Signal Executives split evenly on whether opportunity windows are shortening

Summary

One item in IBM's survey asked executives whether their organisation now has less time than in 2024 to spot and seize emerging market opportunities. The answers split almost down the middle, at 51% and 49%. The result sits beside findings that most executives expect volatility to create opportunities and that agentic AI is helping them reallocate resources. IBM's surrounding argument is that capturing openings requires speed, flexible infrastructure and data that reaches the right people and agents in time. The even split suggests that executives do not share a common view on whether the window for action is actually narrowing.
