Quadbridge launches quarterly executive brief series for IT leaders

Quadbridge on June 18, 2026 launched a quarterly Executive Brief Series in Montreal to help North American technology leaders navigate AI adoption, cybersecurity, modernization and strategy. The first edition is available now and focuses on leadership, talent and culture for AI at scale. Why it matters: - Quadbridge is targeting a core problem for IT leaders: the move from managing technology to leading business transformation. - The series is meant to give mid-market technology leaders practical context on AI adoption, cybersecurity, governance, modernization, workforce change and IT strategy. - Quadbridge’s research suggests leaders are looking for more than technical advice and want peer learning, executive development and actionable guidance. What happened: - Quadbridge launched the Executive Brief Series on June 18, 2026. - The quarterly publication is designed to share insights from North American IT leaders and help technology decision-makers navigate current challenges. - The announcement came from Montreal, Quebec. - The first edition, Leadership, Talent & Culture Insights for AI at Scale, is available now. - The inaugural brief includes perspectives from Eric Sain, executive director and faculty member of the McGill Executive Institute. - A download link for the inaugural Executive Brief was referenced in the source text. The details: - Each edition of the series will focus on a critical topic affecting the mid-market. - Planned topics include AI adoption, cybersecurity, data and governance, technology modernization, workforce transformation and IT strategy. - Quadbridge said its executive programs and annual research found IT leaders use an average of more than five sources for industry knowledge and professional development. - Peer communities, industry events, vendor briefings and research rank among the most valued sources. - Research from Quadbridge’s QBITS technology leadership conference found development gaps in AI and emerging technologies at 45%, leadership and executive readiness at 42%, and strategic thinking and business alignment at 37%. - The first brief examines workforce trust, leadership confidence, organizational readiness, human judgment and the challenge of scaling AI when established playbooks are still developing. - The Executive Brief Series draws on Quadbridge’s Customer Advisory Board, a peer group of North American senior technology leaders. - External subject matter experts and thought leaders add additional context to each edition. Between the lines: - The launch signals a push to turn executive insight into a recurring content product that also reinforces Quadbridge’s role in the IT leadership ecosystem. - The research points to a widening gap between technical capability and the leadership skills needed to guide AI and organizational change. - Steve Leslie, Quadbridge’s CEO, said the role of the IT leader is being redefined in real time and increasingly looks like a business transformation function. - Melanie Magier, Quadbridge’s marketing manager, said the broader goal is to help leaders learn from one another and make a strategic impact. What’s next: - Quadbridge will publish the Executive Brief Series quarterly. - Future editions will continue exploring the priorities, opportunities and concerns surfaced through its advisory board and expert conversations. - Quadbridge said the series is part of a broader commitment that also includes QBITS, Customer Advisory Board peer groups, research programs and thought leadership. - Quadbridge, founded in 2007, says it helps mid-market organizations move from AI experimentation to AI at scale through its Technology Modernization and AI & Automation practices. The bottom line: - Quadbridge is betting that IT leaders want more than product guidance; they want a recurring forum for executive insight, peer learning and practical direction as AI changes the job.
