AI agents are reshaping the competitive landscape. Done right, they offer laggards a chance to leap ahead. Done wrong—or not at all—they could hasten the fall of today’s leaders. This is a moment of strategic divergence. In our featured report, McKinsey’s Alexander Sukharevsky, Dave Kerr, Klemens Hjartar, Lari Hämäläinen, Stéphane Bout, and Vito Di Leo share a CEO playbook for unlocking scalable impact with AI agents. Our second feature explores what gen AI agents are, how they’re being used in the workplace, and how leaders can prepare for the workforce of the near future.
