January 27, 2026: Executives say AI is making work more efficient. Employees say it's barely saving time. Gartner warns that overreliance on AI will actually lead to worse decisions. And one of the world's leading AI CEOs says the real risks are arriving faster than society is prepared for. In today's episode of Future Ready Today, I break down four stories that, together, reveal what's really happening at work in the age of AI: A 5,000-year historical lens from Forbes Tech Council on how every major technology shift redefines what humans are valuable for — and why AI is no different, just faster. A new warning from Gartner that by 2030, 30% of organizations will see worse decision-making because employees are relying on AI before developing judgment. Reporting from the Wall Street Journal showing a growing gap between executives who believe AI is boosting productivity and employees who experience more rework, confusion, and an "AI tax" on their time. A sobering essay from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, who argues that AI is entering its "adolescent" phase — powerful, fast-moving, and increasingly difficult to govern.

Our guest on this week's episode is Ronak Amin - global product marketing lead for fleet, mobility, and transport solutions at Here Technologies. Bridges and trucks are two elements that do not mix well. Many would be surprised to learn that an over-the-road truck strikes a bridge or an underpass every 36 minutes. Of course these accidents risk lives besides disrupting traffic flow. What can be done to prevent bridge strikes? Our guest offers some insights.One major container ship line recently decided to resume sailings in the Red Sea but has now backed out of those plans and will instead continue sailing around Africa rather than going through the Suez Canal. In recent years the canal has been nearly empty of commercial traffic, due to violence and missiles from forces in Yemen, who were targeting Israeli and other western hemisphere ships due to the bloodshed in Israel's war with Hamas. What does this change mean for shippers looking for some certainty in an ever-changing environment?We've talked a lot about advances in humanoid robots recently, and there was more news this week. New Gartner research released on Tuesday found that the hype around humanoids is outpacing the technology's readiness for large-scale deployment in logistics—and that means that we will probably see a lot of pilot projects over the next few years, but it's going to be a while before these human-looking robots become commonplace on the warehouse floor.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals.

Automation is showing up everywhere in supply chain planning, but the winners aren't the ones automating the most. They're the ones choosing the right decisions to automate, bringing people along early, and using AI to build speed and confidence in planning.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton and special guest host Karin Bursa, CEO of NIRAKIO, welcome Noha Samara, Senior Director, Global Supply Chain at Gartner, to share key takeaways from the Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit in Denver.Noha unpacks why AI is shifting from “side experiment” to a core part of planning's operating model, and why the most successful organizations define a clear human-machine strategy instead of trying to “spread AI like peanut butter.” The conversation spotlights the “people side” of transformation: change management, capability-building, and involving planners early so AI is implemented with teams, not to them.The group also dives into end-to-end data and scenario-driven range planning, including how top performers extend those range discussions with suppliers, customers, and trading partners. They close by emphasizing agility through targeted automation, clarity on humans “in/on/off the loop,” and why leaders can't afford to sit on the sidelines as the pace of disruption and innovation accelerates.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(01:35) Key takeaways from the Gartner Supply Chain Planning Summit(07:24) Discussion on AI and human-machine strategy(08:59) Change management in transformation(10:25) Continuous transformation(13:34) Reflections from top supply chain organizations(18:32) Powering agility with automation(21:08) Defining the role of AI(27:21) Meaningful automation in business(29:17) Leadership and change management(36:31) Touchless manufacturing and practical AI applications(41:21) Reimagining supply chain resilienceAdditional Links & Resources:Connect with Noha Samara: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noha-samara-4864863/Learn more about Gartner: https://www.gartner.com/enConnect with Karin Bursa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karinbursa/Learn more about NIRAKIO: https://www.linkedin.com/company/nirakio/Connect with Scott Luton:

