Abstract: Organizations increasingly deploy agentic artificial intelligence systems—autonomous or semi-autonomous agents capable of perceiving environments, making decisions, and executing tasks with minimal human intervention. Unlike traditional automation or generative AI tools, agentic AI operates with goal-directed independence across workflows, customer interactions, and strategic processes. This shift introduces profound transformation challenges spanning governance, workforce dynamics, operational risk, and organizational culture. Drawing on organizational change theory, sociotechnical systems research, and emerging practitioner evidence, this article examines the landscape of agentic AI adoption, quantifies its organizational and individual impacts, and synthesizes evidence-based responses across communication, capability building, governance frameworks, and workforce support. The analysis integrates real-world implementations from healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing to provide actionable pathways for leaders navigating this transformation while preserving human agency, trust, and organizational resilience.
