  • 428 - How Data and Analytics Can Bring AI and Humans Together

    As organizations implement AI in decision making and how work gets done, trustworthy data is essential to adding value every step of the way. Inadequate data governance or unclear AI ambitions leaves enterprises at risk of falling behind.

     

    In this keynote address from Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2024, Distinguished VP Analyst Debra Logan and VP Analyst Ehtisham Zaidi emphasize that the journey toward becoming AI-ready is not solely about technology adoption but also embedding these capabilities into the organizational DNA. Through rigorous execution of data and analytics fundamentals, leaders can unlock unprecedented business value, drive governance maturity and steer their organizations toward shared success.

  • 427 - The Technical Debt Problem: What to Do When You've Fallen Behind

    Organizations are navigating headwinds from all directions, and in this environment, many are falling behind when it comes to keeping up with the latest technology. When the issue is ignored or mismanaged, and the price to modernize systems becomes insurmountable, enterprises risk being crushed under “technical debt.”

    Gartner VP Analyst Roger Williams, who researches the future of infrastructure and operations, stresses the importance of continuous management over attempting to "spend your way out" of technical debt. He explains that organizations cannot eliminate their debt entirely through retroactive modernization projects. Instead they should work to understand and address the impacts of technical debt on stakeholders to effectively manage it as an ongoing concern rather than a one-time project.

  • 426 - Want to Impact Productivity, Sustainability and Value? Start With Supply Chain Efficiency.

    As supply chains return to normal following the COVID shortages of the past few years, chief supply chain officers find themselves at an inflection point: balancing efficiency with output.

     

    Ken Chadwick, VP Analyst on the Gartner supply chain organizational development team and author of this year’s Future of Supply Chain report, explains how supply chain productivity creates value for enterprises as a whole. But to do so, supply chain leaders also must incorporate sustainability, technology, AI and the human role into their strategy.

  • 425 - How Far Will Your Enterprise Go With AI? Use the AI Opportunity Radar to Find Out.

    How far does your enterprise want to go with artificial intelligence? Deciding this is what Gartner calls an “AI ambition” — and that's the starting point for spotting AI opportunities and executing on your plans.

     

    To help navigate the opportunities and limitations, Hung LeHong, a Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst whose work focuses on how C-level executives can anticipate changes to business models and customer trends caused by digital business, outlines why defining your AI ambition is the first step to setting up a roadmap for implementation. He also discusses the differences between “everyday AI” and “game-changing AI,” and how leaders can use the Gartner AI Opportunity Radar to decide which ambitious path is right for their organization.

  • 424 - Executives in a New Role: Here’s How to Get a Fast Start

    One-quarter of executives are in the process of transitioning into a new role at any given time, and 40% say they are likely to move again within two years. If you are a seasoned executive who hasn’t signed up for a fresh opportunity, whether at your current organization or another, you likely will soon. The problem? Executive transitions are very challenging. Today’s economic uncertainty and heightened employee and public expectations make it hard to establish credibility quickly and deliver tangible impact. Plus, the ripple effect of a poor executive transition creates significant risk and expense for both the executive and their organization.

     

    In this episode, Blakeley Hartfelder, Senior Director, Research at Gartner, discusses the reality, challenges and pitfalls of being a new executive, along with tips for establishing a successful transition plan and personal brand. She emphasizes the importance of defining and regularly updating success criteria, adopting a human-centric leadership approach and how the entire C-suite can (and should) support a successful transition.
