Executive leaders cannot predict the future, but they must build a future-fit organization that can withstand disruption.

To do so, they must adopt a deliberate approach to sensing and responding to trends, and understand how trends weave together to impact their strategies.

Executives who cannot adequately spot trends are prone to overlook critical inputs to their strategic assumptions and planning.

This jeopardizes the digital transformation that organizations have invested in and fought so hard to achieve, while also limiting their ability to capitalize on new market opportunities that disruptions may offer.

In this webinar Marty Resnick (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst will enable executive leaders to better spot trends and disruptions so they can shape a more effective enterprise strategy, and help to minimize complexity, embrace uncertainty, and drive confidence in decision-making while exploring bold new opportunities.

Discussion Topics:

• Identify critical areas of disruption in 7 key areas
• Factor key trends into your business models and strategic planning
• Drive confidence in decision-making while exploring bold new opportunities

Testing software is hard—there is never enough time or resources. No sooner than we master a technology, it gets rewritten, rearchitected, or replaced.

Is AI the answer, or yet another complication—another failed promise?

It is time to rethink test automation projects and get real about AI.

In this interactive webinar you will: 

• If AI can test, let it, but . . .
• Do we really need to automate every test case, really?
• What matters more: test coverage or bugs found?
• How should we be measured, compensated, and rewarded?
• How should we hire, organize, and train the next generation of QA? And,
• Why do accountants love spreadsheets?

Especially if your next project will be mobile-first (or maybe even mobile-only), you will need a robust testing foundation to ensure you deliver high-performing apps. Register today and join in the discussion.

As generative AI moves beyond the hype, it is transforming self-service analytics and business intelligence platform adoption.

Data and analytics leaders must use analytics and BI platforms to support the needs of IT, analysts, consumers, and data scientists.

While market leaders integrate low-code data science capabilities, market challengers are pushing end-to-end data and analytics ecosystems.

Visionary vendors have accelerated data preparation and simplified how augmented consumers use analytics to get automated insights.

However, some niche players are shifting the emphasis away from business analysts towards composable data and analytics-as-code for developers of governed reports.

In this webinar David Pidsley (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst explores how market trends and vendor positions in the Gartner 2023 Magic Quadrant for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms can help you determine the right direction for your organization.

Discussion Topics:

• Identify key trends shaping analytics and business intelligence buying
• Find out how to interpret Gartner’s Magic Quadrant and critical capabilities scores in 2023
• Get the latest insights on vendor positioning and the user personas they serve
