According to research from Asana’s Work Innovation Lab State of the IT Leader Report, as many as 82% of IT leaders regularly advise on their organization’s AI strategy, and 90% say that investing in AI technology will be critical to navigating future business challenges. Asana’s new human-centered AI capabilities are designed to help CIOs and IT leaders with their most pressing AI challenges, from building the foundation to use generative AI effectively, to ensuring the right safeguards and best practices, as well as understanding how to utilize cross-functional data to drive decisions, outcomes, and strategic prioritization.
“Today’s IT leaders are no longer back office service providers but strategic advisors moving enterprises forward. More than ever, IT executives are accountable for operationalizing company objectives, ensuring security, creating go-to-market strategies, and understanding how to apply AI to increase productivity, collaboration, and business outcomes,” says Praniti Lakhwara, Zscaler CIO. “It’s imperative to have the right tools to work smarter, while delivering results.

“CIOs around the globe are trying to understand how to best use AI to increase productivity, make cross-functional collaboration more efficient, and drive business outcomes,” says Wayne Kurtzman, IDC Research Vice President, Collaboration and Communities. “Meanwhile, they are faced with a mountain of unstructured, disconnected data and security concerns. With this announcement, Asana looks to help CIOs and IT leaders by centralizing work data in a structured platform that connects teams, projects, and company goals. This makes it easier for companies to measure business outcomes and find new efficiencies.”
