Enterprise AI is maturing—but not evenly.
In this episode of Utilizing AI, Stephen Foskett, Nick Patience, and Jon Swartz break down Futurum Group’s latest AI Decision Maker Survey, which examines how enterprises are approaching AI platforms, model strategy, and agentic AI in 2026.
Based on responses from 820 senior decision-makers across nine industries and six regions, the discussion explores what separates AI leaders from laggards—and what organizations need to do now to stay competitive.
The conversation covers:
• Why multi-model AI is becoming the norm
• What defines enterprise AI power users in 2026
• How leaders and laggards differ in AI maturity
• Why legacy integration and workforce adaptation still slow adoption
• The growing role of agentic AI in enterprise strategy
• Whether the rise of the Chief AI Officer signals a lasting shift
As enterprises move beyond experimentation, AI success increasingly depends on model strategy, organizational alignment, and the ability to deploy across multiple environments.
