Agentic Operating Model
Defines how organizations redesign decision rights, controls, and workflows when AI agents execute scoped work.
Agentic Operating Model
A design approach where autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents are treated as first-class operational actors.
Prerequisites
- • Workflow decomposition
- • Human-in-the-loop controls
An agentic operating model reframes work from tool usage to orchestration.
Key properties:
- Clearly bounded agent responsibilities
- Explicit escalation paths to humans
- Policy and telemetry as runtime controls
- Versioned prompts, tools, and safeguards
Without this model, teams often run pilots that cannot survive compliance, reliability, or accountability reviews.
