Why the emerging tech conversation feels incomplete I keep hearing the same emerging tech story repeated: better models, smarter copilots, more autonomous agents. The demos look impressive, but they often miss what is happening inside real organizations. From where I sit, the challenge is no longer whether AI works. It is whether we can run…
El temor a que la IA sustituya los puestos de trabajo humanos es una de las principales preocupaciones de muchos empleados en todo el mundo. Una de las razones que se suelen esgrimir para justificar la sustitución de empleados por la IA es la percepción de que el uso de la inteligencia artificial para desempeñar…
When it comes to what AI has in store for your everyday working CIO, “disconcerting” might not be a strong enough word. IT leaders must be prepared for every disconcerting scenario they can imagine. For example, at the risk of distracting you from my own pearls of wisdom and brilliant insights, I suggest you stop…
The fear that AI will replace human jobs is a major concern for many employees worldwide. One reason often given for job displacement via AI is the perception that use of artificial intelligence to perform a role will be more cost-effective. This assumption is having an impact on various industries, as large US tech companies in particular cut…
I love AI copilots. I also don’t trust them with write access. That’s not a philosophical stance. It’s an operator scar. In high-growth startups, helpful automation has a habit of turning into a 2 a.m. incident when it gets too much privilege and not enough supervision. Now we’re wiring large language models to the same…
For over a decade, enterprise technology conversations have been dominated by one belief: legacy ERP systems must be replaced for organizations to innovate. Many cloud-first strategies, AI-led transformation programs and digital experience initiatives often begin with the idea that “ERP is holding the business back.” In real enterprise environments, the situation looks very different. In…
Imagine opening your monthly cloud invoice and seeing a 200% spike in a single line item. This is the new reality for AI-native companies. What was once a predictable compute budget has been upended by the massive computational hunger of large language models (LLMs). The financial cost of running LLMs is astonishing. In response, the…
No mere back-office operator, today’s successful CIOs accelerate business transformation, strengthen security posture, and increasingly translate AI ambition into real-world outcomes. At the same time, the path from “high performer” to “enterprise technology executive” has become both more urgent and harder to navigate. If there’s a common frustration among ambitious technology leaders, it’s this: performance…
Organizationally, technically, and culturally, an SAP S/4HANA migration project is complex in many areas. It’s not simply an IT project where data is transferred from one system to another. Rather, it’s a company-wide transformation that affects the entire business. On the path to successful project completion, there are typical stumbling blocks that must be avoided. Here is…
By early 2026, the novelty phase of AI agents has officially ended and been replaced by a looming systemic liability. If 2025 was the year of the pilots, 2026 is the year of the collision. The velocity of adoption is staggering. Gartner recently predicted that 40% of enterprise applications will feature task-specific AI agents by the end…
