AI has drastically transformed industries such as healthcare, finance, transportation, and entertainment, leading to improved efficiency, accuracy, and convenience.

Generative AI (GenAI) will be the next wave of change washing over every industry, including technology and service providers (TSPs). GenAI will surely change everything, except some areas where it doesn’t change anything.

With any new hyped technology, there will be spurious spending by business leaders and special projects.

However, boards and CEOs are being cautious with their spending. CIOs are expected to create a long-term strategy, plan for, and implement GenAI within the scope of the IT budget.

Join this Gartner panel  which explores how and where GenAI is changing IT spending amounts, and how GenAI will change the IT services market.

Discussion Topics:

• Explore forecasts for IT spending growth in 2023 and beyond
• How and where GenAI is changing IT spending amounts and mixes
• Get new and emerging use cases for GenAI

Presenters:  

• John-David Lovelock, (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst, Chief Forecaster

Bad projects abound, and research by Project Management Institute and others has provided useful insight into the underlying causes of bad projects.

In this webinar Michael looks beyond why projects go bad and explores why bad projects are so hard to kill.

Michael explains how sunk costs, groupthink, escalation of commitment, and conflicts of interest contribute to keeping death-march projects needlessly alive.

Each of these behaviors is defined and illustrated using project stories from history (the sinking of the Titanic and the Concorde jetliner), project stories from the presenter’s own personal experience climbing some of the world’s tallest mountains (Denali, Aconcagua, and Kilimanjaro), and project stories from business (Abilene Paradox and industry-funded soda studies).

Some recently published research about the neural science underlying these behaviors is referenced and the impact of these behaviors is described and then linked to the undercutting of ethics, trust, leadership, and project success.

Walk away with a list of actions that you can take to help avoid being victimized by bad projects.

Presenter: Michael O’Brochta (LinkedIn profile) ACP, PMP  MPM is the author of How To Get Executives To Act For Project Success: Building A Strong Mutual Partnership and has managed hundreds of projects as President of Zozer Inc where Michael helps organizations raise their level of project management performance. As senior project manager at the Central Intelligence Agency, he led the project management and systems engineering training and certification program to mature practices agency-wide.  Since Michael’s recent climb of another of the world’s seven summits, he has been exploring the relationship between project management and mountain climbing