PC spending has seen a significant rebound, with Gartner reporting a 9.3% rise in worldwide PC shipments in late 2025, primarily driven by corporate IT upgrades to meet Windows 11 requirements. This recovery, which saw 10.1% growth in Q4 2025 according to Omnia data, highlights a shift from consumer-led demand to necessity-driven upgrades. Despite supply chain challenges in memory and storage, leading to cost increases, 57% of B2B partners anticipate growth in their PC business, underscoring a sustained demand for hardware management and support among MSPs.Concurrently, worldwide spending on artificial intelligence is projected to reach approximately $2.5 trillion by 2026, a 44% increase from the previous year, according to Gartner. This surge is fueled by substantial investments in AI infrastructure, which is expected to account for $1.37 trillion of the total spending. John David Lovelock of Gartner emphasizes that AI adoption success hinges not only on financial investment but also on organizational maturity and self-awareness, suggesting that the value derived from this investment is not yet as certain as the spending itself. For MSPs, this indicates a growing need to navigate the complexities of AI infrastructure deployment and demonstrate tangible value to clients.In the realm of managed services, recent strategic moves by several companies signal an evolving MSP landscape. Corsica Technologies announced 105% year-over-year growth in managed services bookings for 2025 and expanded its portfolio through acquisition, aiming for consolidation and integrated offerings. Net at Work nearly doubled its managed services division size by acquiring a regional competitor, prioritizing scale. Rhubarb IT, spun out from Mac Center, is focusing on a niche Apple-focused IT managed services model, aiming for differentiation. These expansions highlight varying strategies—consolidation, scale, and specialization—that MSPs must consider when evaluating market opportunities and competitive positioning.The implications for MSPs are multi-faceted. The PC market's recovery emphasizes the continued importance of hardware lifecycle management and support services. The explosive growth in AI spending necessitates careful evaluation of infrastructure versus value, with potential risks for organizations rushing capacity purchases without clear demand justification. Furthermore, the diverse expansion strategies among MSPs underscore the need for clear operational, contractual, and financial planning to manage integration, delivery consistency, and customer expectations. The appointment of Rob Rae as a strategic advisor to Guards highlights the critical need for transparency in vendor relationships, particularly concerning incentives, as undisclosed financial arrangements can introduce bias and risk for MSPs who rely on objective evaluation of technologies and partners. Four things to know today 00:00 PC Spending Reflects Operational Necessity While AI Spending Bets on Unproven Demand03:57 OpenAI Promises to Offset Energy and Water Impact as AI Infrastructure Outpaces Regulation05:45 MSP Growth Paths Diverge as Corsica, Net at Work, and Rhubarb IT Make Different Strategic Bets09:09 Guardz's Rob Rae Advisory Appointment Raises Transparency and Governance Questions for MSPs This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship

What happens when cyber risk leaders stop speaking in acronyms and start telling stories? In this episode, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Jeffrey Wheatman, SVP of Cyber Risk Strategy at Black Kite and longtime cybersecurity evangelist, to talk about how to lead with problems, not products. From decades advising CISOs at Gartner to launching the panel show Third Party, Jeff shares what he's learned about building trust, breaking down "terminal uniqueness," and why vendors need to collaborate on educating the market instead of competing. If you care about cutting through noise in a saturated market, this conversation is packed with insights you can actually use. Jason and Jeff dive into why so many cybersecurity vendors fall into the trap of "terminal uniqueness" believing they're so different that they can't learn from anyone else. Jeff explains why this mindset kills effective marketing and how leading with the problem, not your product features, is the only way to break through. They explore why CISOs won't talk to sales teams (hint: it's not personal, it's about trust) and why the cybersecurity industry desperately needs more collaboration. Jeff makes a compelling case that we're at war with ransomware networks, yet vendors refuse to talk to each other about how to educate buyers. The conversation shifts to buyer awareness stages and where most marketing completely misses the mark. Jeff shares his framework for thinking about audiences beyond just problem-aware buyers, and why "hallway therapy" at conferences builds more trust than any keynote ever will. Jason asks Jeff how he'd spend $100K to build an audience (not a campaign), and Jeff's answer revolves around creating spaces for real conversation, which is exactly what led him to launch Third Party, a panel show tackling cybersecurity topics with both strategic and tactical depth. They wrap with Jeff's shoutouts to creators doing cyber content right and key takeaways for B2B marketers trying to build trust in technical markets. Whether you're a security vendor struggling to differentiate, a CISO trying to communicate risk to the board, or a B2B marketer in any technical space, Jeff's insights on problem-first storytelling and building genuine community will transform how you think about reaching your audience.

Although AI is everywhere, most initiatives aren't moving the needle on growth or cost. That's why HR leaders have a new mandate — stop focusing only on the workforce and start redesigning the work itself. In a preview of their Opening Keynote from Gartner HR Symposium/Xpo, Gartner experts Harsh Kundulli and Katie Sutherland reveal how HR can lead the way in three major shifts in work: augment to make existing work better; reengineer to redesign workflows and functions; and invent to create new AI-based ways of working.   Discover how to: Rethink work to drive growth and cost optimization Understand the three types of work change: augment, reengineer, invent Turn employees into AI value creators with guided adoption Build strong CHRO–CIO partnerships to unlock AI's potential Equip leaders to lead through AI transformation with practical tools   Dig deeper: Register for the Future of Work Trends live webinar Join us at a Gartner HR Conference near you Download the full 9 Future of Work Trends for 2026 See how Gartner is the world authority on AI

Dr. John Gartner joins Joanna Coles to explain why Donald Trump's worsening paranoia, erratic behavior, and visible health problems point to a dangerous mix of malignant narcissism and possible frontotemporal dementia. Drawing on clinical practice and the shift toward observable diagnostic criteria, Gartner argues that Trump's public performances reveal more than enough: the “25th time” fixation, the aspirin theories, the right-side weakness, and the drifting, rambling speeches. The conversation ends with a stark question: What happens when a country is governed by a man whose greatest vulnerability is his own deteriorating mind? Hosted on Acast.

