AppliedAI and McKinsey just dropped a game-changer in Abu Dhabi, UAE. They teamed up to supercharge regulated enterprises with agentic AI that rewires mid- and back-office operations fast.
Businesses now discover, build, and govern smart workflows through Opus, AppliedAI's powerful platform. Moreover, McKinsey brings deep transformation expertise via QuantumBlack.
From Experiments to Real Wins
Organizations experiment with AI agents everywhere, yet few scale them successfully. McKinsey research reveals 62 percent play around with agents, but only 23 percent deploy them enterprise-wide. This partnership closes the execution gap. Companies translate flashy models into auditable, governed workflows that regulators love.
In one standout case with a European chemicals giant, Opus automated vendor onboarding. Teams slashed manual effort by over 99 percent and cut cycle times from weeks to minutes. Additionally, accuracy and compliance soared with real-time visibility.
Power Moves for the Agentic Future
Opus stays model-agnostic and connects seamlessly to existing systems. Business stakeholders own and evolve these processes daily. Furthermore, McKinsey leads workflow reimagination while AppliedAI handles rapid deployment and optimization.
Leaders like Arya Bolurfrushan and Ben Ellencweig highlight how this duo delivers governed AI that hits the P&L quickly. Enterprises turn procedural drudgery into compounding intelligence. The future of regulated ops looks agentic, efficient, and exciting.
