Governance takeaway
- Makers: Define which agent actions need human approval and which can run autonomously, because execution changes require explicit process boundaries.
- Admins/CoE: Review permissions, operational limits, integrations and traceability before deployment, because agents can create cases, send emails and update CRM data.
- Security/Compliance: Check access to shared Microsoft 365 and Dynamics 365 context, because Work IQ connects customer data with meetings, emails, documents and Teams channels.
- Leadership/Business: Pilot measurable processes and track cost, quality and outcomes, because agent counts alone do not demonstrate business success.
