Techtonic States, Chapter 2 - Building a Foundation for Resilience, Agility, and Growth

How are leading organisations staying ahead in an age of disruption?

BDO’s latest global survey of executives reveals that success comes from aligning digital ambition with business strategy, modernising data infrastructure, and empowering people to turn technology into measurable outcomes.

• 57% are fast-tracking AI adoption to gain a competitive advantage.
• 42% say they lack the skills and systems needed to manage disruption effectively.
• While AI now ranks among the top three strategic priorities, only 49% have a clear strategy in place.

 

Chapter 2 of the Techtonic States Report explores practical actions for progress:

• Identify high-value AI use cases that solve real business challenges.
• Align IT and business leaders around a shared roadmap
• Build scalable, trusted data foundations.
• Equip people with the confidence and skills to drive transformation.

The organisations building their edge today are not chasing trends — they’re connecting strategy, data, and human insight to deliver sustainable results.
