EXECUTIVE ROUNDTABLE: OD AGENTÓW DO EFEKTU: JAK ZMIENIĆ AUTONOMIĘ AI W WARTOŚĆ BIZNESOWĄ

Agenci AI mają pomóc organizacjom przejść od „AI, które odpowiada” do „AI, które wykonuje pracę”. Sama autonomia nie tworzy jednak wartości. Wartość pojawia się dopiero wtedy, gdy agent rozwiązuje istotny problem, korzysta z dobrych danych i działa w jasno określonych granicach. Stawką nie jest wdrożenie agentów, ale wybór zadań i decyzji, w których ich działanie przełoży się na wynik firmy. Podczas CIONET Executive Roundtable, przygotowanego wspólnie z Wonderful i Deloitte, skupimy się na kluczowym wyzwaniu dla CIO: jak przejść od pojedynczych zastosowań agentów AI do modelu, który wspiera ważne procesy biznesowe i daje mierzalny efekt. W dyskusji porównamy doświadczenia i wskażemy obszary o największym potencjale. Przyjrzymy się też decyzjom, które trzeba podjąć, zanim agenci zaczną działać szerzej w organizacji: od wyboru procesów, przez dane i integracje, po odpowiedzialność, kontrolę i skalowanie. Porozmawiamy m.in. o tym: Gdzie agenci AI mogą odciążyć organizację nie tylko z pojedynczych zadań, ale z całych sekwencji działań? Jak określić granice samodzielności agenta: kiedy powinien rekomendować, kiedy uruchamiać działanie, a kiedy wymagać akceptacji człowieka? Jak przygotować środowisko IT na agentów działających między aplikacjami, danymi i zespołami? Jak zapewnić przejrzystość działań agentów: kto wie, co agent zrobił, dlaczego i z jakim skutkiem? Jak zarządzać portfelem inicjatyw agentowych, żeby energia organizacji nie rozeszła się na kilkanaście niepołączonych pilotaży?

Embark on a culinary journey through the ever-evolving world of digital leadership with our third edition of the CIONET Cookbook: Recipes for Digital Success. Unveiling the intricate trilemma faced by today’s Master Chefs, our trailblazing European CIOs address a challenge at the nexus of customer interests, digital transformation strategies, and IT modernisation. Their secret? Synchronising the gearing between customer, business, and technology to create a frictionless movement through the digital landscape.

The CIONET Cookbook uses the analogy of a five-star restaurant to explain the importance of optimally integrated technology, with the CIO as Master Chef. In order to provide the best service to its customers, a top restaurant must have the right atmosphere, an inviting menu, a well-equipped kitchen, talented and committed front-of-house and kitchen staff and smooth-running processes that ensure an enjoyable experience for diners.

The Discipline Gap What Agentic AI Is Really Revealing About Enterprise Organisations

The conversation technology leaders are having about agentic AI is not quite the one they think they are having. The surface debates concern governance frameworks, talent acquisition, and adoption pace. What keeps surfacing underneath is more awkward: a gap between what organisations can picture and what they can actually deliver. That gap has less to do with technology than most of the discussion assumes.

Proving Technology Value in the Age of AI

Enterprise organisations appear increasingly willing to sanction meaningful budgets for projects led by cloud transformation, platform modernisation and – most notably – artificial intelligence (AI). That’s the good news. But with financial commitment comes greater accountability and increasingly difficult questions. Among those questions are these: when your board asks what AI is actually costing, do you have a credible answer? And can you identify the value that is likely to follow?

Unlocking business value of Cyber Security

In today’s increasingly digital and interconnected world, cyber security has become a critical business imperative. Organisations face a growing array of cyber threats that can disrupt operations, damage reputations, and result in significant financial losses. As cyber risk continues to evolve in complexity and scale, effectively communicating the business value of cyber security to executive leadership is essential—especially in an environment of challenging budgets and competing priorities. The purpose of this study was to assess how cyber security leadership is articulating the business value of cyber security to senior decision-makers. Through interviews with a diverse group of organisations, the report explores how cyber risk is assessed, how budgets are allocated, and how cyber maturity is developed and communicated within the business context. It also examines the emerging impact of artificial intelligence on cyber risk and investment decisions. By analysing current practices and future expectations, this report provides a comprehensive overview of how cyber security leaders are navigating the complexities of demonstrating value, securing resources, and advancing capabilities. The findings highlight the need for pragmatic, flexible approaches that balance ambition with feasibility, enabling organisations to build resilience and protect business value in an increasingly complex cyber landscape.
