\n New Experis research reveals CIOs’ top priorities have shifted dramatically in just one year, as AI transforms what leadership requires.<\/i>\n <\/p>\n

\n MILWAUKEE<\/span>, June 11, 2026<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ — One year ago, cybersecurity kept CIOs up at night. Today, business-IT alignment has overtaken cybersecurity as the top CIO priority for the first time, as technology leaders face rising pressure to prove the business value of AI investments. According to the\u00a0CIO 2026 Outlook<\/b><\/a> report released today by Experis<\/b><\/a>, a global leader in technology services and part of the ManpowerGroup<\/b><\/a>\u00ae (NYSE: MAN) family of brands, CIOs are under greater pressure than ever to translate technology potential into measurable business results, even as their peers struggle to grasp what that requires.<\/p>\n

The report draws on responses from 1,930 technology leaders across 12 countries, expanding significantly from the 1,400 respondents across nine countries surveyed in 2025. The broader sample reflects growing global urgency around the CIO function as AI moves from proof of concept to proof of value.<\/p>\n

“CIOs are being asked to lead AI transformation, drive growth, improve productivity, and manage risk all while facing significant talent shortages,” said Kye Mitchell, President of Experis U.S.<\/b> “When 61% of technology leaders say their C-suite peers don’t fully understand the CIO role, it creates a barrier to execution. The organizations that will win with AI are the ones that treat technology leadership as a business leadership function and invest accordingly.”<\/p>\n
