Katie, let me bring you in here and ask you, what's sort of driving organizations to look at strategic partnerships and look outside their own organizations as a growth driver?

I mean, it's the speed.

It's the responsiveness, right? So ecosystem partnerships are really compressing the time to market.

And sometimes by 60%, 70%, they're not people are not organizations are not just building from scratch they're essentially assembling solutions together and the complexity currently for what is needed has really outrun one out ran one single vendor so there's no one partner that can solve the full stack any longer some believe they can but i think you're going to find point solutions and opportunities to really look at what's happening from a speech market and happening simultaneously and bringing those best solutions together.

So organizations that are really realizing that and not trying to build everything internally are dependent on one vendor.

So they're not playing catch up.

They're able to take the best of breed and the specialists that are out there, bring them together so that they can be responsive and move at a much bigger pace.

So Katie, I wanted to bring you in here and ask you what a successful sort of AI integration actually looks like inside an organization.

So how should business leaders in the C-suite be thinking about the balance between accelerating AI adoption and protecting enterprise value?

I mean, I think the, the framing here matters a lot.

It isn't really move fast on AI or stay secure.

The data shows us that they aren't in conflict.

Co-companies really with mature AI governance are four times more likely to report revenue growth.

Governance isn't a break.

It's really more about giving you permission to accelerate.

So Katie, let me ask you, how should executives rethink growth strategy in a more volatile technology intensive and partnership driven business environment?
