What CTOs Think; Navigating the Path to the AI Enterprise
In collaboration with Akkodis & The Adecco Group
“What CTOs Think: Navigating the Path to the AI Enterprise” is a report that explores how CTOs are approaching this current era of digitalization and offers recommendations for a successful transformation to an AI-powered enterprise. The survey, conducted in collaboration with Oxford Economics, covers 2,000 C-suite leaders, including 509 CTOs, across nine countries and 18 sectors, including Aerospace, Automotive, Energy, Life Sciences, and Technology.
In recent years, digital transformation has become an indispensable priority for the C-suite, with many CTOs recognizing that digitalization is an ever-evolving concept; unlike earlier phases that focused on process automation, a majority of CTOs now see ‘catalyzing business growth’ as a top benefit. However, according to this major study, CTOs report numerous challenges and acknowledge that there is still much progress to be made. There are still many uncertainties surrounding the introduction of AI technologies and there is also a discrepancy between the CTOs’ concepts and the corporate reality.
The report found three key trends:
1) Uncertainty and inaction hold back digital transformation
2) CTOs need to collaborate to deliver the AI enterprise
3) There is an urgent need for digital workforce strategies
