Agentic AI Playbook Released: 78% Enterprise AI Adoption, And Most Leaders Aren't Ready

78% of organizations use AI somewhere — but most leaders aren't ready for the agentic shift. The 48-page Salesforce playbook tells you how to lead, not lag.

Enterprise AI adoption just surged — but most leaders aren't ready for what's next.

New research shows 78% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function, up from 55% just last year. But the catch: most leaders are still unprepared for the rise of Agentic AI — autonomous agents that don't just support tasks. They own outcomes.

Salesforce just released a 48-page research-backed playbook to help companies lead — not lag — in this transformation. Grab it here.

Key findings

  • Workers using AI daily are 64% more productive
