CIOs are taking the lead in shaping AI strategy, but a gap remains between ambition and execution. With generative AI now a board-level priority, success hinges on overcoming cultural, funding, and data hurdles to scale real-world use cases.
Core Insights:
- CIOs are owning the AI agenda: Beyond enabling tech, CIOs are driving AI strategy and accountable for delivering measurable outcomes.
- AI maturity lags investment: Most generative AI initiatives are stuck in pilot mode due to funding limits, cultural resistance, and data readiness issues.
- Value proof is critical: CIOs are prioritising partners who offer localised insight and help accelerate the shift from experimentation to enterprise-scale impact.
