Becoming a frontier firm: Are you ready to operationalise Agentic AI

Food for Thought: How pioneering enterprises are re-architecting for the age of intelligent autonomy

In partnership with 

As the age of Agentic AI unfolds, a new class of enterprise is emerging—the Frontier Firm. These are organisations that don’t just experiment with AI; they reimagine how their businesses operate at every level. From product development and customer engagement to strategy execution, Frontier Firms are harnessing AI agents to rewire their operating models, reinvent workflows, and unlock strategic value at scale.

Agentic AI goes far beyond productivity gains. It empowers systems that think, decide, and act with autonomy—augmenting human capability while continuously learning and adapting. This shift marks a fundamental change: from organisations that use AI to organisations built around AI.

During this exclusive Food for Thought dinner, hosted by HotTopics in partnership with Avanade, a select group of C-level technology leaders will explore what it takes to operationalise Agentic AI and truly lead the journey to becoming a Frontier Firm. Together, we’ll examine how to integrate intelligence across systems, transform decision-making speed and accuracy, and build the governance frameworks to ensure responsible innovation.

What to expect

This private, invitation-only gathering brings together visionary technology executives for an evening of open dialogue, shared learning, and strategic foresight. In a moderated roundtable and curated dinner discussion, participants will explore how to move from theory to action—translating the promise of Agentic AI into real, measurable business transformation.

Discussion themes include:

• From Productivity to Performance — How AI agents are redefining efficiency, creativity, and value creation.
• Operationalising Autonomy — Practical steps to embed agentic systems into live processes and enterprise workflows.
• The Anatomy of a Frontier Firm — What defines organisations that are leading the AI revolution—and how others can follow.
• Architecture and Integration — How to re-engineer data, systems, and culture for AI-native operations.
• Responsible Transformation — Balancing innovation speed with ethical guardrails, trust, and transparency.
• Leadership for the AI Era — The new skills, structures, and mindsets required to lead at the frontier.

Expect a rich exchange of perspectives, real-world case studies, and tangible insights that will help you shape your enterprise’s path toward intelligent autonomy.
