# The divergence dynamic: How unconventional thinkers may give agentic AI an edge

Deloitte (Dec 7, 2024) "The divergence dynamic: How unconventional thinkers may give agentic AI an edge" argues the next leap in AI performance may not come from technology alone but from teams with the cognitive range to explore alternatives, test edge cases and imagine what models cannot. Cited stat: analysts predict that by 2028, 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI, compared with less than 1% in 2024. The article identifies creativity in problem framing — especially from neurodivergent team members accustomed to spotting unconventional angles — and breadth of collaboration (agents talking to agents, e.g. compliance to finance) as key sources of advantage. Useful framing for SEA mid-market boards considering AI workforce design and inclusion together.
