FutureCIO discussions with CIOs and business leaders in Asia reveal key trends such as strategies revolving around increased AI integration, hybrid cloud adoption for flexibility and compliance, and the growth of edge computing for real-time data processing. Organizations are also prioritizing sustainability and security, with a focus on green cloud solutions and robust compliance frameworks. Into 2026, FutureCIO polls suggest that the convergence of AI and hybrid cloud will further accelerate digital transformation and innovation across various industries. Among the key trends we anticipate to arise from these include the strategic adoption of AI-powered hybrid cloud solutions, the rise of AI-as-a-Service (AIaaS), and the increasing use of cloud-native applications and SaaS-based intelligent solutions. In this PodChats for FutureCIO, Sean Flanagan, IBM vice president for IBM Power and IBM Cloud Technical Sales shares his observations of the challenges businesses around the world face as they modernise their operations, supported by hybrid cloud infrastructure that is expected to be secure and dynamically adaptive to evolving demands and regulation.1.       What are the key considerations for workload placement between on-premises data centres and hybrid cloud environments?2.       Business leaders are demanding CIOs modernise current infrastructure to take advantage of the promise of AI. At the same time CIOs are asked to make sure new IT strategies support sustainability initiatives. How can we balance AI infrastructure growth with sustainability and energy efficiency goals?3.       Legacy applications continue to be at the core of many governments and businesses in Asia. IDC found that over 60% of applications in use today are legacy systems. What strategies can we adopt to modernise legacy applications and maximise developer productivity using AI-driven tools?4.       Are AI-powered tools better than the best experienced technology experts?5.       CFOs are increasingly focused on cost optimization within their cloud environments, calling for strategies to manage and reduce cloud spending effectively.  How do flexible consumption models, such as IBM Power Virtual Server, support business agility and cost control?6.       IDC estimates that over 77% of organisations in Asia Pacific operate in a multicloud or hybrid cloud environment. This trend will continue as wholesale transformation and modernisation become essential to evolving business models. Disruptions, both planned and unplanned are inevitable. How can business maximise availability of their IT services?7.       Given all the innovations to date, including the new IBM Power 11, what advise can you offer CIOs and business leaders in Asia as they look to better optimise their workloads regardless of where the applications are running?

Digital transformation is a term often tossed around in boardrooms but rarely understood in its full depth and breadth. David Rogers joins us on this episode of The Innovation Engine podcast to discuss his latest book, The Digital Transformation Roadmap, and his vast experience advising a bevy of top-tier corporate clients including Google, Microsoft, Citigroup, and Toyota. A renowned faculty member at Columbia Business School, expert in digital transformation, and the brain behind several groundbreaking books on the subject, David is the perfect voice of reason to bring a logical understanding to this vital concept. David underscores the significant differences between a digital-first startup and a legacy enterprise attempting to make its products and services viable in the digital realm. He emphasizes that digital transformation is not a short-term project, but a continuous journey intertwined with both digital strategy and sweeping organizational change. In David's latest book, The Digital Transformation Roadmap, he outlines the Five Steps for Digital Transformation: Define a Shared Vision: This involves crafting a vision unique to the organization. It should be more specific than just wanting to "go digital" and should be commonly understood by everyone in the company. Pick the Problems that Matter Most: Prioritize key issues and be willing to say no to less important opportunities. Validating New Ventures: Shift from traditional planning-focused models to iterative processes that allow for continuous learning and adaptation. Managing Growth at Scale: Adopt different management or governance models that can work across multiple teams and cater to different strategic opportunities. Growing Technology, Talent, and Culture: Identify gaps in technology infrastructure, talent, and company culture, and address these. The process is cyclical, not linear, and the steps should be revisited regularly for continuous adaptation and improvement. Tune in for an insightful journey into the heart of digital transformation with one of the foremost thought leaders in the field.

Sam Yen, the Chief Innovation Officer for Commercial Banking at JPMorgan Chase, joins us for this episode of The Innovation Engine to discuss Innovation by Design and Scaling Innovation. Sam is responsible for JPMorgan Chase's digital products, platforms, innovation, and product strategy, so there is a massive amount of responsibility that falls under his purview. We kick off the episode by diving into Sam's guiding principles for leading teams and prioritizing work in a financial institution of JPMorgan Chase's scale. He stresses the importance of being customer or client-centered, maintaining effective communication, ensuring a deep understanding of end-to-end experiences in product delivery, and keeping the bigger picture in mind while fostering a culture of quick learning and iteration. Sam shares his insights on the power of design in crafting user experiences that are intuitive, delightful, and even "forgettable" in terms of ease of use. We discuss the challenges and constraints of fostering innovation in a large financial institution and how the constraints by which financial services companies are bound can, perhaps counterintuitively, lead to more focused solutions. We also cover Sam's previous work at SAP and the four phases of scaling innovation in large organizations he uncovered with Janaki Kumar and Baba Shiv. The four phases Sam details on the innovation journey run from the "lonely soldier phase" all the way through to a fully scaled culture of innovation. Episode Highlights Why the role of design includes but also extends well beyond delivering a delightful and intuitive user experience The concept of thinking of risk as a line of boxes that gets increasingly larger over time, and the process of de-risking ideas incrementally as they scale Why innovation requires excelling at both creativity AND execution; you don't get to pick just one Sam shares why the emphasis that's often placed on creative problem solving would be even more productive if it were instead placed on creative problem finding The value of diverse teams in delivering innovative solutions and the difference between constructive tension and destructive tension About Sam Yen Sam Yen is an acclaimed design leader who has had an exceptional career trajectory. Prior to his role as Chief Innovation Officer for Commercial Banking at JPMorgan Chase, he served as Managing Director for SAP Silicon Valley and was SAP's first Chief Design Officer. At SAP, Sam led their Design Thinking practice both internally and for customers. Sam offers a valuable perspective on integrating design principles at the highest levels of corporate decision-making and scaling innovation throughout large organizations.

