The challenge of effectively executing complex business strategies is being redefined by artificial intelligence. Shibumi, the leader in strategy execution software, has announced the availability of its Shibumi Agentic AI platform across the Asia Pacific region. This groundbreaking technology, unveiled at the APAC Chief Strategy Officer Conference in Sydney, provides organizations with a library of pre-built AI Agents and an Agent Factory to configure custom assistants, shifting strategy management from a human-initiated process to an always-on, predictive system.
Shibumi launches its Agentic AI platform for the Asia Pacific (APAC) market.
The platform includes an AI Agent Library and an Agent Factory for building custom assistants.
AI Agents can automatically create workplans from documents and perform performance gap analysis.
The technology aims to transform a single analyst into a full strategy execution team.
Shibumi has strengthened its APAC leadership with new executive appointments in Sydney and Melbourne.
The launch responds to growing demand for strategic transformation solutions in the region.
Shibumi Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift in how organizations manage strategic initiatives. Instead of relying on individuals to manually initiate and track work, the AI Agents operate in an always-on capacity, providing answers and generating work before being asked. This capability effectively expands the capacity of a single strategy execution analyst, equipping them with intelligent digital assistants that can automate complex tasks and provide predictive insights.
"The Asia Pacific region is experiencing unprecedented transformation, and our AI Agents are perfectly positioned to help organizations navigate this complexity at scale," said Bob Nahmias, CEO of Shibumi. "By bringing Agentic AI to APAC, we're empowering regional leaders to leverage autonomous work creation and predictive intelligence that anticipates strategic needs before they arise."
To support the launch and growing demand, Shibumi has bolstered its regional leadership team. Alex Krawchuk has been appointed as Vice President and General Manager of APAC, based in Sydney, and Sean Kitchener has joined as a Client Partner in Melbourne. Their appointments are aimed at providing local expertise to help APAC enterprises maximize the value of their strategic transformation initiatives using the Shibumi platform.
"As more Asia Pacific organizations use Shibumi to increase the value they get from their transformation initiatives, we're committed to providing local expertise combined with global best practices," said John Hilborn, Chief Revenue Officer at Shibumi.
The practical value of the platform was highlighted at the conference with case studies from Australian leaders. Emma MacCulloch, Head of Program Management Office at Intellihub, noted that Shibumi was "rapidly adopted and quickly delivered operational ROI." The AI Agents deliver this value by merging document content with strategic program data and business rules. Key use cases include Automated Workplan Creation from uploaded charters, Performance Gap Analysis using benchmarking data, and intelligent Workflow Recommendations for initiative approvals.
