Gartner Fellows spend their time with the best and the brightest global innovators and thinkers. Their wide-ranging, one-on-one interviews are must-reads for anyone who needs to be on the leading edge of IT.

Iceland is a small country, but it has played a disproportionately large role in the global banking crisis. Gartner Fellow Mark Raskino looks into what its president has learned about technology and society.
John Kay is an economist, author and journalist who is known for insightful and iconoclastic ideas. He has written a number of books, including "Obliquity" in 2010, which is based on the idea that "our goals are best achieved indirectly."
How did this information entrepreneur cause thousands of large corporations to reveal their carbon footprints without government or regulatory authority? Believing the future of social and economic development depended on it made him bold enough to try.

Brigadier General William Rapp
Commandant, United States Military Academy at West Point
- Interview by
- Ken McGee

Leadership is vital in IT, but the word can be so overly used that its true value can be lost. To gain an authoritative perspective on leadership, we journeyed to one of the leadership training epicenters in the world, the United States Military Academy, to interview the commandant at West Point.

Ping An Group aims to be China's biggest integrated financial services firm. Lo Sai Lai, head of Ping An Technology, told Gartner that to achieve this "IT should aspire to create more value for the business side, and the business side needs to see more of the value that is being created for them."
Technology changes faster than people, and a better understanding of attitudes and behavior helps us make smarter decisions. In this interview, anthropologist Genevieve Bell explores the relationship between technology, business and society, and what it means for business and technology leaders.
John McDermott's background and professional experience mirror the profiles of a rapidly growing number of CIOs joining Global 1000 companies. Gartner Fellow Ken McGee met with McDermott to find out how he was conducting his CIO duties, especially during these profoundly difficult economic times.

Unlike many from the industry who leave important roles in large companies, Shai Agassi — formerly of SAP — has not returned to the IT industry. Instead, he has initiated something very different with Better Place, an electric car infrastructure initiative.
