# The board's role in bolstering tech resilience: 4 takeaways from our research on leadership

Deloitte (Feb 18, 2026) "The board's role in bolstering tech resilience: 4 takeaways from our research on leadership" draws on a Deloitte Global survey of 739 board and C-suite leaders from 59 countries (fielded June 2025) and 15 in-depth interviews. Key data: 73% of boards say they are collaborating more with the C-suite on strategy development and scenario planning, with nearly three-quarters spending more time on those priorities in 2025; while 82% of respondents have the financial resources they need, only 63% say the same for technology resources and 64% for human capital — a near-20-percentage-point gap; and two of the top five longer-term priorities for 2026 and beyond are tech-related, ranking 10 ppt higher than human capital. Direct read-out for SEA mid-market boards prioritising tech versus people investment.
