Harnessing AI
IT Leadership in the next era of Enterprise Technology
Welcome to the 12th annual Logicalis Global CIO Report 2026
Surveying over 1,000 CIOs globally
Quote from Jon Groves
This year's report reveals a complex challenge for CIOs navigating the biggest innovation of our lifetime. Organizations are not short of ambition or appetite for AI, they are short of the frameworks, skills and confidence to deploy it at scale. The challenge right now is not whether to invest in AI, but how to build the foundations that will make that investment effective, safe and sustainable. Today’s CIO is no longer just a technology operator, they are strategically coordinating risk, ensuring accountability and driving value creation throughout the entire organisation.
What you'll discover
Our most controversial report to date reveals that organizations are accelerating their investments in AI at a pace that far outstrips their ability to effectively manage it.
This rapid progress has created a widening gap between ambition and operational capability, as governance, skills and infrastructure struggle to keep pace.
