Sixty-three percent of CFOs believe this inflationary period will last at least 12 months, according to Gartner research, which means the financial and economic reality businesses face isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. And on the horizon is a possible recession — something that business leaders find themselves preparing for, or should if they’re not already. In this episode, Alexander Bant, Chief of Research for CFOs at Gartner, and Brian Kropp, a Distinguished Vice President of Research who oversees the research, tools, services and support that Gartner provides to HR leaders, discuss how organizations can not only weather these current macro forces, but also harness opportunities to drive profitable and efficient growth.

You’ve likely heard the phrase “enterprise value model,” but how many of us know exactly what it means — and how to use it to our organization’s advantage? Especially in today’s business environment, which is full of conflicting variables, discontinuity and disruption, we’ve discovered that traditional return-on-investment models fail to properly account for non-financial variables that are critical to value creation. In this episode, Rita Sallam, a Distinguished VP Analyst and Gartner Fellow on the Data and Analytics team, and Donna Scott, a Distinguished VP Analyst in Gartner's Office of the CIO Research, join us to break down a new enterprise value equation that offers leaders a fresh way to view the decisions they make in terms of the impact those decisions deliver to various stakeholders and the value the organization realizes in return — not just in the here and now, but also so far as the long-term health of the business.

According to our research, 76% of CIOs and 61% of CEOs believe that demand from machine customers will become significant in their industry by 2030. On average, these leaders predict that by that date, over 21% of their revenue will come from machine customers. This suggests a market shift twice as deep and twice as fast as the arrival of e-commerce has been. In this episode, Senior Director Analyst Uma Challa and Director, Analyst Brian Weber, both of who sit in Gartner’s customer service practice, join us to discuss the rapid rise of machine customers and how it will affect leaders across customer service, marketing, sales, data and analytics, IT, and more.

Every business likes to claim that it is “data-driven” or at least “data-informed,” but too often, that’s not the way things actually work. Data is relegated to an IT function, siloed and, in some cases, boils down to simply producing more reports and dashboards. There is, however, a better way, and it relies on successfully linking data to business outcomes. In this episode, Andrew White, a Distinguished VP Analyst for Data and Analytics, and Sarah Turkaly, a Principal, Advisory for Data and Analytics, outline how you can use the Gartner Value Pyramid to break down silos, reengineer key decisions and align data with leadership’s mission critical priorities.

Our new research shows that just one in four employees feel connected to their organization’s culture. Yet, employees who feel this way experience a 36% boost in performance and retention. You’ve likely heard plenty of conversation about what the workforce now expects from their employers, especially when it comes to culture — and this is exactly why. Here to discuss their research and insights into organizational culture are Alexia Cambon, a Research Director in Gartner’s HR research practice, and Mark Whittle, a Vice President of Research & Advisory, who also works within our HR practice.

Sixty percent of HR leaders are significantly concerned about employee turnover, and 62% of candidates have explored a career change in the last year. Top that off with the fact that a recent Gartner survey showed nearly three-quarters of candidates who receive a job offer have at least one other offer on the table, and it’s clear that attracting and retaining talent is a top-of-mind challenge for all business leaders. We also know that 41% of managers report needing to increase base salary an average of 15% to backfill roles. It raises the question, how can leaders attract and retain top talent if their budgets don’t support this level of funding? Graham Waller, a Distinguished VP Analyst on Gartner's digital business leadership research team, and Jamie Kohn, a Research Director in our human resources practice, join us today to discuss just that.

Gartner estimates that there are 2.7 billion frontline workers — more than twice the number of desk-based workers. Yet, when it comes to discussing the future of work, the former are too often conspicuously absent from the conversation.

Fifty-two percent of respondents to a recent Gartner survey said the pandemic made them question the purpose of their day-to-day job, and 50% said it changed their expectations of their employer. It explains why we’ve been hearing so much about the so-called Great Resignation. In the first episode of a new series around the ever-evolving future of work, Chris Howard, Gartner’s Chief of Research, and Michelle Bazargan, a Senior Director of Strategy and Innovation, discuss how we arrived at the current moment, what leaders can do to adapt and, more so, fuel innovation, and what they expect to see come out of this reckoning.
