The Kyndryl Institute Journal Issue 1 | Page 5

Foreword

Organizations everywhere face profound shifts in technology, talent, risk and trust. Global leaders need actionable insights that move beyond trend watching and toward transformation.
They crave new perspectives to help navigate present and future challenges in pursuit of agility, innovation and growth.

Bold ideas to power progress

Against this backdrop, we founded The Kyndryl Institute to offer something rare: rigorously informed, deeply human and refreshingly actionable perspectives.
This inaugural edition of The Kyndryl Institute Journal brings together original thinking, impactful insights, frameworks, and thought leadership from external experts across sectors and disciplines. From AI readiness and IT modernization to resilience, security, and the evolving social contract of technology, each article is grounded in what matters most: helping enterprises understand change, and act on it.
As you turn the pages of this first issue, we hope it sparks challenging conversations and invites leaders to rethink what is possible. Because the future of business will not be defined by those who merely adapt— but by those who reshape, reimagine and boldly lead.
