How to balance AI investment and digital strategy

Digital budgets are climbingfast—projected to grow from 8% of revenue in 2024 to 32% by 2028.

But as organizations fuel AI and data, other foundational tech investments risk being left behind.

The reality is that no single technology can carry enterprise value alone.

In Deloitte’s 2025 Tech Value survey of nearly 550 leaders, AI and data emerged as top investment areas, drawing budgets faster than any other technology. But delivering ROI requires more than AI spend. It demands orchestration across platforms, trust in outcomes, and clear value measures.

Join us for an interactive discussion on how to rebalance investments to unlock long-term value.

We’ll explore how to:

  • Rethink digital budgets to balance AI with foundational tech investments.
  • Expand how you measure success—beyond tech ROI—to capture broader business value,
  • Strengthen leadership alignment on digital priorities and funding strategies.
  • Build resilience and agility through cyber readiness, strategic focus, and empowered leadership.
  • Walk away with practical strategies to recalibrate your strategy for balanced, sustainable growth in the AI era.
