Wie treffen Unternehmen die richtigen Entscheidungen in einer Welt voller technologischer Möglichkeiten, wachsender Risiken und steigender Komplexität? Genau dieser Frage widmete sich der Digital Leader Circle 2026 von Axians. Unter dem Motto "The Decision Gap" kamen CIOs, CDOs, IT-Leiter und weitere Digital Leaders in Zürich zusammen, um Erfahrungen auszutauschen, voneinander zu lernen und neue Perspektiven für die digitale Zukunft zu gewinnen.
On 29 October 2026, Axians welcomed CIOs, CDOs, IT leaders and other digital decision-makers to The Circle at Zurich Airport for this year’s Digital Leader Circle. The event focused on one of the key challenges of digital transformation: how organisations can bridge the gap between insight and action. Under the theme “The Decision Gap,” discussions centred on real-world experiences, strategic decision-making and meaningful peer exchange.
The agenda featured practical insights, honest perspectives and open conversations among business and technology leaders. During the 360° Learn Sessions, Mobimo shared lessons from its own transformation journey, using real-life examples to demonstrate how organisations can successfully move from recognising opportunities and challenges to making informed decisions and driving change.
The interactive breakout sessions gave participants the opportunity to tackle real business challenges together. Whether discussing artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, productivity or sustainable growth, the focus remained on practical use cases, the exchange of best practices and the development of fresh perspectives that leaders can apply in their own organisations.
A particular highlight of the event was the keynote delivered by chess grandmaster Stefan Kindermann. Drawing fascinating parallels between elite chess and business leadership, he demonstrated how strong decisions can be made even in situations of uncertainty and limited information.
Beyond the thought-provoking content, one aspect stood out above all: the community. Throughout the event and during the subsequent flying dinner, participants engaged in meaningful conversations, built new connections and strengthened existing relationships. The high level of engagement and the open, collaborative atmosphere turned the Digital Leader Circle into a platform where networking and shared learning were actively embraced.
To keep these conversations going beyond the event itself, we launched our LinkedIn community. It provides Digital Leaders with a space to continue discussions, exchange experiences and insights, and expand their professional networks in a meaningful and lasting way.
The success of this first edition clearly demonstrated that the need for practical exchange and meaningful dialogue among digital leaders is stronger than ever. We are already looking forward to the next Digital Leader Circle events and to providing an ongoing platform for inspiration, knowledge sharing and valuable connections.
