IDC and Neo4j Roundtable
Planning for Agentic AI : How Enterprise Leaders Are Defining Adoption Strategies
In Partnership With
Overview
As enterprises look beyond chatbots toward more autonomous AI systems, leaders are under growing pressure to define where agentic AI can deliver measurable value and how to adopt it responsibly. While the opportunity is significant, many organisations remain constrained by fragmented data environments, limited context for AI models, and the challenge of operationalising AI beyond pilot stages.
Emerging approaches that prioritise connected, context-rich data are already demonstrating measurable impact, with organisations reporting 44% fewer AI model hallucinations, 31% improved model performance, and faster, more responsive decision-making. At the same time, leading adopters are achieving tangible business outcomes, including 230% ROI, $4M in average annual benefits, and significant gains in speed and productivity.
This exclusive, invitation-only executive roundtable will bring together CIOs and senior IT leaders to focus on IDC research on AI, connected data, and graph intelligence. The session will explore what distinguishes scalable, production-ready strategies from early-stage experimentation, and how organisations can improve accuracy, transparency, and business impact as they move forward.
