Bring the Work Home

For three decades, enterprises scaled by sending work out. Agentic AI changes where the advantage lives — and leaves leadership teams with four decisions to make in the next four quarters.

  • Context, not labor, is becoming the scarce input
  • Insourcing is an operating-model call, not a tool purchase
  • Four decisions for the next four quarters

2027 Priorities · What the community is working on

More ›
  1. 1

    Insource with evidence

    Choosing the first processes to bring home, and building the audit trail that lets agents take on more of them.

  2. 2

    Rewrite the contracts

    Pricing, data rights, workflow ownership and exit terms for a world where agents do the volume.

  3. 3

    Move people with the work

    New roles, reskilling and career paths for the teams who will direct and govern agents.
