The core promise
The hard part of agentic AI is not the technology. It is trust, governance, adoption, and the redesign of human work.
AI leadership keynote speaker David Nour takes the agentic-enterprise conversation into the boardroom. When software begins to act, not just advise, leaders must decide where an agent has authority, where a human remains accountable, and how trust survives when the work moves faster than governance.
The Human Edge in an Agentic Enterprise is informed by Nour's forthcoming Inner Circle work on trust, judgment, and accountability. It gives CEOs, boards, CHROs, transformation leaders, and regulated organizations a practical language for redesigning work without hollowing out culture or customer intimacy.
