IBM study: Indian CEOs double down on AI investments to drive long-term innovation
74% of surveyed CEOs say more budget flexibility is needed to capitalize on digital opportunities that drive long-term growth and innovation64% of surveyed CEOs strongly agree that their organization is realizing value from GenAI investments beyond cost reduction A new global study by the IBM (NYSE: IBM ) Institute for Business Value suggests that surveyed Indian CEOs are open to investing in digital opportunities that drive long term growth and innovation but need more budget flexibility to do so. They also cite lack of expertise and knowledge as a top barrier to innovation in their organization. The study also points to Indian CEOs investing in AI with purpose and having clear metrics to measure innovation ROI. The annual IBM CEO study , which surveyed 2,000 CEOs globally, revealed that executive respondents expect the growth rate of AI investments to more than double in the next two years. In India, 51% of surveyed CEOs confirm they are actively adopting AI agents today and preparing to implement them at scale. According to the findings, in India 58% of surveyed CEOs identify integrated enterprise-wide data architecture as critical for cross-functional collaboration, and 71% view their organization's proprietary data as key to unlocking the value of generative AI . However, the research indicates organizations may be struggling to cultivate an effective data environment: 53% of respondents acknowledge that the pace of recent investments has left their organization with disconnected, piecemeal technology. 'Indian CEOs are at the forefront of a massive transformation fuelled by technological advancements like generative AI and Agentic AI. It is no longer if they should adopt AI but where it can deliver the strongest competitive edge, and accelerated growth,' said Sandip Patel, Managing Director, IBM India & South Asia. 'To lead in this era, CEOs must see disruption as opportunity, focusing on tangible business outcomes while navigating constant change. At IBM, we're helping Indian enterprises scale AI responsibly and drive seamless AI adoption for long-term growth,' he added. Highlights for India from the IBM CEO Study include: Less Than a Third of AI Initiatives Met ROI Expectations, But Indian CEOs Stay Committed Surveyed CEOs report that only 25% of AI initiatives have delivered expected ROI over the last few years, and only 15% have scaled enterprise wide. To accelerate progress, 62% of CEO respondents say their organization is leaning into AI use cases based on ROI, with 66% reporting that their organization has clear metrics to measure innovation ROI effectively.64% of CEO respondents say their organization is realizing value from generative AI investments beyond cost reduction.69% of CEOs surveyed acknowledge that the risk of falling behind drives investment in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring to the organization, but only 39% say it's better to be 'fast and wrong' than 'right and slow' when it comes to technology adoption. 44% of surveyed CEOs admit their organization struggles to balance funding for existing operations and investment in innovation when unexpected change occurs, as 74% of say more budget flexibility is needed to capitalize on digital opportunities that drive long-term growth and 2027, 84% of surveyed CEOs expect their investments in scaled AI efficiency and cost savings to have returned a positive ROI, while 78% expect to see a positive return from their investments in scaled AI growth and expansion. Indian CEOs Prioritize Strategic Leadership and AI Talent to Unlock Future Growth 67% of CEO respondents say their organization's success is directly tied to maintaining a broad group of leaders with a deep understanding of strategy and the authority to make critical decisions.61% of CEOs surveyed say that differentiation depends on having the right expertise in the right positions with the right cite lack of clear innovation strategy, aversion to risk and disruption, and lack of expertise and knowledge as top barriers to innovation in their organization.68% of CEOs say their organization will use automation to address skill gaps.54% of CEO respondents say they are hiring for roles related to AI that did not exist a year ago.

