Why Attend?
Full Overview
As companies scale their AI investments and deploy AI agents, there is increasing pressure on technology and finance executives to prove business value. Firms expect to deploy an average of 1,661 agents by 2027, according to IBM’s Tech Leader Study; however, only 11% feel fully prepared to operate them at scale.
The high costs associated with broader agentic AI adoption raises complex questions around companies' investment priorities, how they can control operational expenditure and deliver returns, as well as the governance AI agents will need. As AI is deployed across different business functions, it becomes harder to track spending, set common priorities and assess ROI. Finance, IT and operations teams will have to align on metrics and roadmaps to connect technology spending with business goals.
What do leaders need to make smart agentic AI investment decisions and set their organisations on the path to ROI? What should companies have in place before expanding their use of agentic AI? How can cross-functional collaboration improve oversight, accountability and cost visibility?
This webinar, hosted by the Financial Times in partnership with Apptio, an IBM company, examined how C-suite and business leaders can prepare their companies for wider use of agentic AI. It considered how to assess investment, manage costs and governance, and establish clearer accountability across the organisation.
