The Dual Maturity Framework: Bridging the Gap Between Organizational Readiness and AI Autonomy

The conversation around enterprise AI has shifted. For several years, the focus was on generative AI: systems that could summarize documents, draft emails, write code, and answer questions when prompted. These tools delivered real value, but they shared a common limitation. They waited for a human to ask before they did anything. The emerging generation of agentic AI changes that equation entirely. Agentic systems do not just answer; they execute. They plan multi-step workflows, make decisions within defined parameters, coordinate with other systems, and carry out complex tasks with minimal or no human intervention.
