In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, decision-makers within organizations face numerous challenges—from keeping pace with AI advancements to understanding new cybersecurity regulations. The Kyndryl Institute is designed to equip these leaders with essential, time-sensitive perspectives to help guide their strategic decisions.Led by a diverse advisory board of experts spanning various sectors, this initiative seeks to compile and deliver original ideas that address the challenges faced by executives today.

In an inaugural set of publications, The Kyndryl Institute features views from prominent thought leaders, addressing pressing issues such as digital trade and enterprise readiness for AI. For instance, Peter Mandelson, co-founder of Global Counsel and former European Trade Commissioner, discusses the importance of digital trade frameworks for global commerce. He highlights the crucial decision policymakers face between restricting digital trade or fostering an environment conducive to transformational change and innovation.
Similarly, insights shared by Klon Kitchen, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, emphasize the need for organizations to prepare for AI’s overarching impact. He points out that it's not just about integrating AI into businesses; leaders must also take national security considerations into account as they work towards embracing this revolutionary technology.
