What you'll learn

Identify why most agent workflows fail under scrutiny

Address the gaps: unclear intent, missing escalation, no documentation that make workflows indefensible when questioned.

Document intent before agents act

Learn why capturing the "why" behind agent decisions is the foundation of any audit-ready workflow.

Map escalation paths and accountability clearly

Define who owns what, when agents escalate, and where humans stay in the loop—before someone asks.

Build your audit-ready blueprint live

Use the Agent Design Blueprint tool to document a workflow you own—leave with something you can defend to stakeholders.

Why this topic matters

When auditors, regulators, or leadership ask "why did the AI do that?" you need an answer. Most agent workflows can't survive that question because intent, escalation, and accountability were never documented. This session gives you a blueprint structure that makes your agent workflows defensible from day one.

AI educator and O’Reilly author focused on accountable agent workflow design

I help organizations adopt AI responsibly by designing judgment, accountability, and real workflows before tools enter the picture. I have trained hundreds of thousands of professionals through O’Reilly, Salesforce, edX, and LinkedIn, and my work focuses on building agent-enabled systems that augment people rather than replace them.
