Spending time with CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs continues to reinforce how rapidly the leadership agenda around AI is evolving. The most compelling conversations are no longer about tools alone, but about scaling impact—through architecture, governance, and, critically, people.

Sharing a few themes that really stood out.  Thanks to all those who made this event possible!

I spent the morning volunteering at The Freestore Foodbank as part of EY Connect Day, an Americas-wide day of service connecting EY to the communities where we live and work.  The Freestore Foodbank is doing incredible work to eliminate hunger, and giving back alongside colleagues always leaves me feeling refreshed and grateful.

content: The latest EY CEO Global Outlook report highlights a clear shift in how leaders are approaching AI and growth. As organizations move beyond experimentation, the focus is increasingly on execution, where the ability to translate AI investments into measurable outcomes is becoming a key differentiator for leadership teams.

content: Audit is evolving from a point-in-time exercise into a far more continuous and insight-driven process. With AI and data at the core, the modern audit is helping organizations surface risks earlier and turn assurance into a source of ongoing insight and confidence.

content: Agentic AI is changing the economics of enterprise AI, shifting costs from fixed to highly variable. Token costs may dominate the conversation today, but they are only one part of a much broader cost model, making it critical to focus on total cost and the value these systems deliver.

content: Focusing only on efficiency can limit how organizations think about the role AI can play. The bigger opportunity lies in how it can unlock new capabilities, drive innovation and create more meaningful work across the enterprise.

content: Cyber resilience is moving beyond compliance as expectations around risk and assurance evolve. As AI reshapes the threat landscape, organizations need stronger accountability and more adaptive approaches to ensure their controls remain effective in a changing environment.
