💥 Boom! #wavestone has just dropped a new survey of global technology leaders, focused on #generativeai. This is our second major #ai related survey of the year. How do these two relate? 1. The Wavestone Data and AI Executive Leadership Survey has participants who are exclusively data executives. So it tells an interesting story about the role of the CDO over time, and about organizations' journeys to be data driven. 2. The new Wavestone Global Technology & Data Leaders Survey has a broader set of technology participants, and is focused on Generative AI. It tells the story of how organizations are thinking about Gen AI as part of their strategic priorities, and the concerns they have on adopting it well. Both provide perspectives on Generative AI and AI in today's corporations, but from different perspectives. Check them both out! Find them on Wavestone.com.

Generative AI is on fire, but the journey ahead is complex. 🔥 New Gartner research reveals that while 55% of organizations are piloting or using generative AI, the road to widespread adoption is fraught with challenges. ● Risk: Hallucinations, data leaks, and ethical concerns are top-of-mind for leaders. ● Expectations: Boards, customers, employees, and investors are all pushing for AI adoption, but with different priorities. ● Strategy: Few organizations have a clear AI strategy, making it difficult to navigate the hype cycle and deliver real value. To succeed, leaders must balance innovation with risk mitigation, focus on both every day and game-changing AI applications, and build trust with employees and customers.

Generative AI has the potential to both transform organizations and render them obsolete. As such, future-focused CEOs are aware that status quo is not an option. I asked local leaders for advice on how leaders can use generative AI to advance their businesses. Here is what Brian Waller, president, Technology Association of Iowa, shared: "For leaders considering generative AI, my advice is to focus on aligning its capabilities with specific challenges or opportunities within your business rather than adopting it purely for trend’s sake. The Technology Association of Iowa’s board of directors is optimistic about the potential of generative AI, recognizing that it can be transformative when applied thoughtfully. Its true value lies in solving real business challenges — whether improving efficiency, enhancing customer experiences or driving data insights. The possibilities are vast, but understanding the problem first and using the tool with purpose can turn potential into real, measurable impact. In today’s fast-moving tech landscape, those not exploring gen AI risk falling behind. Start with a clear problem, get the right voices in the room and consider how AI can empower your workforce to work smarter. Remember, keeping an adaptable approach will help you remain responsive as the technology evolves." How are you using generative AI?