IBM Study: Profit-Driven CMOs See AI as Growth Driver, but Operational Hurdles Slow Them Down
54% of surveyed executives underestimated the operational complexity of translating AI strategies into outcomes. Only 22% of surveyed organizations have established clear guidelines and guardrails for the use of AI in automated decision-making. 64% of CMO respondents are now responsible for profitability, with 58% accountable for revenue growth. ARMONK, N.Y., June 17, 2025 /CNW/ -- A new global study by the IBM (NYSE: IBM) Institute for Business Value reveals that surveyed CMOs widely acknowledge the strategic importance of AI, but face an execution gap – largely due to fragmented systems – as they adapt to a significant role shift. The global study * of 1,800 marketing and sales executives found that while 81% of CMO respondents view AI as a game-changer, 84% report that challenges with rigid, fragmented operations limit their ability to effectively harness the technology. More than half (54%) of respondents admit they underestimated the operational complexity of translating AI strategies into tangible outcomes, and only 17% feel prepared to integrate agentic AI into their processes. According to the study, only 23% of surveyed CMOs feel employees are prepared for the cultural and operational shifts brought by AI agents, and 67% of respondents see reshaping culture for emerging technology as their responsibility. With 64% of surveyed CMOs now responsible for profitability and 58% accountable for revenue growth, the research underscores the need for greater technology integration and improved cross-functional collaboration to drive business performance. In fact, respondents who report internal collaboration challenges experienced slightly lower (12%) revenue growth in 2024 versus their higher performing peers (13%) – a seemingly modest 1-point gap that could represent $140M in potential upside for an average $14B revenue base. "The companies that will dominate the next decade are the ones with the deepest AI integrations. This means starting with AI at the core of the organization and building the right operating model and team on top of that," said Jonathan Adashek, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications, IBM."For many CMOs, this means being willing to admit that our current marketing model—no matter how comfortable, how familiar, or how challenging to replace—is not delivering what is needed and actively sabotaging our future." Other key findings include: As CMOs embrace AI strategies, they may be unprepared to deliver results 65% agree AI-literate talent is critical for achieving high priority objectives, yet only 21% of respondents believe they have the talent needed to achieve their goals for the next two years. 22% of surveyed organizations have established clear guidelines and guardrails for the use of AI in automated decision-making, which means roughly 8 out of 10 have work to do to guide employees through a major shift in ways of working. 62% of respondents say the pace of change creates tensions between demand and operations functions. Just under a quarter (24%) of respondents say they have technology platforms supporting consistent cross-functional collaboration, and just 44% have integrated systems for demand planning and fulfillment. 69% of surveyed CMOs acknowledge that new privacy regulations will require them to rethink their data strategy. Operational silos and fragmented technology may be hindering performance Only 28% of surveyed organizations report that the end-to-end customer experience is effectively owned and aligned across functions, which can impact financial performance. Respondents indicate that fully aligning marketing, sales and operations could unlock a 20% increase in their organization's revenue. Surveyed CMOs identify their top data-related challenges as syncing or automating workflows across multiple systems, data fragmentation and having too many tools and platforms to manage. Roughly 7 in 10 (68%) of CMOs surveyed say simplifying technology infrastructure will enhance their operational efficiency and effectiveness. When asked about their greatest challenge over the next three years, cybersecurity and data privacy top the list, followed by technology modernization, forecast accuracy and talent recruiting/retention.

IBM Study: Businesses View AI Agents as Essential, Not Just Experimental
Surveyed executives report anticipated 8x surge in AI-enabled workflows by 2025, with AI agents improving process efficiency, reducing costs, and changing workflows. Respondents say that 64% of AI budgets are now spent on core business functions. Over two-thirds (69%) of executives surveyed say 'improved decision-making' is the number one benefit of agentic AI systems. ARMONK, N.Y., June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study by the IBM (NYSE: IBM) Institute for Business Value reveals that enterprises are expected to significantly scale AI-enabled workflows, many driven by agentic AI, relying on them for improved decision making and automation. The AI Projects to Profits study, which surveyed 2,900 executives globally, revealed that respondents expect AI-enabled workflows to grow from 3% today to 25% by the end of 2025. With 70% of surveyed executives indicating that agentic AI is important to their organization's future, the research suggests that many organizations are actively encouraging experimentation. As the pace of digital transformation accelerates, enterprises can turn to AI agents as the next evolution of intelligent automation. 83% of respondents say they expect AI agents to improve process efficiency and output by 2026, and 71% believe agents will autonomously adapt to changing workflows. "We see more clients looking at agentic AI as the key to help them move past incremental productivity gains and actually gain business value from AI, especially when applied in their core processes like supply chain and HR," said Francesco Brenna, VP & Senior Partner, AI Integration Services, IBM Consulting. "This isn't about plugging an agent into an existing process and hoping for the best. It means re-architecting how the process is executed, redesigning the user experience, orchestrating agents end-to-end, and integrating the right data to provide context, memory, and intelligence throughout." These are the top five benefits of agentic AI systems that are driving adoption across industries, according to the report: Over two-thirds (69%) of executives surveyed say 'improved decision-making' is the number one benefit of agentic AI systems. 67% of those surveyed cite 'cost reduction through automation' as a benefit. Almost half (47%) of leaders surveyed indicate 'competitive advantage' as a top benefit of agentic AI systems. 'Scaled employee experience' is cited as a top benefit, according to 44% of executives surveyed. 42% of those surveyed indicate that 'improved talent retention' is another major benefit to implementing agentic AI systems. Though benefits were cited among those surveyed, concerns with agentic AI adoption are still present among leaders. Those surveyed indicate that concerns around data (49%), trust issues (46%) and skills shortages (42%) remain barriers to adoption for their organizations. Other key findings include: Executives surveyed indicate that AI investment has grown to about 12% of IT spend in 2024. By 2026, the participants indicated they expect this number is to increase by over two-thirds to account for 20% of IT spend. Respondents say that 64% of AI budgets are now spent on core business functions, underscoring AI's move from an experimentation phase to an important part of business strategy. The proportion of surveyed organizations relying on an ad hoc approach to AI has declined from a reported 19% last year to just 6% today, indicating increased confidence and commitment to AI-driven transformation. One in four companies surveyed are already using an "AI-first" approach Among those with an "AI-first" approach, respondents say they attribute more than half of their revenue growth (52%) and operating margin improvements (54%) to AI initiatives in the last 12 months To view the full study, visit Study Methodology:The IBM Institute for Business Value study, in partnership with Oxford Economics, draws insights from two 2025 surveys: the "AI at the core survey" (2,500 executives across 18 industries and 19 regions) and the "Agentic AI pulse survey" (400 C-suite executives across 15 roles, 11 industries, and 6 countries). Survey questions explored AI's current role in business operations, including its impact on revenue, profitability, productivity, and resource efficiency. Further analysis was conducted to identify key relationships, trends and associations within the dataset.

