As organisations move beyond analytics, copilots, and chat interfaces toward autonomous, goal-driven systems, AI agents are rapidly becoming a new operating layer within the enterprise. Yet, success at scale requires far more than building agents. Leaders must determine how to create value, establish governance, design operating models, manage risk, control costs, deliver trusted knowledge and context, and ensure AI remains accountable as it becomes embedded within critical business processes.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with the Agentic shift, the book explains how AI agents differ from traditional software, the rise of AI Agents, and the growing levels of autonomy transforming enterprise operations. It then guide leaders through AI readiness assessment, value and portfolio planning, Responsible AI, governance, assurance, and a practical enterprise case vignette before introducing an enterprise AI operating model and a 100-day blueprint for scaling adoption. The book explains why traditional software lifecycles are no longer sufficient, introduces the Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC), explores the critical role of knowledge, context engineering and trusted enterprise information, and examines how organizations can manage AI economics through FinOps and GreenOps while balancing cost, value, sustainability, and accountability. It concludes by addressing the emerging challenges of governing interconnected AI ecosystems across organizational and national boundaries, providing leaders with a practical framework for adopting, governing, and scaling Enterprise AI Agents responsibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCombining executive insights, practical frameworks, enterprise case vignettes, and implementation roadmaps, this book provides leaders with the tools needed to make informed decisions and build the organisational capabilities required for Enterprise AI.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a guide to building AI agents.
