    Beyond Copilots: Why Agentic AI Could Finally Deliver on the GenAI Promise

    In this episode, Michael Jung and Jess Williams unpack McKinsey’s latest report, “Seizing the Agentic AI Advantage,” which explores the growing gap between generative AI adoption and measurable business impact.

But unlocking that value means more than tech upgrades. It requires rethinking workflows, leadership, and governance from the ground up.