IBM Study: CEOs Double Down on AI While Navigating Enterprise Hurdles
CEO respondents say they expect the growth rate of AI investments will more than double over the next two years 50% of surveyed CEOs report that rapid investment has resulted in disconnected technology within their organization ARMONK, N.Y., May 6, 2025 /CNW/ -- A new global study by the IBM (NYSE: IBM) Institute for Business Value found that surveyed CEOs are committed to advancing AI solutions across their organization even as they face challenges from accelerating technology adoption. The IBM CEO study,* which surveyed 2,000 CEOs globally, revealed that executive respondents expect the growth rate of AI investments to more than double in the next two years, and 61% confirm they are actively adopting AI agents today and preparing to implement them at scale. According to the findings, 68% of surveyed CEOs identify integrated enterprise-wide data architecture as critical for cross-functional collaboration, and 72% view their organization's proprietary data as key to unlocking the value of generative AI. However, the research indicates organizations may be struggling to cultivate an effective data environment: half (50%) of respondents acknowledge that the pace of recent investments has left their organization with disconnected, piecemeal technology. In the foreword of the study, IBM Vice Chairman Gary Cohn writes, "As AI adoption accelerates creating greater efficiency, and productivity gains, the ultimate pay-off will only come to CEOs with the courage to embrace risk as opportunity. Meaning, focusing on what you can control, especially when there is so much you can't. When the business environment is uncertain, using AI and your enterprise data to identify where you have leverage is a competitive advantage. At this point, leaders who aren't leveraging AI and their own data to move forward are making a conscious business decision not to compete." "CEOs are balancing the pressures of short-term ROI and investing in long-term innovation when it comes to adopting AI," said Mohamad Ali, Senior Vice President and Head of IBM Consulting. "But we know that organizations that keep innovating, especially during periods of uncertainty, will emerge stronger and be better positioned to capitalize on new opportunities." Other key findings include: Surveyed CEOs report that only 25% of AI initiatives have delivered expected ROI over the last few years, and only 16% have scaled enterprise wide. To accelerate progress, two-thirds (65%) of CEO respondents say their organization is leaning into AI use cases based on ROI, with 68% reporting that their organization has clear metrics to measure innovation ROI effectively. Just over half (52%) of CEO respondents say their organization is realizing value from generative AI investments beyond cost reduction. 64% of CEOs surveyed acknowledge that the risk of falling behind drives investment in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring to the organization, but only 37% say it's better to be "fast and wrong" than "right and slow" when it comes to technology adoption. 59% of surveyed CEOs admit their organization struggles to balance funding for existing operations and investment in innovation when unexpected change occurs, as 67% say more budget flexibility is needed to capitalize on digital opportunities that drive long-term growth and innovation. By 2027, 85% of surveyed CEOs expect their investments in scaled AI efficiency and cost savings to have returned a positive ROI, while 77% expect to see a positive return from their investments in scaled AI growth and expansion. CEOs see strategic leadership and specialized talent as essential to unlocking AI value, amid expertise and skills gaps 69% of CEO respondents say their organization's success is directly tied to maintaining a broad group of leaders with a deep understanding of strategy and the authority to make critical decisions. 67% of CEOs surveyed say that differentiation depends on having the right expertise in the right positions with the right incentives. CEOs cite lack of collaboration across organizational silos, aversion to risk and disruption, and lack of expertise and knowledge as top barriers to innovation in their organization. Surveyed CEOs say roughly one-third (31%) of the workforce will require retraining and/or reskilling over the next three years, while 65% say their organization will use automation to address skill gaps. 54% of CEO respondents say they are hiring for roles related to AI that did not exist a year ago.

