"The analyst's research suggests that enterprises will push back a quarter of their AI spending into 2027 due to a failure of many projects to deliver value. It predicted that in 2026, CEOs will pull more chief financial officers (CFOs) into AI deals. Forrester predicted that fragmentation among AI providers will cause the majority of enterprises to build composable agent architectures, which will be needed to manage and orchestrate fractured AI agent deployments and enable complex multi-agent use cases."
"With the increase in AI project failures, Forrester expects a quarter of CIOs will be asked to bail out business-led AI failures in their organisation. In a blog post, Forrester vice-president and research director Mark Moccia predicted that CEOs will turn to their technology chiefs to fix failed AI projects. Forrester also reported that 39% of AI decision-makers say their CIO or chief technology officer leads AI technology strategy, and 21% lead AI business strategy."
Enterprises will defer about a quarter of planned AI spending into 2027 as many AI projects fail to deliver measurable value. CEOs are expected to involve CFOs more directly in AI deals during 2026. Fragmentation among AI providers will drive most organisations to adopt composable agent architectures to manage fractured agent deployments and support complex multi-agent use cases. Organisations will redistribute talent as AI agents take over routine tasks and will invest in AI governance and AI fluency training. A significant share of CIOs will be asked to rescue business-led AI failures while tech leaders must establish governance, curate data and knowledge assets, design user experiences, and manage output quality.
