    The New Playbook for Technology Providers

    The New Playbook for Technology Providers

    For technology providers, product strategy continually evolves to account for:
     
    Increased reliance of people and enterprises on technology Emergence of new technologies  Impact of macro forces, such as growing demands for sustainability    
    In this episode, Ephraim Baron, a Senior Director within the Gartner for General Managers team, discusses how the democratization of technology expands digital responsibility and capabilities beyond IT, and moves actual technology purchasing decisions away from IT. He also addresses how both B2B and B2C companies must appeal to clients who interact with technology in their daily lives — and what technology providers can do to sell and deliver in exactly the manner their clients expect.

    What’s Quiet Hiring Anyway? All Your Questions Answered

    What’s Quiet Hiring Anyway? All Your Questions Answered

    Last year’s dominant work trend was quiet quitting — the idea that workers are over going above and beyond their required duties. But with the changing economic climate and many organizations looking to avoid adding headcount while increasing capabilities, 2023 has seen the rise of quiet hiring. 
     
    So what is quiet hiring exactly, and is it a new idea at all? Here to answer these questions and more is Emily Rose McRae, a Senior Director of Research in our HR practice. In this session, which originally aired on Gartner’s LinkedIn channel, Emily explains how we’ve seen quiet hiring manifest before, how it can benefit organizations and how, contrary to popular belief, it can be a win for employees, too.

    How High-Performing Supply Chains Stand Out

    How High-Performing Supply Chains Stand Out

    What do gold standard supply chain organizations do differently? For starters, the chief supply chain officer (CSCO) is viewed as a strategic business partner, which is only the case at 47% of organizations. A resilient and agile supply chain requires strong alignment between the CSCO and their C-suite peers. But that’s not all.
     
    In this episode, Jennifer Loveland, a Senior Director Analyst within the supply chain team at Gartner, discusses the four critical reinventions high-performing supply chain organizations are implementing to combat disruption in the short term and how two trends in particular have serious potential to impact supply chain revenue in the long term.

While modern businesses need to align strategy, technology and workforce management, the key to fortifying yourself against these obstacles may lie in IT infrastructure and operations.

In this interview, Douglas explains that I&O not only affects people, processes and technology but also how leaders can align all three to create an innovative ecosystem to help their organizations withstand emerging headwinds.

    The Secrets to Implementing a Successful Hybrid Work Model

    The Secrets to Implementing a Successful Hybrid Work Model

    As economic conditions sour, leaders may be tempted to take back more control over work — by, for example, mandating a rigid return to the office. Our data shows that would be a big mistake. 
     
    In this episode, Caitlin Duffy, Director of Research for Gartner’s HR practice, offers guidance on exactly which hybrid work model is most successful — based on Gartner’s survey of 400+ employees and leaders of organizations around the world who have worked consistently under some kind of hybrid-work model since the beginning of the pandemic.
     
    She discusses how to:
    Understand the current state of hybrid work Create a “human-centric” work model Prioritize employee well-being  Rethink your assumptions about the long-term sustainability of hybrid work

Please go back to shorter format

I really enjoyed the shorter format where you treated a specific topic after which one could reflect on the ideas discussed, formulate next steps and dig deeper. But the larger format is really distracting as you jump from topic to topic. It also is contrary to the established research on learning abilities and information absorption (smaller chunks are better.)
In any case, this podcast really provides new insights and different perspectives to issues of the day while guiding to the future. Thanks for that.
