According to our report, implementation is often stalled by two primary concerns:
Download the report for a step-by-step playbook to mitigate these risks through improved process discipline and governance.
While the hype is high, our research found that only 46% of organizations currently have at least one agentic AI solution in live production. A major roadblock is “leadership dissonance”—more than half of respondents noted that while their leaders publicly praise the technology, they struggle to articulate a specific, clear business need for it.
The report outlines four critical pillars for successful operationalization:
Process discipline: Identifying exactly where an agent adds value versus where it adds noise.
Data integration & governance: Solving the 65% “security gap” by establishing strict data access protocols.
Cross-functional collaboration: Aligning IT, security, and business units to ensure the agent serves the end-user effectively.
Operationalization: Moving beyond “one-off” experiments to a scalable framework.

The research shows we are at an “inflection point.” While many organizations are hitting early pitfalls, the report highlights that “forward-thinking” leaders are now moving away from simple chatbots toward workflow-integrated agents. Success in 2026 depends on leveraging “trusted human expertise” to guide the autonomous decision-making process.
While generative AI focuses on content creation and responses, our report defines agentic AI by its ability to act within a workflow. It focuses on the technology’s “transformative value” in executing multi-step tasks autonomously, which requires a much higher degree of data governance and process mapping than standard GenAI tools.
Yes. GLG connects you with independent experts who have used or implemented specific AI platforms, providing unbiased “user-perspective” insights that help you avoid costly missteps.
Stop experimenting. Start executing.
