Last night I attended a C-Level dinner hosted by NTT DATA, centred around the role of AI in transforming client engagements. What stood out to me was the intentional shift away from presentations and into peer dialogue which something our industry needs far more of. Across the table, a consistent theme emerged which is that AI is no longer a “technology initiative”, it is a leadership conversation. We discussed the reality that: 1. C-level leaders are under pressure to make AI meaningful, not just measurable. 2. Executive teams require a mindset shift, moving away from traditional linear adoption models to more adaptive, intelligence-driven thinking. 3. And importantly, Agentic AI is not a silver bullet but it is an enabler that demands clarity, governance, and organisational readiness. What resonated with me most is that we are now in a phase where leadership maturity around AI matters as much as technical capability. The businesses that win will be those that treat AI as a strategic operating model, not a tool. A big thank you to NTT DATA for facilitating a thoughtful and future-focused discussion. I’m looking forward to re-grouping with the same leaders soon to reflect on how far we’ve progressed , not just in adoption, but in how we think, lead, and transform through AI. #AILeadership #AgenticAI #DigitalTransformation #EnterpriseAI #AIInnovation #FutureOfWork #LeadershipDevelopment #ExecutiveLeadership #AIMindset #IntelligentAutomation #InnovationLeadership #TechStrategy #CLevelInsights #AIAdoption #BusinessTransformation #DataDrivenLeadership

When we’re no longer buried in transactional tasks, our contribution shifts from doing to understanding — from producing output to creating insight. That’s where the next generation of leadership is headed. C-suites that harness AI and intelligent automation aren’t just cutting costs — they’re compounding capability. When transactional work disappears, executives finally have the bandwidth to: • See patterns across the enterprise • Anticipate instead of react • Align people and technology around outcomes, not effort At OTG Consulting, we call this operating at the insight level. It’s how forward-thinking CIOs, CTOs, and CFOs are driving growth in 2025 — not by doing more, but by understanding more. If your leadership meetings are still dominated by operational noise… it’s time to reframe the work. #AIOrchestration #CIO #CTO #CFO #DigitalTransformation #OTGConsulting #Leadership