Disruptions in global supply chains, from trade uncertainties to the rapid integration of AI, are challenging companies to rethink their strategies. At the same time, businesses must address talent shortages, enhance workforce capabilities, and navigate an ever-evolving technological landscape. The result is a supply chain ecosystem at a pivotal moment, requiring leaders to blend policy, talent, and technology to stay competitive.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott Luton is joined by Mike Griswold, Vice President Analyst at Gartner, to reflect on the state of supply chain in 2025 and beyond. Together, they explore the significant challenges and opportunities in supply chain planning, including AI adoption, talent strategy, and the impact of tariffs.Scott and Mike discuss how AI is moving from pilot to scale, helping businesses unlock significant value across sourcing and logistics. They highlight the importance of integrating AI with talent strategies to empower workers rather than replace them. The conversation also delves into the evolving role of trade policy and how companies must build it into their long-term strategy.

For the first episode in our 2025 Holiday Series we are looking back at our conversation with Augie Ray, Senior Research Analyst and Executive Advisor of Customer Experience at Gartner, about how CX is the most important aspect of marketing and how to focus on customers' unmet needs.

Henry Gartner Public Program Coordinator at Wild Earth, grew up in rural Greenwich, NY, where his love for the outdoors began.   After earning a mathematics degree from SUNY New Paltz, Henry made the Hudson Valley his home. Today, you'll find him trad climbing and mountain biking in the Gunks year-round, and when winter hits, he's carving telemark turns on the slopes.

A modern sales enablement strategy isn't about more activity - it's about better preparation. In this episode of B2B Sales Trends, we explore why preparation has become the true differentiator in B2B selling and enterprise sales strategy. In this conversation, host Harry Kendlbacher sits down with Gena Dakos, a seasoned sales enablement leader, to unpack how high-quality outreach, customer empathy, and thoughtful preparation help sellers stand out in a noisy, AI-driven market. From executive discovery to enterprise-scale deals, this episode reframes enablement as confidence, clarity, and credibility - not just training.

Psychologist Dr. John Gartner joins Joanna Coles to dissect Donald Trump's latest White House speech and explain why its manic pace, rigid teleprompter discipline, and sheer velocity alarm mental health professionals. Drawing on decades of clinical experience, Gartner argues that Trump's hypomania, malignant narcissism, and advancing dementia are no longer abstract theories but visible patterns—accelerating, measurable, and increasingly unmanaged. They examine why repeated cognitive tests suggest monitoring decline rather than routine screening, and how sleepless nights, impulsive decisions, and compulsive posting point to a leader edging toward a cognitive cliff.

Gartner's Magic Quadrant is one of the most referenced tools in finance technology. In this episode of CPM Customer Success, we break down Gartner's 2025 Magic Quadrant for Financial Planning Software and explain how finance leaders should interpret it beyond surface-level rankings. We explore: How Gartner evaluates vendors across Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision The strengths and tradeoffs of other Leaders, including Anaplan, Workday Adaptive Planning, and SAP Why OneStream has been named a Leader for the fifth time, and where it consistently differentiates

December 17, 2025: Gartner's 2026 HR trends reveal how AI adoption is outpacing people systems and managerial readiness; Ford scales back parts of its electric vehicle strategy as regulatory pressure, legacy infrastructure, and workforce realities collide; white-collar job markets tighten while demand grows for skilled, non-automatable work; rising job anxiety spreads across professional roles as career certainty erodes; companies accelerate skills-based hiring as college degrees lose signaling power; and the UK passes a major Employment Rights Bill aimed at reducing job precarity by expanding worker protections and limiting unstable work arrangements.

In this episode Bill interviews Dr. John Gartner, a former Johns Hopkins professor and founder of Duty to Warn. In his return to the Bill Press Pod, Dr. Gartner provides an in-depth analysis of President Donald Trump's cognitive health, asserting that Trump exhibits signs of severe cognitive decline and personality disorders such as malignant narcissism. He discusses specific instances that showcase Trump's deteriorating mental state, including erratic behavior, memory lapses, and lack of empathy. The episode delves into the challenges and dangers posed by Trump's mental condition, its implications on his presidency, and potential future scenarios.Today Bill once again highlights the work of Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen. While the Trump administration is decimating America's soft power around the world, and our role as a provider of aid to people and countries in peril, the World Central Kitchen goes where they're needed. No matter the war zone nor the danger of a natural disaster.

