AI-Native Strategy & Agentic Workflows Playbook

Redesigning operating processes around autonomous AI agents, not just adding AI tools to existing workflows

  • Executive
  • Advanced
  • Template Included
Overview

A framework for identifying which operating processes are genuinely suited to agentic AI redesign — autonomous, multi-step task execution — versus which just need a simpler AI-assisted tool, and building the governance agentic workflows require.

What makes a workflow "agentic" rather than just AI-assisted?

An AI-assisted workflow has a human executing steps with AI support at each one. An agentic workflow has an AI system autonomously executing a multi-step process — deciding what to do next, using tools, and only escalating to a human at defined checkpoints — which requires different process design and governance.

Is this the same as the Strategy for AI-Native Enterprises Playbook?

That playbook diagnoses whether AI changes your fundamental cost curve or competitive position. This one is more operational — once you've identified an AI-native opportunity, this playbook helps redesign the actual workflow around autonomous agents rather than bolting an assistant onto the existing process.
