Whether you have been promoted, transitioned from another role or arrived from a different enterprise, chief data and analytics officers (CDAOs) require a solid plan for their first 100 days to set a foundation for their success.

The 2023 Gartner Chief Data and Analytics Officer Agenda Survey shows that CDAOs who display executive behaviors and leadership traits are more successful than those who behave like a team manager or project leader. This makes your approach during the first 100 days critical to establishing the right tone.

This webinar will provide a 100-day action plan that breaks down the CDAO and data and analytics leader’s first 100 days into six major categories, with recommended activities to assess, plan, act and measure progress initiatives.

On this webinar Jorgen Heizenberg (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst & KI Leader  will help you get started in navigating this pivotal phase while accelerating business outcomes and ensuring success in your new role. In addition, we will take questions from you and your peers to address the issues that will most impact your new leadership role.

Discussion Topics:

• Set up objectives, representative actions and create a personalized plan
• Derive and communicate the D&A value proposition
• Learn the drivers for CDAO effectiveness

In this session, Frances Karamouzis (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP  Distinguished Analyst takes you through different categories of generative AI, the cost side of the equation, the value measurements, and real-life examples of organizations that have taken action and funded initiative, so your organization can determine your best path forward.

Generative AI (GenAI) marks the start of the next industrial revolution, but AI made little impact on near-term IT spending. For a technology that added new heights to the peak of inflated expectations, how can total cumulative spending on GenAI from now until 2027 be merely $3 trillion?

GenAI blindsided organizations and boards, and CEOs are being cautious with their spending. Gartner expects 2024 to be the year of planning for GenAI, although IT spending will be driven by more traditional forces, such as profitability, labor, and a wave of change fatigue.

In this IT webinar John-David Lovelock, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst & Chief Forecaster; breaks down the final IT spending data from 2023 and what the numbers say about what could lie ahead in 2024.

Technology and service providers will get a better sense of where enterprises could focus their IT spend in the new year, factoring in technology sectors, industries and regions.

Discussion Topics:

• Analyze the final IT spend numbers from 2023
• Explore Gartner IT spending forecasts for 2024 and beyond
• Separate the hype from the spending on AI and GenAI
