No one needs to tell you that the business world is changing as digital transformation expands. So maybe you should consider changing your application organization, too? Matt Hotle is a research vice president at Gartner:

“The pace of change is accelerating. So maybe you can outrun it. Maybe you can push yourself, and just try to stay ahead. Just keep your application organization the same, but just try to move a little bit quicker. And you could probably do that for a while, but eventually this wave is going to catch up with you, and it’s going to bury you. So really what you’ve got to do is start to think about is, ‘Okay, how do I consider what is really changing here?’ Because there’s a single word that comes in here, and it’s what’s changing? Everything.”

Matt Hotle says it is time we reinvent our application organizations so our enterprises can thrive in the digital and product-based world. What exactly does that mean? How do we shift our focus to be product-based? Matt Hotle will dive extensively into those questions December 4-6 in Las Vegas at the Gartner Application Strategies & Solutions Summit. First, he sat down with us to discuss what needs to change in our application organizations and our overall approach.
