Enterprise IT budgets aren’t collapsing – but the bar for investment just got higher.

Our 2025 Senior Leaders’ IT Investment survey reveals a sharp divide: while 76% of executives expect their IT spend to grow; only 45%  have the headroom to drive true innovation without hard trade-offs. New investment is concentrating into a few critical areas, while operational discipline and board-level governance are reshaping what gets funded – and what gets deferred.

In this expert-led session, we’ll unpack how senior leaders are recalibrating priorities under pressure from market volatility as a result of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty. We expose, why solution providers must rethink how they position offerings to align with the new approval logic, and how subtle generational shifts inside leadership teams are influencing how fast, or cautiously, investment decisions are made.
