Education - Job Interviews - B2B Meetings

The Digital Job Fair is a series of events and initiatives at the WMF entirely dedicated to the digital job market, its professionals and organizations, and the skills needed to navigate it effectively.

From Billable Hours to Outcomes: Building Agent Practices That Actually Make Money

The enterprise applications services industry is facing its most significant business model disruption in decades. McKinsey now earns 20–25% of global fees from outcome-based pricing. They’ve deployed approximately 12,000 AI agents internally and shrunk typical project teams from 14+ consultants to 2–3 consultants plus AI agents. Meanwhile, 42% of companies abandoned most AI initiatives in 2025, and the average enterprise scrapped 46% of AI pilots before production. This speech delivers a practitioner’s playbook for system integrators building AI agent practices that actually make money. Drawing from a decade of enterprise software experience across multiple continents and ecosystems, the speaker introduces the Culture–Context–Code framework and a realistic 90-day sprint to first agent in production, followed by a 9-month transformation roadmap. Attendees will leave with a concrete operating model, specific pricing structures with real numbers, a step-by-step execution timeline, and a clear understanding of how to navigate the EU AI Act, DORA, and NIS2 regulatory landscape while building AI agent practices.
