- 01
From chatbot to agent family
Why enterprise EX fails when every function buys its own bot. The agent-family model: a router, domain specialists, a reviewer for sensitive actions, and an escalation path that always lands with a human.
- 02
Agent design patterns for employee work
Assistive, supervised and autonomous patterns mapped to IT incidents, HR cases, procurement intake, legal requests, workplace tickets and frontline operations. Each pattern includes the approval and evidence rules that make it board-ready.
- 03
Multi-agent orchestration
How router, specialist and reviewer agents hand off, share context and avoid collisions. Includes orchestration reference diagrams and failure-mode handling.
- 04
Memory, identity and data boundaries
What an employee agent may remember, what it must forget, and how identity and entitlements follow the employee across domains. Includes retention, anonymization and cross-border data rules.
- 05
Safety, evaluation and audit
Golden sets for employee-agent tasks, LLM-as-judge guardrails, red-teaming scenarios and the monthly evidence pack. Designed for internal audit and external regulator review.
- 06
Cost governance and scale operations
Cost-per-resolution, model routing, usage guardrails and the monthly agent review board that decides which agents graduate, retire or expand.
Questions enterprise readers ask
Can this scale beyond IT and HR?
Yes — the playbook covers legal, procurement, workplace/facilities, sales operations, finance close support and frontline operations. The same governance and orchestration patterns apply; only the tool contracts and approval tiers change.
How do we prevent agent sprawl?
Through a central agent catalog, reuse standards, cost attribution and a monthly review board. Agents that don't meet adoption or cost thresholds are retired or consolidated.
What does the CIO/CHRO co-ownership model look like?
CIO owns platform, identity, security, cost and technical SLOs; CHRO owns employee experience, adoption, policy and change management. A shared Agent Review Board meets monthly to approve new agents, review incidents and decide on autonomy upgrades.
