CIOs and technology leaders struggle to demonstrate the value of their initiatives to the business, but current ROI models don’t adequately account for outcomes delivered to stakeholders beyond shareholders.

Without a clear understanding of the value created and the impact on the organization’s mission-critical priorities, technology investments are often perceived as a cost center rather than strategic to the organization. Investments in technology initiatives can have a more significant impact on leading indicators of financial outcomes and future value.

Organizations need a new multifactor model that fully accounts for all financial and leading indicators of value for a range of stakeholder outcomes.

Join Rita L. Sallam (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst; to learn how to use the Gartner Enterprise Value Equation to support technology and other investment decisions and measure impact in your organization.

Discussion Topics:

• Determine how executive leaders can demonstrate the value of their initiatives
• Explore a new approach to measure, articulate and optimize value
• Identify how technology investments can bring impactful benefits and drive enterprise value

Quiet quitting isn’t new. It’s the latest name for a long-time problem: disengagement.

Employees have been mentally quitting and staying for decades. What’s new is that today’s employees have taken to social media to openly talk about it. It’s a cry for help from these employees and you should treat it as a call to action.

The root cause of quiet quitting and disengagement is UNCERTAINTY. When employees are uncertain about where they stand at work, how their performance is evaluated, or what kind of opportunities exist for them, they disengage.

When employees get mixed (or no) messages about what’s happening or what they should expect, they disengage. Uncertainty kills employee engagement and that leads to quiet quitting (or worse). But, there is an antidote to the uncertainty. It’s called CLARITY.

In this dynamic webinar, you’ll learn:

• Why quiet quitting is an opportunity to improve employee engagement and retention
• How uncertainty is driving the disengagement that fuels quiet quitting and how clarity is the key to addressing it
• Techniques and tactics for how to create the clarity that will get employees to “quietly re-engage”
