“Optimizing Project Portfolio Management with Excel”

Excel is a widely used and cost-effective solution for Project Portfolio Management (PPM). It offers customizability, a user-friendly interface, and excellent data visualization capabilities.

Generative vs. agentic AI: The next wave of the AI revolution

Generative AI has been dominant in the news recently, revolutionizing various fields of work and spawning a new industry.
Agentic AI represents the next phase of the AI revolution, set to disrupt multiple aspects of our lives with enhanced capabilities.
While generative AI creates new data by learning from existing data, agentic AI focuses on action and autonomy, capable of independent task execution.
Agentic AI interprets context, autonomously selects and executes goals, and continuously learns and improves its processes.
Agentic AI works based on a core model, policy layer, memory layer, execution layer, and learning layer, enhancing its functionality and efficiency.
Agentic AI applications span diverse areas such as AI development, inventory management, personal assistants, and customer support.
Agentic AI can replace humans in certain tasks that are well-specified, predictable, and executable in a digital environment, but it lacks human traits like creativity and empathy.
Leveraging agentic AI can involve automating routine tasks and integrating it into products to address predictable and digitizable customer problems.
While agentic AI offers immense potential, understanding its limitations and combining it with human skills where necessary remains crucial for optimal utilization.
