According to research from Asana’s Work Innovation Lab State of
the IT Leader Report, as many as 82% of IT leaders regularly advise
on their organization’s AI strategy, and 90% say that investing in
AI technology will be critical to navigating future business
challenges. Asana’s new human-centered AI capabilities are designed
to help CIOs and IT leaders with their most pressing AI challenges,
from building the foundation to use generative AI effectively, to
ensuring the right safeguards and best practices, as well as
understanding how to utilize cross-functional data to drive
decisions, outcomes, and strategic prioritization.
"Today’s IT leaders are no longer back office service providers
but strategic advisors moving enterprises forward. More than ever,
IT executives are accountable for operationalizing company
objectives, ensuring security, creating go-to-market strategies,
and understanding how to apply AI to increase productivity,
collaboration, and business outcomes," says Praniti Lakhwara,
Zscaler CIO. "It’s imperative to have the right tools to work
smarter, while delivering results. With Asana, we’re able to
centralize our work data in order to surface timely business
insights, inform decision-making, and work toward program goals in
one safe, secure platform."
“CIOs around the globe are trying to understand how to best use
AI to increase productivity, make cross-functional collaboration
more efficient, and drive business outcomes,” says Wayne Kurtzman,
IDC Research Vice President, Collaboration and Communities.
“Meanwhile, they are faced with a mountain of unstructured,
disconnected data and security concerns. With this announcement,
Asana looks to help CIOs and IT leaders by centralizing work data
in a structured platform that connects teams, projects, and company
goals. This makes it easier for companies to measure business
outcomes and find new efficiencies."
Asana is committed to a human-centered approach to AI, inclusive
of security and privacy, which includes holding AI partners to high
standards of not training on or retaining customer data. Learn more
