Agentic AI Impact Hindered by Organizational and Data Readiness, ISG Report Finds

According to ISG research, organizational and data readiness remain key barriers to enterprise-wide AI value realization. Enterprises must overcome data unfit for dynamic decisioning and operating models not designed for AI-driven decision velocity. Organizations need to redesign critical processes, rethink workflows, and change data incorporation into workflows to unlock the business potential of AI. Leaders from various companies will discuss their strategies and lessons learned at the ISG AI Impact Summit.

Organizational and data readiness are critical barriers to enterprise-wide AI value realization, according to research from Information Services Group (ISG). Enterprises must address these challenges to unlock the business potential of AI. The ISG AI Impact Summit, set to take place in London from September 10-11, will feature discussions on strategies and lessons learned by leaders from various companies.

ISG's research highlights two foundational constraints: data unfit for dynamic decisioning and operating models not designed for AI-driven decision velocity. To overcome these barriers, organizations need to redesign critical processes, rethink workflows, and change how data is incorporated into workflows.

The summit will feature keynote addresses and panel discussions from leaders in various industries. For instance, Roddy Barnes from Bupa will discuss how the healthcare company is accelerating employee-led innovation with AI, while Emma Di Iorio from Diageo will explore strategies for ensuring data is AI-ready.

The event will also cover practical insights into responsible AI adoption, such as managing data access and ethical considerations, as well as the impact of AI on enterprise/provider partnerships and digital infrastructures. Additionally, entrepreneurs will pitch their AI-driven business innovations at the ISG Startup Challenge.

The ISG AI Impact Summit aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI readiness and its impact on businesses. By addressing the key barriers to AI value realization, enterprises can better prepare for the future and capitalize on the opportunities presented by AI.
