Vision without action is hallucination

Thomas Edison

Breakthrough technologies like AI spark the imagination. Predictions run wild. But against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty, risk appetite and funding may well strangle innovation. So, while Hollywood films fuel the fire and analyst firms promote their latest predictions, what’s the reality for UK executives in large, complex businesses?

1

BCG on AI

BCG says that 54% of board members expect AI to drive down costs in 2025 – is this realistic?

2

Gartner on workloads

Gartner predicts that 95% of new digital workloads will be cloud-native. Are tech foundations in place for this?

3

BCG on IT budgets

BCG predicts a 40% rise in the proportion of IT budgets allocated to GenAI – is the risk appetite there to dive in?
