Playbook Snapshot: 3 Ways to Start with Agentic AI Today
1. Start Small with a High-Impact Pilot
Choose one behavior-heavy skill (e.g., feedback conversations) and run a 30-60 day Agentic AI simulation pilot. Track learner confidence and manager feedback.
2. Layer Agentic AI on Top of Existing Programs
Don’t replace everything at once. Start by embedding agent-led role-plays into onboarding, leadership, or sales academies.
3. Use Performance Data to Drive Expansion
Collect qualitative and quantitative data from your pilot. Where you see skill lift and engagement, double down.
