What you’ll learn

Midsize enterprise CIOs face a complex landscape shaped by uncertainty and outsized expectations for AI and digital transformation. As CEOs shift focus from cost control to top-line growth, technology, especially AI, is seen as a key enabler. Yet, 70% of midsize enterprise CEOs believe their current operating models aren’t built for an AI-driven world. This creates both a challenge and an opportunity for CIOs to evolve IT strategies that align with business growth goals. To meet this demand, CIOs must transform their IT operating models to outcome-oriented approaches that directly support business KPIs like revenue, speed and innovation.


Join this invitation-only, complimentary virtual briefing as Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst Donna Scott shares practical insights and a reference guide to aid the design, implementation and evolution of your IT operating model components, ensuring your IT organization is positioned to achieve your business’s strategic objectives. Then, to help you understand how Gartner enables you to turn these insights into action, this presentation will be followed by exclusive guidance from a former CIO leader, now a Gartner Executive Partner (EP.) EPs are responsible for helping executives, like you, achieve their mission-critical priorities with contextualized and personalized advice based on their experience and understanding of your role. You will hear examples to inspire how you can transform your operating model for growth. Plus, you will gain insight and inspiration from a CIO during a live peer interview, get answers to your questions and learn about tools that can help you achieve your goals.


  • Learn the IT operating model’s role in meeting increasing expectations from senior business leaders on IT and AI value contribution

  • Understand available Gartner tools to assess and plan your IT operating model transformation
