite members to build the financial, operational, and governance foundations for enterprise-wide impact.

You'll learn:

  • What it takes to scale AI beyond isolated use cases into enterprise-wide systems
  • How to align the CIO, CFO, COO and CHRO around shared outcomes
