Seeking Your Help to Plan for Gartner Government Research in 2012

Andrea Di Maio — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 07:27:16 +0000

Like every year, we are starting the planning process for our research agendas across Gartner. For those who are not familiar with this term, research agendas contain our high-level plans for the research we are going to conduct in each technology and industry domain we cover across our firm. They are published, usually early in the calendar year, under a title like “Key Issues for…..”.

For our government clients, the research agenda for year 2011 is contained in Key Issues for Government, 2011.

In planning our research agendas for 2012, including the one for Government, we use a variety of data points, such as inquiries from our clients, interactions during various Gartner events, readership of our research notes on gartner.com, the dialogue supported via multiple social media, as well as online surveys that we offer to our clients and non-clients.

My colleague Massimiliano Claps, who is the government research agenda manager for Gartner, would like to offer this blog’s readers the opportunity of influencing our planning process by responding to this online survey, which asks few very simple questions and demographic details for analysis purposes.

Thank you very much in advance for your input.

Last Day to Tell Us What You Want from Gartner Government Research in 2011

Andrea Di Maio — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 08:11:20 +0000

As I have flagged in an earlier post, we have an online survey to ask our clients, prospects and the broader government community what are their business and technology priorities for 2011 and beyond. This will allow us to articulate our research agenda for 2011.

The original deadline of September 24th has been extended to today, October 1st. So if you have not done so already, please take the survey.

Thank you!

Reminder: Take Our Government Research Survey by September 24th

As I said in a previous post, we are currently collecting input to shape the Gartner Government Research Agenda for 2011.

All it takes is to respond to this online survey, which asks three very simple questions:

What are your top three technology issues for 2011?
What are your top three IT management issues for 2011?
What are the top three challenges for IT that you foresee for the next 3 to 5 years?

You can find a permanent link to the survey also on the bottom left hand side of this page

Thank you in advance for your help

Seeking Your Help to Plan for Gartner Government Research in 2011

Andrea Di Maio — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:09:01 +0000

For our government clients, the research agenda for year 2010 is contained in Key Issues for Government, 2010. Later in the year, we also published Key Issues for Defense and Intelligence, 2010, as a complement to out existing agenda.

In planning our research agendas for 2011, including the one for Government, we use a variety of data points, such as inquiries from our clients, interactions during various Gartner events, readership of our research notes on gartner.com, the dialogue supported via multiple social media, as well as online surveys that we offer to our clients and non-clients.

Since this particular blog has a fairly good readership, both in size and quality of audience. I would like to offer readers the opportunity of influencing our planning process in either or both the following ways:

by responding to this online survey, which asks three very simple questions and few demographic details for analysis purposes;
by just commenting this post with ideas about what we should be covering, what we should stop researching about, and how do you feel we could develop research material that is relevant and compelling for you as individuals as well as for your organizations.

This time we have started the planning process a couple of months earlier, in order to be able to publish our research agenda for 2011 by the end of this year.

Thank you very much in advance for your input.

Help Gartner Define Its Government Research Agenda for 2010

Andrea Di Maio — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:08:11 +0000

As the agenda manager for the government research team in Gartner, I am in the process of gathering input from clients and non clients about the areas we should be researching about in the course of 2010.

You are welcome to respond to our survey, which asks three very simple questions:

What are your top three technology issues for 2010?
What are your top three IT management issues for 2010?
What are the top three challenges for IT caused by the economic downturn and recovery initiatives?

I am looking forward to collecting your responses by November 30th. Please use the link above rather than posting a comment if you want your input to be part of the survey.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Take Our Survey on Cost Optimization in Government

Andrea Di Maio — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 07:01:44 +0000

Massimiliano Claps and Dave McClure here.

The Gartner Government research team is deeply involved with U.S. and global government agencies to help them navigate through the current economic turmoil, by advising on cost optimization, both within IT departments and leveraging IT systems to optimize overall program/department expenses. To further improve our ability to provide in-depth advice, we are conducting a brief survey that investigates strategic and tactical cost optimization actions that have been implemented (or are planned to be implemented) by federal, state and local government agencies, as well as what the results and major barriers have been so far in deploying those actions.

The survey can be found here, and takes 10-15 minutes to complete.

As a token of our appreciation, if you qualify for and complete the questionnaire, you will receive a copy of the final Research Study once it has been completed.

Please note that all information you provide will be used for research purposes only. None of your responses will be identified with your name or your organization’s name without your permission.

Please also make sure you answer with reference only to budgets your office controls (e.g., statewide or specific department, agency, bureau, or office) not for non-IT departmental budgets controlled by line-of-business/program executives.

We look forward to your feedback!

Help Us Prepare the Research Agenda for Government, 2009

Andrea Di Maio — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 06:04:00 +0000

We have just started surveys and client discussions about the topics we need to cover for our government research in 2009. This is what we cann “Research Agenda”, which we publish at the beginning of each year (take a look at the Government Agenda for 2008).

We are looking for specific areas of concern for government clients around the world, and we would like to ask both government clients and non-clients three simple questions:

What are your top three technology issues for 2009?
What are your top three IT management issues for 2009?
What are the top three challenges for IT caused by the economic downturn and financial crisis?

You are welcome to either take our ON-LINE SURVEY or to respond to this post
