Agentic AI Is Here: Is Your Organization Ready to Absorb It?

According to recent research:

• 65% of companies are already piloting agentic AI (KPMG).
• By 2028, 33% of enterprise software will include it, enabling 15% of daily work decisions to be made autonomously (Gartner).

From automatically flagging compliance risks to generating real-time audit reports, agentic AI is already reshaping how finance and audit teams operate. But the organizations that will win are those that can absorb, adapt, and act on new insights.

The power of APIs: Turning insight into action

When paired with APIs, agentic AI becomes a closed-loop system capable of learning and executing continuously.

APIs connect AI to core business applications such as ERP, CRM, and compliance systems, allowing insights to trigger real-time actions and feed results back for improvement. This seamless integration turns knowledge into action and action into learning.

Five Behaviors That Build Absorptive Capacity

To fully leverage agentic AI, organizations must cultivate the behaviors that fuel adaptability and insight:

1. Curiosity at Scale – Encourage questions and challenge assumptions.
2. Fluid Knowledge Sharing – Break down silos to accelerate collaboration.
3. Purposeful Experimentation – Treat AI pilots as part of core operations.
4. Strategic Linkages – Build partnerships with innovators and experts.
5. Learning-Driven Leadership – Reward progress and curiosity over perfection.