IBM and Palo Alto Networks find platformization is key to reduce cybersecurity complexity
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – New global research from the IBM (NYSE: IBM) Institute for Business Value (IBV) and Palo Alto Networks® (NASDAQ: PANW), found that surveyed organizations are facing security complexity challenges as they juggle an average of 83 different security solutions from 29 vendors. It also shows 7 out of 10 surveyed companies with a high degree of security platformization report their cybersecurity investments have helped business outcomes such as operational efficiencies and revenue generation. In the study, 'Capturing the cybersecurity dividend: How security platforms generate business value,' more than half (52%) of surveyed executives note fragmentation of security solutions is limiting their ability to deal with cyber threats, but 75% of organizations that have embraced security platformization agree that better integration across security, hybrid cloud, AI, and other technology platforms is crucial. The analysis suggests the trend of adding more solutions to combat evolving security threats is contributing to inefficiency – impacting both performance and the bottom line – while moving to a platformized security approach can help businesses achieve reduced response times and costs without sacrificing security efficacy. Cybersecurity Complexity is a Daunting Reality Increased digital interconnectedness expands attack surfaces and can create new cybersecurity vulnerabilities. Cyberattacks are becoming more sophisticated and harder to defend against, while AI is being used by both defenders and attackers, creating a race in cybersecurity capabilities. In an evolving threat landscape, surveyed executives estimate security fragmentation and complexity costs their organizations an average of 5% of their annual revenue. For a $20 billion annual revenue company, that's a $1 billion cost to the business in aggregate. Tally the costs of security incidents, lost productivity, failed digital transformations, stalled AI initiatives, loss of customer trust and reputational damage and the numbers add up. 'Organizations continue to be challenged with updating their security posture to address new threats, while simultaneously being pressed to reduce complexity and decrease spend,' said Mark Hughes, Global Managing Partner for Cybersecurity Services, IBM. 'Security executives need to enable innovation, protect assets and derive value from their cybersecurity investments to help their organizations thrive and further their business goals.' 'We have seen the positive impacts of adopting a platformized approach to security, and the benefits it delivers to organizations. In today's AI-fueled world, strong partnerships are more essential than ever,' said Karim Temsamani, President, Next Generation Security, Palo Alto Networks. 'IBM and Palo Alto Networks are aligned on a common vision of creating better outcomes for our customers - whether in value, operational, or security…and platformization accomplishes all of them. This isn't just about improving fragmentation today, it's about enabling better outcomes for the future.' Key insights from surveyed business leaders: 52% of executives say complexity is the biggest impediment to their cybersecurity operations; 80% agree they face pressure to reduce the cost of security, and 41% say security fragmentation has driven up procurement costs; 4 out of 5 non-platform organizations say their security operations cannot effectively deal with the sheer quantity of threats and attacks; 80% of platformization adopters say they have full visibility into potential vulnerabilities and threats; and, For platformized organizations, mean time to identify (MTTI) and mean time to contain (MTTC) security incidents are shorter by an average of 72 and 84 days, respectively. Enhancing Businesses with Platformization: Unleashing the Power of Digital Transformation In today's world, the research finds effective security requires platformization. Consolidating multiple tools into a unified platform not only bolsters security posture but enables organizations to experience nearly 4 times better return on investment (ROI) from their cybersecurity investments, leading to revenue generation and increased operational efficiencies. When it comes to AI, a platform approach can also enable an organization to better ingest and analyze data to deliver actionable insights. With 90% of surveyed executives expecting to scale, optimize, or innovate with AI within the next two years, integrating AI into their platforms can play a critical role in advancing their security preparedness. For example, accelerating adoption of agentic AI for security and tapping platformization for fewer investment cycles; or, using platformization to create the common governance needed to deliver the AI capabilities shaping the future. By adopting a platformization approach, businesses can align technologies, drive innovation, and prioritize security as a core business requirement. Through IBM and Palo Alto Networks' strategic partnership, the companies are bringing together leading security platforms, AI, and transformation capabilities to help organizations confidently navigate their digital transformation journey, achieve their desired outcomes and drive substantial business value. Tips for Platformization Success Choose partners that streamline your security mission and trim those that don't. Critically evaluate current and potential technology, services, and support partners, and make hard decisions about where to double down and when to part ways. Run your playbook. Stage incident response drills to assess where a unified platform can deliver the greatest impact. Take action to improve your incident response capabilities. Help your business get prepared to respond to threats by putting it to the test. Visit a cyber range to prepare business and technical teams to address the latest cyber threats through an immersive, organization-wide business-focused engagement. IBM and Palo Alto Networks now provide a joint Cyber Range experience in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where clients can leverage the facility to support continuous improvement, training, and change management as they transform their security operating models with platformization.
