How Agentic AI is Reshaping Competition
Most conversations about AI focus on productivity and automation. But a more profound shift is underway. Agentic AI systems—networks of specialized AI agents that can plan, reason, coordinate, and act toward business goals—are beginning to function less like tools and more like digital teammates.
As these systems mature, they are enabling organizations to develop products faster, test ideas more quickly, acquire customers more efficiently, and scale with fewer resources. The result is a new generation of AI-native companies that are reshaping the competitive landscape—and raising important questions for established organizations.
In this HBR webinar, Vivian Lee, executive fellow at Harvard Business School and Linda Mantia, COO of Manulife, will explore how agentic AI is changing the way work gets done and what leaders need to do to prepare. They will also discuss:
