When does an activity belong on the high end of the agentic potential scale?

There are two correct answers.

When the activity involves structured, rule-based processes that don't require human intervention

When the activity is dynamic and decision-rich, requiring adjustments based on context

When the activity has fixed steps that are predictable and unchanging

When the activity primarily involves manual data entry

When the activity requires handling unstructured and variable information

What key benefits should participants consider when automating processes with agentic technology?

There are two correct answers.

Enhanced operational complexity

Improved speed and consistency of task execution

Replacement of all employee tasks

Greater satisfaction due to reduced manual effort

Increased frequency of errors

What are key considerations when identifying activities for agentic automation?

There are three correct answers.

Complexity: activities with high complexity, including multiple steps and exceptions, might be better candidates for agentic technology than simple, single step ones.

Consistency: activities that are always performed in the same way, following clear rules, should be preferred for an agentic solution.

Variability: activities with unpredictable flows that change based on the situation are better candidates for agentic technology than activities where the steps are always the same.

Need for human-like judgement: agents can support activities that rely on weighing options, analyzing information, or checking multiple sources to decide next steps.

Duration: activities that take a long time to be completed might be better suited to agentic technology than activities of a short duration.
