About Interviews

The Gartner Fellows Interviews pair the best and the brightest of Gartner analysts with the best and the brightest unconventional thinkers and leaders within and without the IT world. They are the people who make a difference, the people whose interests and expertise include not only IT, but business, government, policy, innovation, the future, and most of all — people.

This is where it all begins and ends, with notable people whose approaches to success are not mired in the mundane. The Gartner Fellows Interviews highlight our fears, our uncertainties and the ideas we must embrace to reach our dreams and goals in a complex, uncertain world.
