The Kyndryl Readiness Report combines the insights from 3,700 leaders from 21 countries with data from Kyndryl Bridge, the company’s AI-powered business platform, to show the real-world IT and workforce strategies that get businesses ready for the future.
Business and technology leaders in the United States diverge from their global peers across a few key areas. They tend to be more confident about their cloud strategy and report being farther along their AI transformation journey. These organizations are well-poised to convert early momentum into sustained competitive advantage.
While U.S.-based companies report lower concern across many external risks, overall readiness remains challenged, especially in core infrastructure and resilience. At the same time, U.S. leaders report higher confidence in their innovation culture, greater AI usage and more deliberate cloud strategy than global peers – an important mix as organizations move from AI experimentation to scalable value.
