Welcome by IDC
IDC Keynote: The 2025 CIO Playbook: Driving Digital Business Value in the Age of AI
Two years on from the widespread commercial use of GenAI, and with the Agentic AI revolution on the horizon, the expectations of CEOs and the Board of Directors regarding the potential of AI to transform business and operational models are at their highest. Yet, many organizations are struggling to realize the expected business outcomes from their AI investments. Technology leaders are increasingly being asked to provide concrete answers to questions such as: what are the key success factors in transforming their business with AI? How can they prepare their organisation to deliver measurable business value?
CIOs have now a unique opportunity to transcend traditional IT management roles and reinforce their strategic role, emerging as Digital Business Orchestrators. In this session, we will provide an overview of the digital market and share best practices on how to close digital business execution gaps and unlock sustainable business value from AI.
