In an era where every outage, audit, and cyberattack is a test of organisational survival, resilience has become the new currency of trust. While traditional perimeter security with: firewalls, intrusion detection, and scanners, remains essential, it is no longer a sufficient guarantee against modern threats that bypass these layers to penetrate your core systems. Today, enterprises require security and continuity that are built-in, not bolted-on. This CIONET roundtable focuses on the shift from reactive disaster recovery to proactive Business Continuity. Together with experts from HPE Zerto, we will explore how organisations can transform their recovery strategies into seamless continuity models.

AI is no longer confined to supporting human tasks. We are entering the agentic era, where autonomous systems act on behalf of people and organisations. These agents can gather information, make decisions, negotiate terms, and even complete transactions. The implications extend well beyond technology; they touch the very foundations of business models, governance, and leadership. For CIOs and their peers, the rise of “machine customers” and autonomous partners poses new questions: Market impact: How do you compete and create value when some customers and suppliers are machines? Governance: What trust, compliance, and accountability structures are needed when AI acts independently in financial, procurement, or customer-facing processes? Leadership: How should CIOs guide their organisations in redefining roles, responsibilities, and decision-making when agents take over parts of the value chain?Business strategy: What opportunities emerge for new revenue models, platforms, and ecosystems shaped by autonomous interaction? This session shifts the focus from the mechanics of AI agents to the decisions that will shape leadership in the next decade. It is a call for CIOs to prepare for a future where relationships, markets, and strategies are no longer limited to human-to-human interactions, but also extend to human-to-machine and machine-to-machine interactions.

SaaS gave business units freedom: quick onboarding, no infrastructure, and instant results. But over time, that freedom turned into fragmentation. Each team now buys, renews, and configures its own stack. HR has one platform, finance has another, and marketing probably has ten. The invoices keep coming, usage keeps dropping, and no one is sure who’s accountable for what.

Everyone says they’ve gone product-centric. In reality, most organisations live in a hybrid world where projects, products, and platforms overlap. Teams manage releases while still chasing deadlines, and governance still thinks in milestones rather than outcomes. The shift is underway, but the mindset hasn’t caught up.

The game has changed, clearly. Attackers have AI, defenders have AI, and both sides are learning faster than anyone expected, or maybe the attackers are just a bit faster. What used to take hours now happens in seconds, and detection windows close before alerts even appear. It’s adaptation beyond automation, and no one gets to sit still.

How AI-powered content gives Cushman & Wakefield a competitive edge
With Jasper, Cushman & Wakefield saves thousands of hours creating content, allowing their team to focus on strategy and results.
As a commercial real estate powerhouse, Cushman & Wakefield’s global marketing, communications, and research group constantly seeks ways to improve their skill sets and deliver materials in a more efficient way.
Inundated with manual report writing and content creation, the firm’s research organization was overloaded with the task of manually preparing over 1,700 reports per year totaling over 10,000 hours.
In addition to this, the firm’s global marketing and communications teams were continually being challenged with ever-growing content and speed-to-market demands.
To address these challenges, the firm integrated Jasper into its overarching AI+ platform. Designed to deliver digital transformation at scale, the AI+ vision combines partner and proprietary AI products (like Jasper) to increase access and speed-to-market for the firm’s enterprise expertise and insights. This empowers brokers, services, and research professionals to support client decision-making more effectively.
With the Jasper API, the Cushman & Wakefield team was able to fuse their proprietary data into Jasper and create self-service tools and content specific to their unique needs. David Hoebbel, Central Director of Research, commented, "Jasper enables us to customize AI usage to our specific needs, giving our team a competitive advantage in creating standard narrative content across diverse domains. This augments the capabilities of our marketing, communication, and research experts across the globe."
Leveraging Jasper's chat and in-document functions, Cushman & Wakefield found an innovative way to generate diverse content, from press releases and blog posts to social media snippets.
Integrating Jasper into their content creation workflow resulted in transformational outcomes for Cushman & Wakefield:
Cushman & Wakefield's journey with Jasper continues. They plan to optimize their workflow further by focusing on custom templates, brand alignment, and team-specific groups. They understand the importance of continuous education and training to unlock the platform's maximum potential.
As one of the world’s largest real estate services firms, relentlessly dedicated to exceeding client expectations through its 52,000 employees across 400 offices in 60 countries, Cushman & Wakefield considers fully harnessing the power of data and AI as essential to its client experience. With Jasper by its side, Cushman & Wakefield is ready to elevate their marketing efforts, maintain a consistent brand voice, and deliver exceptional communication to clients and employees.