• What every organization needs – and what to avoid • “Entrepreneurs and innovators need to think about how society is going to react” (Total Recorded Time is 17:22) Are you suffering from “innovation fatigue?” That's the term used by Los Angeles Times technology columnist Brian Merchant who says that over the past 20 years, “there's been advance after advance — some of them great and compelling, others less so” making it harder to be completely optimistic about any of them. Michael Goldsby, who is chief entrepreneurship officer at Ball State University where he is also distinguished professor of entrepreneurship, says even if some might be feeling drained, such an attitude could endanger companies. But not just any innovation is good, he cautions. “Entrepreneurs and innovators need to think about how society is going to react,” he says, “because if society doesn't like the way it's perceiving that innovation, through legislation and other means they can shut those types of things down.” It didn't quite happen that way for Eastman Kodak. Instead, its failure to recognize game-changing innovation – digital photography replacing film -- doomed the company. “There's a lot of research that says it doesn't hurt a big company to have maybe just a small group exploring the possibilities of other technologies,” Mr. Goldsby says. In this edition of Bizgnus Interviews, Michael Goldsby offers his thoughts on how to recognaize and cultivate innovation in organizations. Please click here to watch the interview: https://youtu.be/e0iWHAkc5aA In addition to dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles on entrepreneurship, business ethics, self-leadership, fitness and wellbeing, creativity, and innovation, he is co-author of the books “Corporate Innovation: Disruptive Thinking in Organizations,” “Innovation the Disney Way,” and “Design-Centered Entrepreneurship,” now in its second edition. Mr. Goldsby helped design, build, maintain, and operate a golf course owned and managed by his uncle Les and Aunt Joann before receiving his doctoral degree. He has also run in 25 marathons (including eight Boston Marathons) and participated in Ironman triathlons. For more information: mind2momentum.com

We are all excited when we hear success stories of companies implementing new business models and launching innovative products. It means evolution and creating value for customers. But the reality is not that bright: According to McKinsey, 70% percent of transformations fail. The contributing factors for failure include insufficient high aspirations, a lack of engagement within the organization, and insufficient investment in building capabilities across the organization to sustain the change. Another sad reality is that there is no model that can fit the particularities of a specific industry – we can't just say lets go and invest on technology, let's have agile processes or let's invest on what we need and we will get results. Fortunately in this episode of Learn with Bessern - our guest Jorge Castellote is a thought leader on this topic.

On this episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast – Interview Series, Ron Westfall and Steven Dickens are joined by distinguished guests Andy Hartland, Senior Consultant at Mainline Information Systems and Andrew Gracey, Product Manager for Developer Experience as SUSE. Our discussion focused on the major trends and drivers as well as the main challenges in optimizing container management capabilities across swiftly evolving developer and IT Operations environments. Aligned with our discussion, we drilled down in our latest white paper, SUSE's Innovation Engine Roars: SUSE Rancher Now on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE — done in partnership with SUSE — to explore why many organizations such as Mainline Information Systems rely on IBM's zSystems and LinuxONE infrastructure to fulfill their container and Kubernetes requirements. How open-source adoption and IT operations that rely on technologies like Kubernetes running on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE based platforms can use SUSE Rancher to drive transformation without sacrificing the power of rapidly emerging new operational cloud-native paradigms. Our conversation with Andy and Andrew highlighted the following top considerations: What were Mainline's main objectives for adopting SUSE Rancher Why customers want SUSE Rancher on their mainframes Mainline's experience in adopting SUSE Rancher How customers are gaining value from SUSE Rancher implementations Why organizations should consider adopting SUSE Rancher over do-it-yourself Kubernetes implementations It was a great and stimulating conversation and one you don't want to miss. Interested in learning more about SUSE Rancher on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE? Want to learn more about the SUSE Rancher portfolio and why it's well-suited to fulfilling the pivot to containerized microservices and reimagining cloud native infrastructures? Check out our latest report — SUSE's Innovation Engine Roars: SUSE Rancher Now on IBM zSystems and LinuxONE — done in collaboration with SUSE.

As the novel coronavirus surfaced in Wuhan in 2019, Chinese officials called for mobile isolation wards. Haier Group partnered with suppliers to design and construct units quickly, thanks to the openness of the leading manufacturer's digital platforms. Unlike Haier, many companies have tightly regulated, siloed platforms. Georgetown Professor Kasra Ferdows says more companies can unlock innovations by extending their platforms to facilitate a broader range of collaborations. He breaks down how Haier capitalizes on the expertise and resources of its ecosystem and rapidly exploits new business opportunities. Ferdows is a coauthor of the HBR article "How to Turn a Supply Chain Platform into an Innovation Engine."

In episode 75 of the Aerospace Advantage, A New Air Force Innovation Engine: WARTECH, host John “Slick” Baum is joined by Kristen Baldwin, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, Technology and Engineering; Chris Ristich, Director of the Air Force Strategic Development Planning and Experimentation Office and the Transformational Capabilities Office at Air Force Research Lab; and Mitchell Institute's Maj Gen (ret) Larry Stutzriem to discuss one of the service's newest innovation efforts. It's called WARTECH and it's run by a team at Air Force Research Lab to deliver combat capabilities in a faster, more responsive fashion. They are focused on big-leap capabilities the Air Force needs to deter, and if necessary, win in peer-level conflict. AFRL is committing significant resources to it—about 20% of the AFRL budget. That means WARTECH is a top priority. As they say, “no bucks, no Buck Rogers.” We talk to the leaders behind this effort to learn more about it, understand how it integrates across the service, and what it will mean at the operational edge.
