How Leaders Are Already Using Agentic Strategy — 7 Real Use Cases
From Q3 planning to product design and internal tooling, here’s how teams are already deploying the agentic operating model.
It’s been less than a week since Agentic Strategy launched — and I’ve already heard from 30+ leaders using it to rethink how they plan, build, and operate.
What’s stood out isn’t just interest — it’s immediate application.
Here are 7 real-world ways readers are already using the frameworks inside:
🧠 1. Rethinking Q3 Planning
“We threw out our OKR doc and rewrote our priorities using the 5 Levels of Autonomy. It completely shifted what we expect of our tools — and of ourselves.”
🛠 2. Building Internal Agent Pods
“Chapter 7 helped us design our first cross-functional AI agent pod — including roles, governance, and feedback loops.”
🏢 3. Translating AI Strategy to Executives
“The Strategic Glossary gave us the language to finally explain our AI initiative at the board level — without watering it down.”
📊 4. Rewriting the Operating Model
“We realized we were still stuck in ‘tool logic.’ We’re now mapping workflows against the Agentic Operating Model pillars and redesigning from scratch.”
🧰 5. Product Teams Using the Toolkit
“We printed out the templates and used them to reframe a new product feature. It exposed gaps we didn’t even see.”
🧬 6. Auditing AI Use Across the Org
“We used the Autonomy Diagnostic to evaluate every current system — and found 3 areas where agent augmentation could immediately reduce cycle time.”
🌍 7. Getting Cross-Org Buy-In
“I used two of the diagrams in an internal deck — it immediately clicked with ops, product, and finance. The visual frameworks helped unify the language.”
💡 What This Signals
These aren’t surface-level reactions. These are operational rewrites in motion — at startups, agencies, and enterprises alike.
