REPORT
HBR Report: 96% say agentic AI will be highly important to their business strategy in two years. Only 23% have a strategy.
A Harvard Business Review Analytic Services report on why AI ambitions are outpacing infrastructure readiness, and how leaders are fixing the gap.
The AI race is being won or lost at the infrastructure layer. While AI ambitions are soaring, many organizations are discovering that their current telemetry infrastructure wasn't built for the scale, cost, and complexity of agentic AI.
In this Harvard Business Review Analytic Services pulse report, discover how global leaders are navigating the shift from agentic AI.
What’s Inside:
- The Infrastructure Ceiling: Why 43% of respondents already disagree with the statement “my organization’s data infrastructure is prepared to meet the technical demands of agentic AI.”
- The Cost Trap: Why nearly half of those surveyed say AI projects are seeing higher-than-expected infrastructure costs.
- The Telemetry Surge: How to manage the increase in telemetry data volume generated by autonomous agents (cited by 76%).
- The ROI Barrier: Overcoming the #1 problem organizations have because of unprepared agentic AI data infrastructure – unclear performance/ROI metrics.
This report lays out a path to build an AI-ready telemetry foundation, so your team and agents have the real-time, high-quality signals they need, and your AI execution finally matches what the slide deck promised.
