Harnessing AI
IT Leadership in the next era of Enterprise Technology
Welcome to the 12th annual Logicalis Australia CIO Report 2026
An inflection point in Australia's AI journey
Quote from Lisa Fortey
What began as experimentation is rapidly becoming expectation. AI is now a core business priority — and the question is no longer whether to invest, but how to translate ambition into scaled, sustainable outcomes.
What you'll discover
Our most controversial report to date reveals that organisations are accelerating their investments in AI at a pace that far outstrips their ability to effectively manage it.
This rapid progress has created a widening gap between ambition and operational capability, as governance, skills and infrastructure struggle to keep pace.

How can CIOs regulate pace, define priorities, and preserve coherence at a time when AI momentum is pushing relentlessly forward?
From Confidence to Capability
Scaling AI remains challenging. What barriers exist, and how can CIOs not only overcome them, but actively influence the AI era?
Managing Security in the AI era

The Next Frontier
How are CIOs adapting to become architects of environments where humans, machines and external partners must coexist without compromising responsibility or control?
