2026: two worlds collide.
The old one is not dying slowly. It is breaking off.
My observation:
Most leaders still treat AI as an IT project — some remain hesitant because of unresolved data protection questions.
But 2026 makes one thing clear: AI is not a tool. AI is the new context.
What that means for you: the old world will not wait until you are ready! Until every concern has been addressed and every question answered.
→ Strategy: your business model must be conceived as AI-native — not AI-augmented.
→ Leadership: AI competence becomes a core capability. It cannot be delegated.
→ Organisation: the question is no longer "Where AI?" — but "Where people? And how do both work together?"
And yet I am confident — why?
→ Our businesses hold a huge treasure trove of data.
→ We must finally start unlocking it.
→ Those who engage consistently with this technology now will not be overtaken — they will help shape what comes next.
That is my invitation for 2026.
What does your AI-first strategy and the resulting AI roadmap for 2026 look like?
