Engineering Business Outcomes: The Shift to Agentic Systems

A global survey of 850+ executives reveals how to scale agentic AI—and why governance and operational readiness is a top priority.

A Playbook for Scaling Agentic Systems Safely

As agentic AI shifts from isolated pilots into mission-critical business workflows, enterprise leaders face a new operational stress test: bridging the gap between broad governance confidence and true operational readiness.

OutSystems and KPMG partnered with CIO Dive to survey 858 executives across North America, Europe, Japan, India, and Australia on how they are deploying and governing agentic AI. 

"The ones closing that gap are doing it with architecture rather than caution. They are the pragmatists building AI into the applications and workflows that run their business. They put AI where it does real work and measure it against a clear result."
