AI at scale is not just a technology challenge. It is an execution challenge. CIO Dive outlines six priorities for tech leaders in the second half of 2025, from strengthening data governance to preparing for agentic AI. The common thread: ✅ Simplify fragmented data structures ✅ Design with measurable ROI in mind ✅ Move pilots to enterprise scale with clear graduation criteria ✅ Embed governance and trust at every stage We see the same patterns in the field. AI initiatives stall when they lack unified data, measurable outcomes, or a clear path from pilot to production. When those foundations are in place, the results are not only scalable; they are sustainable. That is why our work with enterprise IT and operations leaders focuses on building the governance, data readiness, and delivery pathways needed to move from AI potential to AI value.

IT unemployment just hit 4.3%, the highest since 2021. But the story isn’t layoffs. It’s hesitation. Hiring is slowing, not because demand is gone, but because leaders are recalibrating. Budgets are tighter. Risk tolerance is lower. Every new hire has to land right. That’s where Paladin comes in. When headcount is frozen but delivery still matters, we step in with: ✅ Consultants who protect momentum ✅ Enterprise-fluent talent that fits fast ✅ A process built for continuity, not churn We understand the cost of hesitation and the bigger cost of hiring missteps.
