Phase 0

Search fields and orientation (approx. 1–2 weeks)

What we do: Together we clarify what strategic contribution Agentic AI should make to the future of your company, identify attractive search fields and create the framework to develop relevant opportunities together with the business units.
Output: A shared understanding of goals, a responsible core team, a communication framework and a structured list of possible fields of application.

Phase 1

Evaluation and selection (approx. 1–2 weeks)

What we do: We specify promising use cases and evaluate them according to value creation potential, feasibility, scalability, risk and organizational readiness in order to select a suitable first pilot.
Output: Evaluation criteria, a prioritized use case portfolio, a selected pilot project and a value and communication message agreed with stakeholders.

Phase 2

Target picture and teams (approx. 1–2 weeks)

What we do: We develop the target picture for the future workflow, design the interplay between people, agents and systems and set up the cross-functional team for implementation.

Phase 3

Piloting, validating and learning (approx. 6 weeks)

What we do: We develop and test the AI agent step by step in a protected environment, involve future users early on and validate value, value creation, quality, security and acceptance.
Output: A tested pilot, measurable results, documented learnings and a well-founded decision on integration, further development and scaling, or discontinuation.

Phase 4

Integration and change (approx. 4–8 weeks)

Phase 5

Scaling, operating model and learning opportunities (ongoing)

What we do: We transfer successful solutions to further areas or extend existing AI agents, and we create the roles, decision paths and learning structures needed to expand Agentic AI systematically across the company.
Output: Scaling roadmap, Agentic AI operating model, governance and role structure, continuous KPI and ROI management as well as systematic transfer of experience.

Phase 0

Search fields and orientation (approx. 1–2 weeks)

What role does Inxelerate play in the technical implementation?

Inxelerate shapes the business, organizational and transformation side of the introduction. This includes search fields, use case selection, target process, roles, pilot mandate, success criteria, governance, communication and change support. Technical development takes place together with your internal IT. We use our established technology partners for technical support and for implementing compliance requirements such as GDPR or the EU AI Act. This keeps technological implementation and organizational embedding closely connected.

Which processes are suitable for Agentic AI?

Regularly recurring, well-describable tasks with a recognizably high manual effort are particularly interesting. A suitable process also has usable digital information and a comprehensible value potential. When we talk about processes, we mean topics such as supplier selection processes, quality management or tender preparation for sales – that is, activities with a broader scope than purely conversational use of ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or Gemini.

What technical prerequisites do we need as a client?

Available and accessible data, data quality and suitable system access, as well as a clearly defined technical environment for development and testing. For piloting, a protected sandbox is recommended. There, the agent can be tested step by step in isolation before being connected in a controlled manner to real systems and production processes.

What concrete results do we receive?

The overall process produces a prioritized use case portfolio, a selected pilot project, a value hypothesis and a target picture for the future workflow. These are complemented by a pilot brief with roles, KPIs, acceptance criteria, level of autonomy and guardrails, as well as a roadmap for integration, change and scaling.

Who should be involved in an Agentic AI project?

For the complete package: a core team consisting of an executive sponsor, the divisional managers involved and those responsible for communication and change. This team sets the framework, makes directional decisions and removes organizational obstacles. For the specific AI pilot: a cross-functional AI team, typically including process owners, experienced users, IT and data managers, AI expertise and, where required, data protection, compliance, HR, organizational development and employee representatives.

How long does it take to introduce Agentic AI?

A first overview is possible within a day. Simple use cases can be established within a few days. For extensive process optimizations, the time required is higher. From orientation and selection of a use case to a validated pilot project typically takes eight to twelve weeks. Integration into regular operation and organizational embedding is then completed within three to six months, depending on scope, process, data availability and interfaces. For a quick start, we offer compact formats such as the Agentic AI scoping workshop or the Agentic AI readiness check.
