Rapid advancements in technology promise endless potential, but Australia’s tech leaders are worried about falling behind â€� and risk making hurried, misguided and costly decisions.  

To unlock the true value of transformation, organisations need to strike a balance between keeping up and being strategic, making evidence-based decisions to adopt solutions that are resilient, safe and responsible. 

To understand if and how they are achieving this balance, we surveyed technology leaders in Australia and around the world. 

The ÀÖÓ㣨Leyu£©ÌåÓý¹ÙÍø global tech report 2024 examines insights from 2,450 tech professionals spanning 26 countries and 8 industries. The report shares how they’re keeping up with the pace of technology and how high performers are looking beyond the hype to balance speed, security and value.

Global tech report: industry insights

What's top of mind for Australian CIOs?

worry about keeping up with the pace of change
feel their role has evolved significantly over the past two years
plan to invest in XaaS and 66% plan to invest in AI and automation in the next year
are focused on new tech rather than uplifting existing tech
prefer open collaboration for AI adoption (74% globally)
experience disruptions to business-as-usual on a weekly basis due to flaws in foundational IT systems (57% globally)

When it comes to innovation, a dominant theme among Australian respondents is the fear of falling behind the competition. The truth, however, is more nuanced. The real leaders are those CIOs that see through the hype and find sustainable value without increasing risk or technical debt.
