Jerry Luftman, Ph.D. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/luftman/) is Founder & Managing Director of the Global Institute for IT Management. After 22 years at IBM—culminating as CIO—he built one of the world’s largest Information Systems programs at Stevens Institute of Technology, then launched GIIM to close the leadership gap between fast-moving tech and slower-moving organizations. His Strategic Alignment Maturity Model is used by one-third of Global 1000 firms, and his annual IT-trends study is an industry benchmark.

In this episode, Chris and Jerry cover:

1. Why AI & blockchain projects stall—and the fixes that work

2. The four leadership skills every technologist needs in 2025

3. Co-branding executive programs with universities and enterprises

4. Using the Strategic Alignment Maturity Model to measure digital readiness
