The CIO’s Strategic Guide for 2025
InclusionCloud’s CIO’s Strategic Guide for 2025 urges IT leaders to move beyond AI experimentation and prove measurable ROI. As app sprawl, rising costs, and low CEO trust challenge IT’s value, CIOs must shift from deploying tools to ensuring adoption and business alignment. The guide outlines three AI maturity stages: exploration (pilot projects), integration (scaling AI in workflows), and future readiness (next-gen tech like synthetic data and agentic AI). Emphasizing governance, upskilling, and cross-functional strategy, it positions CIOs as key drivers of long-term innovation and growth.
