AI4IT Strategy 2026

Building an AI-Enabled Future for Enterprise IT

Ted Tschopp — The Tschopp Collective

Vision (Swiss Layout)

We are transforming IT into an intelligent, adaptive system driven by AI — a framework where automation, reasoning, and innovation converge.

Key Principles:

  • Human-centered AI integration
  • Transparent and governed systems
  • Continuous modernization and simplification
