From building a personal board of directors to sharpening people skills, IT leaders are looking to develop their profiles, perspectives, and prospects to better helm IT this year and grow their careers.
AI and in particular generative AI has the potential to be transformative. Following on from the mass cloud adoption of the last fifteen years it’s the next evolution of how we use technology. How can organisations operationalise it to deliver business benefits? It’s a question that’s very much on the minds of technology leaders. The 2023 Nash Squared Digital Leadership Report, which takes in the views of over 2,100 technology leaders around the world, finds that seven in ten tech leaders believe the benefits of AI outweigh the risks – but only 15% of them feel prepared for the demands of generative AI.
