Pathways to 'Yes': Building Consensus
Use these stories to illustrate the practical benefits and address potential concerns proactively. By showing "what good looks like," you can build enthusiasm and secure buy-in from stakeholders, operational teams, and leadership for similar forward-thinking initiatives.
The diverse capabilities showcased in these vignettes are envisioned to be powered by a sophisticated, multi-agent AI system. This conceptual framework, referred to as the "Nine Circles of Holo-Org Agents," illustrates how different specialized AI components could work in concert to provide governance, security, augmentation, and empowerment.
Understanding this underlying model can provide deeper insight into the feasibility and structured approach behind the "agenticAI. It's ok!" vision.
