Deliver AI Outcomes in a Fast-Paced, Changing Landscape

The IT landscape is changing, again. Data, of every-kind, is coming from everywhere; the sources of AI entering the enterprise are proliferating; and the ways to build and support AI, from a technical and responsible use perspective, are ever changing. As a CIO, you need a multilayered technology approach that supports both centralised and decentralised ownership. However, like always, you still need a bottom layer of centralised data and AI that come from IT and D&A, which is your traditional, bottom-up tech stack. But now, you also need a top layer that harnesses data and AI coming from everywhere, such as your marketing or HR departments. In other words, you need to build an AI tech sandwich. 

In this exclusive virtual briefing session led by Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst and Keynote speaker Hung LeHong, we will explore Gartner’s AI technology sandwich, which helps CIOs (and AI leaders) take a step back and reimagine the bigger picture of how their technology stacks, data approaches and governance structure will need to effectively, and safely, adapt to these various AI sources. We will help you understand how AI architecture is changing and define what’s needed to enable your enterprise’s AI ambition. You’ll gain insight from one of the most popular research presentations, where we’ll cover answers to your vital questions including: how will my enterprise execute AI? How will we govern it? What should my “tech stack” look like to support it? Plus, to show how you can turn this insight into action, former senior technology leaders, now Gartner Executive Partners, will showcase how they use the AI tech sandwich with CIOs and IT executives as a communication and planning tool in their organisation. You’ll hear how they guide CIOs and IT leaders to use the framework to better communicate to senior leadership around the technology and governance components that need to come together to execute on AI. In addition, this framework can be leveraged to plan financially for any costs or resources required to execute AI across the enterprise and better position AI to their boards. You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions and recommended actions to help you achieve your goals.

• Learn the tech stack you need to support the influx of AI

• Understand how the Gartner AI tech sandwich framework can be used in your organisation

• Gain insight on how you can design your own AI tech sandwich

With AI and data coming from everywhere, CEOs are largely relying on CIOs and their teams to deliver AI outcomes safely and at scale. Plus, tech vendors are flooding the market with highly hyped AI-embedded technologies, and CEOs believe the hype is justified. The stakes have never been higher, and according to the 2024 Gartner AI Survey, 57% of CIOs said that they are tasked with leading the AI strategy in their organisation. However, 47% of CIOs said that AI has not met their ROI expectations, therefore recognising that delivering on AI outcomes is difficult. Whether you have modest or bigger AI ambitions, how can you set the right AI pace in your organisation to meet desired business and technology objectives?

Join this exclusive invitation-only virtual session, where a panel of former IT executives, now Gartner Executive Partners will showcase how they guide CIOs and their teams in achieving greater success with ROI and how to avoid costs rapidly escalating around AI. We will focus on the challenges faced by your peer CIOs and their teams when their CEO’s expectations are being hyped by vendors and the market expectations, and the tools you can use to set your pace with AI. IT leaders can join this session to understand what the CIO expects from them and how they also can improve results and performance with tools and insight. You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions and recommended actions to help you achieve your goals.
