While most organizations have AI experiments that look promising in isolation, far fewer have decided how AI will be developed, governed, and funded across the entire organization. Agentic AI raises the stakes further by reshaping roles, recruitment, strategy, and the technology stack while changing how work is divided between people and systems. These are leadership-level decisions, not choices made pilot by pilot. The real challenge lies in the operating model, the structures, ownership, and ways of working that transform AI capability into sustained business value. Our guest speakers Henri Schildt, Professor of Strategy at Aalto University; Tuukka Koskinen, Co-Founder and Partner at Supervoima Solutions; and Sameli Mäenpää, Founder and CEO at Black Belt Consulting, will discuss the requirements of an AI operating model for strategy, people, governance, and technology. This raises questions that every leadership team must answer:
• What separates an AI experiment from an AI operating model
• How agentic AI reshapes strategy, roles, and management work
• What changes in recruitment, competence development, and career paths when agents do part of the work
• Who owns AI development, governance, and maintenance, and where that responsibility sits in the organization
• What leadership teams should decide now, and what can wait
