Platform Strategy in the Age of Agentic AI

This document is a report that discusses the evolving landscape of platform strategy in the context of agentic AI. It outlines the necessity for organizations to reinvent their platforms to meet the demands of modern business and the capabilities of AI. The report identifies two primary forces driving this change: the transformation of work through AI and the increasing business demands that traditional platforms cannot meet. It emphasizes the importance of aligning AI, platform, and business strategies, as only 18% of companies report full alignment. The report also presents five key priorities for organizations to adopt in order to build an AI-ready platform strategy. These priorities include architecting for the future, designing a fit-for-purpose foundation, articulating the interplay between systems, preparing for operating model reinvention, and transforming organizational culture. The findings are based on a survey of over 1,000 executives across various industries, highlighting the urgency for companies to adapt or risk obsolescence.
