🏎️ “It’s like we’re driving a Ferrari in a parking lot.” That’s how Jeffrey McMillan describes the state of agentic AI at the enterprise level: Companies have immensely powerful tech but still lack the clear purpose and creativity to unlock its transformative potential. To explore the next phase of agentic AI development – and how organizations can create solutions that give them a real edge – we hosted clients and experts at our NY HQ last week to hear from Jeff, one of the world’s most accomplished AI implementors. Drawing on decades of experience, including deploying AI to a workforce of 80,000+ people as Head of Firmwide AI at Morgan Stanley, Jeff spoke to GLG CTO Nathan Andrews about what AI readiness and disruption look like at global organizations making high-stakes decisions. Using GLG’s recent Agentic AI Playbook as a jumping-off point, the leaders delved into the qualities that will distinguish winners from losers in agentic AI. The firms that succeed, Jeff said, will deeply understand the problems they need to solve, build with clear goals, and educate their teams on AI’s role in their work. With AI presenting profound opportunities to decision makers across sectors, GLG is committed to helping our partners capitalize on it. And we’re innovating with it, too, as we build cutting-edge agentic capabilities to help our clients accelerate, scale, and get greater value out of their research.
