The adoption of #agentic systems introduces a new dimension to the delegation of authority. When a system moves beyond merely generating a response to updating records, routing cases, or triggering workflows, its autonomy must be a deliberate business decision. The level of agency should align with the impact of each process, supported by clearly defined limits, oversight, and accountability. In this article, Maxim Bjarnason, AI Research Associate at Quantum Rise, discuss how to structure this delegation and introduce the "Agency Stack," a framework for evaluating the authority granted to agentic systems. ⬇️ Download to read the full text. ⬇️

Proud to partner with CrossCountry on AI for the OCFO, a hands-on workshop designed to turn AI adoption into real outcomes for Finance, Accounting, and Risk teams.

While 72% of organizations* have already adopted #artificialintelligence in at least one business function, only 6%** are capturing transformative value from that investment. This gap is often attributed to the technology itself, but the data points elsewhere. The challenge lies in an organization's ability to prepare its #workforce to use #AI strategically and integrate it effectively into the way work gets done. #AIadoption requires new #skills, new approaches to decision-making, greater data fluency, process redesign, and a clear understanding of how to translate these capabilities into business value. Not surprisingly, an estimated 70%** of AI's impact is tied to human and organizational factors such as strategic alignment, behavior change, and operating model evolution. This raises an increasingly important question for business leaders: is your organization investing only in AI adoption, or also in the capabilities required to turn that investment into measurable outcomes? 💡 Build the AI capability your organization actually needs.

The new issue of Human+Machine Magazine is now available! 🚨 https://lnkd.in/dgExbumk When we launched the first issue, the discussion was focused on the gap between AI's potential and organizations' ability to scale it. The challenge now is understanding who takes responsibility for the #transformation, how it should be conducted, and what it takes for it to happen consistently and responsibly. From this perspective, the new issue of Human+Machine brings together analyses from Quantum Rise's #leadership, exploring different dimensions of AI-driven business transformation. ➡️ Find In this this issue: - Leadership, and what AI transformation demands of CEOs and their organizations; - Governance, with a discussion on the difference between ethics initiatives that merely check a protocol box and those that truly protect the organization; - Industry Transformation, and AI's role in the evolution of command centers and performance management; - Change management, showing the impact of AI when it actually changes what people do in their own roles; - Finance, with the evolution from a control function to a more strategic role and the advance of agentic AI; - Commercial strategy, discussing how AI can identify opportunities that traditional targeting models miss. 💡 Visit the Human+Machine page on the Quantum Rise website to explore the articles in this issue and download the full magazine > https://lnkd.in/dgExbumk #Magazine #DigitalMagazine

The event is a key reference for anyone looking to understand where the market is heading.    💡 Learn more about the event: https://lnkd.in/gS8G8JTk 

Technical expertise remains essential for #CFOs, but it is no longer enough to keep pace with a role that is becoming increasingly strategic and #AI-driven. The #financeprofessionals best positioned for the future will be those who combine financial expertise with critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and the ability to evaluate, validate, and apply AI-generated recommendations responsibly. As intelligent systems become part of financial analysis, risk management, and decision support, creating business value will depend less on the technology itself and more on people's ability to use it with sound judgment, strong governance, and a business-oriented mindset. With this perspective in mind, CrossCountry Consulting and Quantum Rise have joined forces to launch AI for the Office of the CFO, a program designed to prepare Finance, Accounting, and Risk professionals for the challenges of this new reality. ➡️ Learn more about the initiative: https://lnkd.in/dDDbGUci #partnership

When it comes to #AItraining, the conversation often begins with AI literacy. While that is an important first step, it represents only one part of the capabilities organizations need to develop in order to generate value from AI. At #AIAcademy, we structure our programs around #fivecompetency domains that support capability building in a systematic and sustainable way. Many training initiatives focus primarily on the first domain. However, long-term value creation depends on developing all five in parallel. Which of these areas represents the greatest capability-building opportunity in your organization today? ➡️ Learn more about AI Academy here: https://lnkd.in/gb968VJh
