Have you ever been in one of those situations where it was very clear the person you were speaking with wasn’t listening to you?

I’ve been lucky to have had some very interesting jobs during the course of my career. One stint as an applications auditor gave me lots of insight that applies directly in my current role as an analyst. In short, my teammates and I interviewed application developers and the customers for whom they had developed the [...]

This week I met with a variety of clients. In one session attended by 11 people, we started the meeting by asking each person to introduce themself and mention the questions they wanted me to cover. One of the attendees responded that they’d like to know what’s next. “What is the next thing over the horizon, [...]

Symposium week is always a mad rush of 1-1 meetings, presentations, workshops and chance encounters. But this year it seemed more intense, more frenzied.

And then there were the incessant warnings of hurricane Sandy which you can’t avoid when traveling in Florida. [...]

Knowledge management has gone through a metamorphosis but it seems not everyone got the memo. In our Gartner research, we’ve written about a shift in focus from knowledge capture to creating connections among knowledgeable people. The premise of the research is that the reason so many of the knowledge management initiatives started a decade a [...]

Some days it’s really, really fun to be an analyst. You get to talk to such interesting people – and it’s part of your day job. What could be better? I had one of those situations this week when I had the pleasure of reconnecting with Vineet Nayar, the CEO of HCL Technologies. My colleague [...]

I’ve been reflecting on the myriad of client meetings I had during the PPM and Enterprise Architecture Summits. When you have lots of discussions on a single topic in quick succession, it helps you to crystallize the common theme. What I was surprised by is the mystical, magical and miraculous powers some people attach to social. [...]

Every time I come back from a Gartner Summit – in this case two of them: Portals, Content and Collaboration Summit and the Customer 360 Summit – I am energized and excited. I’m energized by the enthusiasm of people who want to make their workplace a better place to work. I am excited that I [...]
