Enabling agent-first process redesign
Summary
AI agents (autonomous systems that learn and adapt to execute workflows without constant human direction) work best when organizations redesign their processes around them rather than adding them to existing systems. Companies need to shift to an 'agent-first' model where AI agents handle routine operations while humans set goals and handle exceptions, requiring machine-readable process definitions and structured data flows to succeed.
