Depending on how you look at the game, we may still be heading into the ballpark. Some are taking batting practice. But largely the opportunities with AI are well ahead of us.

Excellent segment by @Craw explaining potential IT spend outlooks. With so many variables and uncertainties at play, many companies globally are either staying their course or pausing operations. Neither are good when the level of confidence in decision making is so low. @IDC

The CIO role is evolving rapidly, with AI at its core. CIOs must move beyond technology facilitation and take the lead in AI governance, cybersecurity, skills development, sustainability, regulatory compliance, and technical debt management. blogs.idc.com/2025/03/24/the… @craw
