Companies have often responded to new technologies with process tweaks or bolt-on tools. Some companies adapted; others faltered, not for lack of innovation but because they failed to reorganize around it. Agentic AI raises the same challenge but with higher stakes. It demands cross-functional execution that breaks free from silos and outdated ways of working.

In 2024, social media will get small. Not small in influence, of course.

In 2024, fusion technology will finally make the transition from basic research to commercial application. The reason for that will be the construction and completion of the first commercial fusion demonstrators. These cutting-edge facilities are smaller than fusion power plants. For instance, a laser-based fusion demonstrator might use five to ten laser beams, while a […]

Autonomous agents are taking over the customer journey—from search to checkout—and companies that wait to adapt risk being cut out entirely.
