As enterprises accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence, many are finding themselves overwhelmed by ideas but uncertain about execution. To address this growing challenge, Qlik has introduced Qlik Agentic Advisory, a new offering within Qlik Advisory Services aimed at helping organizations transform AI ambition into operational reality.
Unveiled in Dubai on April 16, 2026, the advisory-led program is designed to help enterprises identify, prioritize, and operationalize high‑value agentic AI use cases. While organizations across industries are enthusiastic about AI, they often lack a structured approach to determine which use cases matter most, how to prepare their data and governance foundations, and how to avoid costly false starts. Qlik Agentic Advisory seeks to close this gap by combining strategic guidance with execution‑focused planning.
At the core of the offering is a practical sell‑or‑save lens, enabling organizations to evaluate agentic AI opportunities based on their potential to drive revenue growth or cost efficiencies. By doing so, Qlik helps customers focus on initiatives with the strongest near‑term business impact rather than pursuing loosely defined experimentation.
“The hardest part of agentic AI isn’t coming up with ideas it’s deciding what to pursue and putting the right data, governance, and operating model behind it.”
— Roberto Sigona, Chief Operating Officer, Qlik
The advisory is powered by QlikAdvisory.ai, which supports a structured discovery approach even before formal engagement begins. This allows customers to clarify the problems they actually want to solve ahead of Business Adoption Workshops or deeper advisory work, ensuring discussions move quickly into prioritization, KPI definition, and execution planning.
Qlik Agentic Advisory is structured around three connected stages: Crystallize, Prepare, and Activate. During the crystallization phase, Qlik works with customers to shape early AI ideas into well‑defined, execution‑ready use cases aligned to business objectives. The preparation phase focuses on assessing data readiness, governance, and operating models required to support those use cases. Finally, the activation stage emphasizes change enablement and stakeholder alignment to move initiatives from planning into real-world deployment.
Roberto Sigona, Chief Operating Officer at Qlik, said organizations frequently underestimate the operational complexity of agentic AI. “Qlik Agentic Advisory is designed to help customers move forward with more clarity, fewer false starts, and a faster path to business value,” he noted.
Built on Qlik’s modular, fit‑for‑purpose advisory model, the offering allows enterprises to start where they are whether with a single priority use case or a broader governance challenge and expand as their AI strategy matures. The launch forms part of Qlik’s broader announcements at Qlik Connect 2026, where the company is showcasing practical approaches to trusted data, governed AI, and execution‑ready operating models for enterprise environments.
