Description

As AI capabilities surge ahead, human readiness is struggling to keep pace — and that imbalance could derail your path to real value. So how can CIOs and IT leaders navigate this gap and avoid costly missteps?

In this episode of Gartner ThinkCast, you'll hear the first 20 minutes of the Opening Keynote from Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2025, straight from the stage in Orlando.

  • How to plan for the hidden "transition mortgage" behind AI costs
  • Why conversational agents aren't enough
  • How to handle vendor selection in the era of digital nation states
  • Why a value remix strategy can unlock growth without workforce chaos
