Every organization has an AI strategy, or at least an implementation plan. The harder question is no longer whether to adopt AI, but how to manage the risk, exposure, and business tradeoffs that come with it.
John has been around these industry-defining inflection points for over 30 years and will guide us through the pink fog of hype surrounding AI to offer some solid, actionable advice.
The webinar will cover why:
- Organizations will build 10% AI-driven productivity increases into budgets
- Cybersecurity will rank among the top four priorities for organizations
- Third-party and ecosystem risk will increase due to AI vendor sprawl
- 2026 will be a solid year for both IPOs and M&As

“AI is not a bubble,” John writes. “It will accelerate even faster in 2026 and in the next decade – but there will be failures, with major impact (spectacular trainwrecks).”
“Fasten your seatbelts,” John concludes.
