A company with multiple ICPs across its agents
Your company probably doesn't have one ICP. It has four. And each department has already trained an agent with its own.
Marketing built its agents around one ideal customer profile. Sales operates with another. CS defines the journey one way. Operations defines it in a completely different way.
And no dashboard will flag this.
The marketing agent produces content for a customer that sales would never qualify. The sales agent follows up using language that CS would never use. The operations agent automates a process that leadership barely recognizes.
The result: the company starts producing internally incoherent AI outputs, at scale. Each department believes it's accelerating. And it is, just in different directions.
The problem isn't technical. It's not the model, not the prompt, not the tool. It's that no one documented and shared the organizational context before putting the first agent to work.
Who is the real customer? What is the value proposition that everyone defends in the same way? How does the company define success at each stage of the journey?
Without those answers aligned and documented, each agent learns a different version of the company you think you have.
The missing foundation isn't technical: it's organizational context, unified and shared before any agent goes into production.
Tell me in the comments: how many versions of your company exist today across departments?
