The Ascendion CIO Summit 2026 brought together technology and transformation leaders from UnionDigital Bank, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI), Sun Life Philippines, Asian Development Bank (ADB), Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines, Metrobank, and across the Philippine business landscape — and the conversations that filled the day were the kind that don’t stay in the room.
Â
On stage and on the floor, three themes kept surfacing:
- AI success comes from ex*****on, not experimentation. The organizations pulling ahead have done the harder work of rebuilding operating models, not just running pilots.
- Trust is now the primary constraint. Governance, accountability, and reliability aren’t compliance requirements, they’re the foundation every scalable AI system has to be built on.
- GCCs are evolving. The future capability center won’t be measured by what it saves. It will be measured by what it creates.
Â
The conversations may have wrapped, but the work they pointed to is just getting started.
