Miro Takes Aim at the Gap Between AI Potential and Organizational Reality19.5.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
Miro®, the AI Innovation Workspace for teams, has announced new innovations across its AI platform, reinforcing its position as the collaboration layer where people, context, and agents from every function converge to solve hard problems, make better decisions, and build the right thing faster. Major upgrades to Miro’s agentic AI tools — including Sidekicks and Flows — alongside new Connectors, help customers close the gap between individual AI productivity and organization-wide transformation. AI is reshaping the pace of work, but often teams are not realising the benefits. In many organizations, a gap has emerged between what individuals can now do and what companies can harness. The reason? Collaboration has fractured. Teams have moved from one mode of working to three — human to human, human to agent, and agent to agent — but these are running in silos, invisible to each other. Within those silos, AI amplifies misalignment rather than correcting it, and the gaps only show up when t

Nine in 10 Firms Fear In-House Systems Can’t Keep Pace with Executive Pay Demands19.5.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release
Managing executive compensation is a growing challenge for financial services firms, with nearly nine in 10 (89%) saying their in-house technology can’t keep pace with demand. New research by CSC, the leading provider of business administration and compliance solutions, shows that rising complexity, regulatory pressure, and expanding global participation place increasing strain on internal systems and teams.1 CSC surveyed 300 senior HR, rewards, and compensation leaders across Europe, Asia Pacific, and North America working in private markets, asset management, insurance, and investment banking. The report, The Future of Reward in Financial Services: Executive Compensation in 2026, explores their responses and examines how firms adapt to increasing complexity in long-term incentive (LTI) schemes. The research revealed that more than four in five (86%) respondents find the administration of compensation schemes is now complex, reflecting the rapid evolution and expansion of LTI structur
