This session examines the recently released 2016 CIO Gartner Agenda Survey. Gartner conducts the largest and broadest annual survey of CIOs — over 2,000 organizations worldwide, representing over $300 billion of IT spend. Every year, CIO priorities change, but whether they be for the data center or for other parts of the IT organization, they always dictate the priorities for I&O leaders. Therefore, the top CIO priorities have major implications for the I&O key directives and investment outlook. View more sessions from this event at www.gartnereventsondemand.com/lsc34.

Every business is a digital business. With companies like Uber, Airbnb, Netflix and others disrupting existing industries, IT organizations are increasingly at the forefront of business initiatives. All organizations — large or small, commercial or public sector — will be impacted by the move to digital business. To drive digital business initiatives and support existing back-office functions requires IT to think, organize and strategize radically differently from the past, using bimodal IT. Last year we introduced the concept of bimodal IT. This year we take it one step further, providing examples of how leading-edge organizations are implementing bimodal IT and offering specific recommendations for I&O leaders prepared to dive into the deep end of the pool.

I&O leaders don’t necessarily need to get their organizations out of the “data center business,” but they do need to redefine their roles and their teams around the “enterprise-defined data center.” Services and hardware may soon come from various sources, but the core requirements — managing, governing, integrating, driving efficiencies, ensuring effective and adequately secured deployments, protecting the enterprise while appropriately enabling the enterprise to fail faster, driving new uses, experimenting, doing things we aren’t doing today — will be a critical core competency. We will provide guidance to help I&O leaders with the transition toward a model where the data center business is bigger than the data center alone.

Transitioning to digital business readiness will inevitably demand saying goodbye to many old applications. But few IT organizations have much experience in disposing of large old complex applications, creating the potential for portfolios bulging with zombie applications: dead but not yet buried. We need a new breed of hire in the applications team: someone who can finally bury the zombies! View more sessions from this event at www.gartnereventsondemand.com/apn29.

Traditionally, enterprises and the IT organizations that serve them have taken the machinist’s view of technology, in which humans are just one more input to a system. In the digital humanist view, people are the starting and ending points for technology, not cogs and gears in a complex machine. The increasing scope and impact of technology in the digital era demands that enterprises and IT organizations explicitly incorporate a digital humanistic view into their organization and operations.

"Digital Business does not replace existing business; rather it introduces a new parallel universe. Applications organizations will need to survive and thrive in these two environments. With Gartner’s Bimodal IT, you will adopt two distinct ways to meet enterprise demand: being agile and flexible, and having a step-by-step approach that ensures efficiency and predictability. At the same time, applications and infrastructure will undergo their biggest changes ever, largely driven by the Internet of Things, and making the organization’s ""Applications 2020"" vision a critical success factor. Applications leaders will face unprecedented challenges and opportunities in assisting their organizations in making the move to Digital Business, and have an opportunity to provide key leadership that can extend well beyond the boundaries of traditional IT."

Digital demands are creating islands of responsibility and segmenting related initiatives, rather than encouraging and engaging a team approach and better business outcomes. By mastering a set of specific skills and exercising a few practical levers, CIOs can successfully lead and orchestrate the digital team, achieving dramatic results. This presentation provides a practical leadership approach that successful CIOs have taken to “orchestrate” the digital team during uncertain times rather than attempting to “command and control” it.

Everybody wants velocity — the ability to deliver new capability at a speed that delights the business. Unfortunately, much of the development done at high speed is creating a mountain of technical debt and complexity that will result in higher cost and lower velocity. Velocity should be a by-product of agility — agility is never the by-product of velocity. To view additional videos from Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, visit http://eod.gartner.com/esc27

Today's CIO must have a position on what their enterprise will look like as a digital business — even if that position is a work in progress. A CIO's business peers will demand it. This session helps CIOs create their position. One of the best ways to envision how an enterprise may become a digital business is to observe what others have done — or are trying to do. This case-rich presentation provides a broad and thought-provoking set of examples to help senior executives construct a list of candidate business opportunities for their enterprise.To view additional videos from Gartner Symposium/ITxpo, visit http://eod.gartner.com/esc27

General wisdom has it that IT thinks it is the bee’s knees in managing technology, including IoT and Operational Technology (OT). In reality IT departments have a lot to learn from the other side of the aisle being the engineering groups who deal with the physical plant in many companies. There are three main areas where listening to the engineering and non IT groups may pay dividends: • Security • Maintenance • Reliability.

CIOs work with many senior executives who may be considered "eccentric." CEOs, CFOs and other business leaders often exhibit behaviors that are extreme, unusual, or unpredictable. These behaviors may be the result of a mild, hidden or undiagnosed mental disorder, which occur in one out of four adults. Combine such behaviors with a high IQ, and they often result in the "eccentric executive." This session explores eccentricity and provide practical case examples of how CIOs effectively embrace the benefits and cope with the challenges of eccentricity in the executive suite. This research also explores the reality that many CIOs may themselves be eccentric leaders. To view additional videos from Gartner Symposium IT/xpo, visit http://eod.gartner.com/sym25

The center of this presentation is on the first of the following questions: What will these technologies enable that can't be done today? Why do we believe these changes will occur? What are the obvious and non-obvious knock-on effects? What business processes and functions can be radically transformed using these technologies? And how to prepare for the deluge.To view additional videos from Gartner Symposium IT/xpo, visit http://eod.gartner.com/sym25

For years we have been architecting technology stacks vertical and horizontal stacks. In the digital business era, we should not be thinking about “stacks” at all. We should be thinking about mesh or ecosystems, with organizations bringing services, from people, business, things and technology from any channel and used anywhere. Why does this matter? Because it changes how you think about developing and evolving technology, your partners. It opens the world of options when you are creating solutions and solving problems in your organization.
