IN-HOUSE EXECUTIVE SEMINAR · 60 MINUTES · FREE

Agentic AI and What Comes Next for Your Organisation

When AI moves from answering to doing, the first thing to change is not the tooling — it is the workflow and who gets to decide.

A seminar built for managers and technical leaders. We turn the AI supply chain — from silicon and open models through to embodied robots — into language a decision-maker can judge and act on. The focus is what Agentic AI actually does to org structure, workflow and career paths, rather than yet another tool.

Three questions this seminar helps executives answer

Once AI starts taking part in real work, companies have to rethink how processes are arranged, how responsibility is divided, and which capabilities the team needs to build. Drawing on our work with companies in Dubai and Taiwan, we focus on three management questions.

How is Agentic AI different from the AI tools we had before?

AI’s role is moving from answering questions and generating content to breaking tasks down, calling systems and carrying out multiple steps. Executives need to understand how far it can go, and to set permissions, checkpoints and the moments where a person steps in.

Which work suits AI, and how should people’s responsibilities change?

Tasks with clear processes, complete data and results that are easy to verify are the ones to evaluate first. Cross-department coordination, exception handling and significant decisions need an explicit division of roles and accountability. The point is to review the work item by item, then decide how to redistribute it.

What should my team be preparing now?

Start by taking stock of whether the conditions are in place: data quality, process documentation, system access rights and acceptance of results. Then clarify: who may authorise AI to act? Who reviews the output? When something goes wrong, who handles it?

Sixty minutes, from understanding the trend to judging the next step

The standard agenda is below; it can be adjusted to your industry and audience.

00–08 min

Why AI needs a fresh look now

How AI moving from content generation to task execution changes the way a company is managed, and the conditions most often overlooked before adoption.

08–20 min

Reading the AI supply chain and your investment options

From silicon and foundation models through open-source ecosystems to enterprise applications and physical robots: the role, cost and dependencies of each layer, so executives can weigh buying, building, or continuing to watch.

20–36 min

How Agentic AI changes process, organisation and talent

Three things: how tasks are redistributed, how decisions and accountability are set, and which capabilities the team needs to fill in — connecting the technology to the management problems executives face every day.

36–48 min

A practical case: where it gets hard between idea and execution

Combining project experience in Middle East financial services with exploratory AI work in Urban Air Mobility: how data selection, process design, business rules and models work together — distinguishing what has been implemented, what is still being validated, and what remains a concept.

48–56 min

Seven questions to ask before approving an AI project

A decision checklist to take back to the company, covering business goals, data conditions, success metrics, cost, accountability, risk and stop conditions, to help executives judge whether a proposal is worth pursuing.

56–60 min

Live Q&A

Discussion of the questions your company actually faces; anything not covered can be answered after the session.

How Agentic AI actually works

The difference between answering and doing is what sets it off, and whether it comes back round on its own once finished.

FOUR WORKING LOOPSFrom user-triggered to goal-driven, scheduled and self-starting

Different triggers, the same core capability — but a very different range of work it can carry.

01Turn-based

Trigger: a user prompt

Request
Understand context
Do the task
Return the result

↻ Waits for the next prompt

02Goal-driven

Trigger: a goal condition

Set the goal
Act
Evaluate
Iterate until met

↻ Stops only when the goal is met

03Scheduled

Trigger: a schedule or interval

Start on time
Do the task
Log the result

↻ Waits for the next cycle

04Self-starting

Trigger: an event, state or queue

Detect the event
Classify and diagnose
Handle it
Review

↻ Updates state by itself

Turn-basedSomeone asks

Goal-drivenRuns until the goal is met

ScheduledRuns on time

Self-startingDetects, then handles it

Most companies are still on turn-based only. Getting lasting value from AI means moving the right processes into the other three.

Who is this seminar for?

Business owners and business-unit leaders

For owners, general managers, business-unit heads, CTOs and technology leaders — clarifying where AI applies, in what order to invest and what the risks are, as a basis for the next decision.

HR and learning & development leads

For teams planning executive training and cross-department learning. Content grounded in real practice gives managers a shared language and a concrete discussion to have afterwards. No specific tool is promoted.

Chambers of commerce, industry associations and business-park networks

For organisations whose members are mainly owners and senior executives — suitable as a keynote at a regular meeting, breakfast event or members’ gathering, to open up discussion of AI adoption and management.

Scope of the seminar and follow-up

The content and arrangements are set out up front, so the host can assess them and explain them internally.

Focused on enterprise AI and digital transformation: no YUDA software or service is demonstrated or sold at any point.
Tool-neutral: no specific AI tool, model or cloud platform is promoted; where a product is mentioned, its applicable conditions and limits are given alongside.
Not a degree admissions session: doctoral study has its own separate briefing, which interested attendees can look into afterwards.
Not about property or residency planning: neither business is within the scope of this seminar.
A follow-up channel is kept open: we ask the host to obtain attendees’ consent to share their name and contact details, so questions can be answered or an interview requested where needed, with the purpose explained in advance.
