Shape the Future of Enterprise Technology Strategy

Quantum computing is no longer a distant scientific curiosity—it’s rapidly approaching commercial reality. From breaking current encryption methods to solving optimization problems that could transform entire industries, quantum computing represents both unprecedented opportunity and significant risk for enterprise organizations.

But how ready are we, really?

As a technology leader, you’re already grappling with critical questions: When will quantum computing impact your industry? How should you prepare your organization? What investments make sense today? Which security risks demand immediate attention?

Join Your Peers in Defining the Quantum Landscape

This comprehensive community survey is designed exclusively for CIOs, CTOs, and CISOs who are navigating the complex quantum computing landscape. Your insights will help create the first definitive picture of how technology leaders across industries are preparing for the quantum era.

Industry-Led Research: Created by technology leaders, for technology leaders—not vendor marketing or academic theory, but real-world strategic planning insights.

Comprehensive Scope: Beyond just awareness, we’re examining investment strategies, security preparations, talent planning, and competitive positioning across all major industry sectors.

Actionable Intelligence: Results will provide benchmarking data you can use to validate your own quantum strategy and identify best practices from peer organizations.

Community Impact: Your participation helps establish industry standards and informs the broader technology ecosystem about enterprise quantum readiness.

Key Areas We’re Exploring in this two part survey

Part 1

  • Strategic Timeline: When do technology leaders expect quantum computing to significantly impact their industries?
  • Investment Patterns: How much are organizations investing, and where are they focusing resources?
  • Security Preparedness: How are CISOs approaching the post-quantum cryptography transition?

Part 2

  • Talent Strategies: How are organizations building quantum computing expertise?
  • Implementation Challenges: What barriers are preventing quantum adoption, and how can the industry address them?

Your Voice Matters

Whether you’re a quantum computing pioneer, cautious observer, or somewhere in between, your perspective is crucial. The quantum revolution will affect every organization—the question is whether we’ll be prepared.
