Trend Agentic AI becomes the operational frontier organizations are moving on

Summary

Agentic AI is emerging as the next operational frontier that organizations are starting to cross. Consulting research describes the potential of AI agents to transform operations as one of the opportunities currently commanding the most attention. In finance, Deloitte's survey shows the distance still to cover, with only 14% of respondents having fully integrated agents into the function. The report links this to the broader difficulty of moving from pilots to AI embedded in daily operations. It stresses that enabling agents to manage specific tasks is still relatively new ground across industries and functions. Even so, early adopters are opening agentic tools to finance staff and testing them on tasks such as invoice checks.
