Many organizations are investing in AI to drive efficiency automating tasks, accelerating workflows, and reducing costs. As AI agents increasingly take over execution and coordination, leadership shifts to what machines can’t do: setting direction, exercising judgment, and creating trust at scale.

Our Agentic AI Tour is an executive series exploring how leaders can navigate, shape, and harness the rise of AI agents. Our kick-off lunch session “Leading in the Age of AI Agents” brings together a small group of senior executives to discuss how work is being redesigned, which human capabilities to strengthen, and how to build teams that use AI confidently and responsibly.

You will leave with clearer answers to key questions:

• When capacity is freed up by AI, are we reinvesting it in the right places or just filling it with more tasks?
• Which human capabilities are we actively building and which are we quietly allowing to erode?
• What signals do our culture and incentives send about how AI should be used when no-one is watching?

11:30 |Welcome & registration

12:00 | Introduction and framing
Setting the context: where AI adoption is heading and why the human side of the equation is becoming the strategic differentiator

12:20 | Redesigning work: beyond the efficiency trap
While AI frees up time, reinvesting that time entirely into more tasks misses the point. How do you deliberately build space for relationships, innovation, or cognitive resilience? And why is that a business decision, not an HR one?

12:45 | The scarcity of human skills
As AI commoditizes knowledge, contextual judgment, trust-building, and ethical navigation become rare and valuable. The organizations that recognize this now - and invest accordingly - will become the front runners in the market

13:10 Shaping behavior in a world of autonomous agents
As AI agents gain autonomy, control shifts from restricting technology to shaping human behavior. Leadership, incentives, and culture guide responsible AI use and determine trust and performance in a hybrid human‑AI workforce

13:35 Synthesis and conclusions
Key takeaways, open reflection, and one concrete action each participant commits to bring back to their organization

13:50 Informal networking
Continue the conversation over coffee

Lunch will be served throughout the session in an informal, roundtable setting on the 10th floor of our KPMG Zaventem offices, providing ample opportunity for peer exchange and networking.
