Partner or perish: the board and C-suite must embrace AI – fast

FOR decades, corporate leaders treated enterprise technology as a delegable matter.

Enterprise resource planning systems, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity – these were important, but not existential. Boards asked for implementation road maps. Management recruited external consultants for support.

This age-old practice is no longer feasible. In an artificial intelligence (AI)-accelerated economy, sitting on the sidelines isn’t wise restraint, but a lapse in leadership judgment.
