Although enterprise AI investment continues to accelerate, confidence in the strategies guiding this transformation is falling. Csuite confidence in AI strategy dropped from 69% in 2024 to just 58% in 2025. The sharpest declines were reported by CTOs and CEOs, down 20 and 33 percentage points respectively—an indication of mounting concerns over AI scalability, implementation delays, and the tangible return on AI investments are yielding meaningful results.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the workplace faster than many expected, creating uncertainty among white-collar workers. According to Mike Small, President of Akkodis North America, this shift isn’t eliminating jobs outright—but it is forcing professionals to rethink their roles.

Softbank is a recognized technology company in Japan, but from a digital transformation perspective, customer perception needed to be more compelling, necessitating a re-branding. The sales representatives needed to be able to offer technology solutions to their customers, not just sell data communications products and services.
