Not that long ago, companies assumed that their IT and network strategy delivered a unified, borderless platform, enabling a seamless flow of data and services worldwide. But now, these assumptions are being called into question by a combination of geopolitical pressures, digital sovereignty laws , and diverse regulatory regimes . Businesses now find themselves confronted by a fragmented digital environment – sometimes referred to as the splinternet . This fragmentation is re

The Munich Security Conference  is fast approaching, and resilience – particularly enterprise resilience – and cybersecurity will be center stage at this year’s event. That’s hardly surprising. Cybersecurity is at an inflection point, with 87% of security leaders now believing that AI is driving increasingly frequent and sophisticated attacks . Yet only 29% feel adequately equipped to counter this threat . Traditionally, cybersecurity has relied on an intrinsically reactive m

As in 2025, AI will continue to play a dominant role in the coming year. The key difference, however, is that we’re now moving away from experimentation and toward adoption. While some 88% of organizations report regular AI use , only a small fraction can scale AI across multiple processes. As a result, digital transformation success rates  are stagnant at around 35%. Worse still, only 2% of organizations  can be described as well prepared for AI adoption. The message is clea

As generative AI continues to advance, it’s raising questions about the future of many sectors. One such question concerns the role of consulting in the age of artificial intelligence. While I see no real risk of AI replacing consulting completely, the domain is certainly set to undergo far-reaching transformation. Even today, artificial intelligence is automating routine diagnostic workstreams, slide decks, and some parts of strategic analysis. Looking ahead, Gartner predict

This month I’d like to focus on a topic that I already spotlighted back in 2019  and 2021 : digital twins. In the years since these posts were published, the role of the tech has changed radically. Digital-twin technology is now about far more than just operational efficiency. In fact, it’s developed into a genuine strategic asset, transforming the way that organizations plan, decide, and compete. And going forward, it’s set to give impetus to Europe’s digital future. The mar
