At a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world at an unprecedented pace, it is important for IT leaders to get their organisations ready for this change. IT leaders who are committed to their own development and that of their teams create a culture in which AI-driven innovation can flourish. What about you? 

How IT leaders integrate AI into their strategic planning is also a determining factor for their future growth and innovation. An effective AI strategy is shaped by the extent to which it can transform business operations. An AI strategy must be part of the business strategy.

To enable AI initiatives, the IT environment needs to be prepared for it. Wortell stresses the importance of investing in a good IT infrastructure, including cybersecurity, workplace technologies and cloud solutions. A strong IT infrastructure is not only a prerequisite for the success of AI, but also acts as a catalyst for further innovation. What steps are you taking in the long term or even in the short term with Copilot, for example?

To understand how far advanced organisations are in their preparation, Wortell is conducting an exploratory benchmark study with the main question: "To what extent are organisations prepared for Artificial Intelligence?"

Participating in this survey will give you insight into how different organisations are positioning themselves in the rapidly evolving AI landscape and identify key areas where they can improve. This can help you shape your own strategy in this area and take a leading position in the technology-driven business world.
