Nearly half of enterprises are struggling to keep pace with disruption. Largely down to a combination of fragmented AI, workplace, and infrastructure strategies, according to Dell's latest Modern Enterprise Readiness Report.
Disconnected projects slow businesses down. Outdated hardware creates an AI bottleneck. Leaders need an integrated strategy where devices, infrastructure, and security work as one connected system.
On this special edition of the ITPro Podcast, in association with Dell Technologies, Global Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer of Dell Technologies, John Roese, talks through the findings of the Modern Enterprise Readiness Report and how businesses can close the execution gap.
For businesses looking to learn more about how they can advance their adoption of AI, John will be sharing additional insights during his keynote presentation at Dell Technologies Forum London on November 24th 2026.
Highlights
“As anybody who's ever worked in an enterprise knows, the technology is actually not the hard part. It's organizational dynamics, prioritization, regulatory regimes, all of the things that are what are called execution”
“If you are not willing to do that restructuring and reorganization of your fundamental processes, then your adoption of AI — even if you're successful with it — will be marginal. It will give you 15% improvement. Our experience has been that when you've completely redesigned the process, when you go in with an open mind, and you realize what the technology can do, and you rethink the distribution of work, you can see orders of magnitude improvement of the actual overall process versus just a marginal 10, 15% improvement.”

AI tools like copilots, chatbots, and agents have rapidly taken root in the workplace in the years since ChatGPT brought the technology into the mainstream. The initial promise was that AI would lighten the load and help workers carry out tasks without having to learn new skills. In reality, that’s not quite what happened.
Barriers to adoption have led to a growing AI skills gap in companies driven not by a lack of understanding of how to use the technology, but by a lack of understanding of how the technology works and what its weaknesses are.
On this week’s episode, Jane and Ross are joined by Greg Hanson, VP and head of EMEA North at Informatica from Salesforce, to discuss the impact this can have on companies and whether there is a straightforward way to overcome it.
