Agentic AI Demystified for Leaders
Trusted by Industry Leaders for Delivering Cutting-Edge, AI-Driven Solutions That Drive Success.
abstract
Artificial Intelligence, including the emergence of Agentic AI, is advancing at a pace few organizations have previously experienced. New models, platforms, and ambitious claims appear almost weekly, creating an environment that is dynamic, complex, and often difficult to navigate. For many leaders, the issue is no longer whether AI is accessible, but how to interpret the noise and determine a disciplined path forward.
In this rapidly evolving landscape, AgenticAI marks a meaningful progression beyond Generative AI. While Generative AIfocuses on producing content, Agentic AI extends those capabilities by reasoning through objectives, planning multi step actions, validating outcomes, and executing workflows aligned with enterprise goals.
In this session, we demystify Agentic AIfrom a business and architectural perspective. We move beyond hype to explain how goal driven AI agents operate within governed environments, orchestratetools, interact with enterprise systems, and deliver measurable outcomes across functions such as Procurement, Finance, HR, Sales, and Shared Services.
The session will clarify the distinction between prompt driven automation and workflow aligned Agentic execution. We will also examine the architectural foundations required for responsible deployment, including governance, integration, evaluation frameworks, and human oversight.
Participants will leave with a clear understanding of how Agentic AI can transform operational workflows while preserving compliance, transparency, and executive control.

Akshay Deshpande
Akshay Deshpande is a senior AI leader withdeep expertise in enterprise Artificial Intelligence strategy, Agentic AIsystems, and large scale digital transformation. As Senior Director of AI at Soothsayer Analytics, he leads the design and deployment of enterprise grade AIsolutions across manufacturing, energy, retail, healthcare, finance, and education sectors.
Akshay has extensive experience building scalable AI architectures that integrate data engineering, machine learning, Generative AI, and Agentic orchestration within governed enterprise environments. His work focuses on transforming fragmented workflows intointelligent, auditable systems that drive measurable business impact.
He has guided CXOs, technology leaders, and operational teams in operationalizing AI responsibly through structured frameworks that balance innovation, compliance, and long term sustainability.
Key Takeaways
This session is designed to providepractical clarity, not just conceptual understanding. Participants will learnhow to:
- Clearly distinguish between Generative AI pilots and true Agentic AI workflow execution.
- Identify 2 to 3 high impact workflows within their own function that are suitable for Agentic automation.
- Evaluate whether their current data and system landscape is ready for Agentic AI deployment.
- Design guardrails, human oversight checkpoints, and governance controls from day one.
- Structure a phased roadmap to move from proof of concept to production grade deployment.
- Measure ROI beyond cost savings, including cycle time reduction, error reduction, anddecision consistency.
- Avoid common failure points such as over automation, poor integration, and lack ofexecutive alignment.
Participants will leave with a clear actionframework to assess readiness, prioritize use cases, and initiate responsibleAgentic AI implementation within their organization.
