Summer brings a welcome change of pace for many CIOs and CISOs. Board and Committee meeting calendars tend to lighten, creating more space to circle back on other committements.

At the same time, summer presents its own challenges. Vacations and time away can create productivity pressures and resource constraints, particularly for organizations managing complex technology projects or transformational initiatives. Maintaining momentum while balancing team availability requires careful planning and strong ex*****on.

At ourCIO, we're helping our clients navigate both sides of the summer equation. Whether it's advancing digital transformation projects, strengthening cybersecurity programs, optimizing IT operations, or supporting leadership teams with strategic technology management, we're focused on ensuring that key initiatives continue to move forward.

As we move through the summer months, we remain committed to helping organizations turn quieter calendars into productive progress so they're well positioned for a strong finish to the year.

1 Month Down and 11 To Go!

Less December holidays, summer slowdown, vacation time, never ending meetings, and hopefully some professional development. Throw in capacity constraints, unexpected priorities, and all the other challenges that will be thrown at you. Maybe you are already second guessing all those 2026 initiatives you defined in your plans.

If there were only 2 of you!

The numbers are in!

Aside from fulfilling roles as CIOs, CTOs and CISOs, here are the top 3 areas companies turned to ourCIO for support in 2025:

3. Taking a more strategic approach to IT
From comprehensive assessments to building strategic IT plans and roadmaps, organizations sought clarity and direction for their technology investments.

2. Meeting regulatory requirements
We helped businesses draft and execute plans to address audit findings and ensure compliance with evolving regulations.

1. Repairing the IT function
This included mending strained relationships with IT service providers, managing transitions, and improving the structure, performance, and delivery of internal IT teams.

One may have expected AI to be on the list. While we are supporting companies in exploring and adopting new strategies which involve AI, we only observed minimal investments across the small and midsize business space.

What new challenges and opportunities will 2026 brings to the table?