AI adoption is facing significant challenges, as evidenced by Microsoft's CoPilot Plus initiative, which accounted for less than 10% of systems shipped in Q3 2024. Despite initial enthusiasm, privacy concerns surrounding features like the recall function have hindered consumer interest, leading Microsoft to pivot towards making all Windows 11 computers AI-capable through cloud-powered features. Concurrently, a decline in workplace AI usage has been reported, with only 11% of employees at large companies utilizing AI for productivity, a decrease from previous months. This trend raises concerns about the effectiveness and integration of AI technologies in business processes.The quality of AI research is also under scrutiny, highlighted by Kevin Zhao's claim of authorship of 113 academic papers in a single year, with many deemed low-quality by experts. The Neura IPS conference received over 21,500 submissions this year, reflecting a pressure to publish that may compromise research integrity. Additionally, a study indicated that while 75% of workers believe AI enhances their work quality, the actual productivity gains are modest, with heavy users reporting significant time savings compared to average users.In the realm of cybersecurity, Gartner has issued a warning against AI browsers, citing major risks such as prompt injection attacks that could expose sensitive data. Google is attempting to enhance security for its Chrome features that automate tasks, but concerns remain about the overall safety of AI agents in browsers. Meanwhile, the shift towards passkeys for secure authentication is gaining momentum, with over 2 billion passkeys in use, demonstrating a preference for phishing-resistant multi-factor authentication.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT service leaders, these developments underscore the need for a cautious approach to AI technologies and cybersecurity measures. The decline in AI adoption and the emphasis on quality research highlight the importance of integrating AI thoughtfully into existing workflows. Additionally, the urgency of addressing cybersecurity risks associated with AI browsers and the shift towards passkeys presents an opportunity for MSPs to guide clients in adopting secure and effective identity verification methods while avoiding potential pitfalls in emerging technologies. Three things to know today00:00 AI Hits the Reality Wall as Hardware Stalls, Research Quality Slips, Adoption Drops, and Safety Scores Lag07:06 Gartner Issues Stop-Sign on AI Browsers as Google Tightens Agentic Controls and Passkeys Gain Momentum10:55 Market Convergence Accelerates as NinjaOne, Netrio, and Proxmox Push Deeper into MSP Control LayersThis is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://mailprotector.com/mspradio/

Advances in quantum computing by 2029 will weaken and break the conventional asymmetric cryptography that underpins many authentication methods, Gartner has warned, significantly reducing their credence and increasing exposure to account takeover risks. The analyst firm's Hype Cycle for Digital Identity 2025 highlights the importance of post-quantum authentication (PQA), also known as quantum-safe authentication, which incorporates post-quantum cryptography to mitigate attacks using quantum computing.

The Gartner debate keeps resurfacing on LinkedIn. Skeptics vs. pragmatists vs. the "it depends" crowd. Same arguments. Same camps. Same circular conversation. Everyone's missing the point. After having hundreds of direct conversations between vendors and CISOs, I've come to a controversial conclusion: The analyst relations industry exists because marketers don't want to do the hard work of actually understanding their buyers. In this episode, I'm going deep on what no one's willing to say: How buyer insight gets distorted through seven (at least) layers of interpretation before it reaches your strategy. By the time Gartner's "insight" hits your roadmap, it's a game of telephone. Vendors expect Gartner to generate pipeline. It generates awareness. That awareness doesn't convert. And the "justification" use case? I don't buy it anymore. I'll tell you what CISOs actually say. Gartner has become a shortcut to avoid the uncomfortable work of direct buyer relationships. More surprisingly, the analysts aren't doing the deep work either. You are the product, not the customer. AI is commoditizing surface-level insight. But the deep nuance, the psychology, the politics, the unspoken objections, that still requires human connection. The differentiator is becoming more human, not less. What to do instead. How to build buyer intimacy as a core competency. Why the vendors who win will be the ones who stop outsourcing the most important work in marketing. This episode isn't about whether Gartner is good or bad. It's about a harder question: How well do you actually know your buyer? If the honest answer is "not deeply enough", Gartner isn't your problem. If you're a cybersecurity founder, marketer, or GTM leader wondering who has even the smallest inkling or intuitive feeling deep down inside that your Gartner investment isn't worthwhile, this one's for you.

Dr. John Gartner joins the Beast's Joanna Coles to assess the unraveling of Donald Trump's mind. The clinical psychologist and former Johns Hopkins professor, who warned early about Trump's “malignant narcissism,” now says the president shows clear signs of cognitive decline, comparing his confusion and grandiosity to dictators in their final stages. Coles presses Gartner on whether Trump's dementia makes him more dangerous or simply more delusional, and what that means for the remainder of Trump's second term and beyond. Is America being led by a man losing touch with reality, or is Trump still cunning enough to conceal his growing symptoms? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
