1. Communication
People and agents need clear roles, context, handoffs, and collaboration norms so work remains legible.
Research and advisory for agentic work
Leading work across humans and AI agents.
Agentic Management Institute helps executives develop the language, practices, and judgment needed to manage work across humans, AI agents, tools, and workflows.
The first public effort from the Institute is the Agentic Management Initiative, a practical conversation about the management discipline now forming around agentic work.
The Agentic Management Stack
The first framework from the Agentic Management Initiative names four layers executives need to manage as agentic work becomes more common.
2. Governance
Trust, accountability, review rules, and escalation paths need to be designed before the work scales.
3. Capability
Leaders need a practical understanding of what agents and tools can do, where they fail, and where judgment belongs.
4. Feedback
Agentic systems need learning loops that surface what is working, what is breaking, and what should change next.
Questions from the field
Executives do not need another abstract AI debate. They need practical questions that help teams make better decisions.
What work should stay human?
When should an agent stop and escalate to a person?
How much autonomy should agents have in different workflows?
What new review habits will leadership teams need?
How do we know whether the whole system is getting better?
