Government IT projects are often prone to failure, and too often, the blame falls on CIOs and IT leaders. Much of the cause of project failure is usually unrelated to the IT department itself or the technology.

It can be attributed to an unwillingness or inability of senior government executives to engage in effective decision making, poor IT investment decision-making processes, and the failure of government executives to take responsibility for change management.

Yet, how can government IT leaders impact factors that seem beyond their control?

Join Michael Brown (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Sr. Director Analyst  & Michael McFerron  (LinkedIn profile) Gartner Sr Director Analyst

Discussion Topics:

• Discover ways to engage government business/mission units for a shared outcome

Technology and service providers (TSPs) should expect economic uncertainty to challenge their revenue growth goals.

Data and analytics leaders recognize there is an inherent need for data-driven business decision making, but linking this demand to specific business benefits and outcomes can be difficult, deterring stakeholder buy-in and support.

According to respondents from the Gartner 2023 CDAO Agenda Survey, only a third of data and analytics functions are effective at showing demonstrable value to their stakeholders (35%) or promoting a data-driven decision style (31%), and only one in four achieved objectives for data monetization (24%).

This makes it challenging enough to successfully define a business case that will achieve executive approval, even without hiding behind vague statements about “better decision making.” CDAOs must provide strong leadership for selling the value of data and analytics to their stakeholders.

In this webinar Alan D. Duncan (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner VP Analyst reveals the six steps data and analytics leaders must take to obtain buy-in from their stakeholders.

Discussion Topics:

• Set a strong vision for the desired end state and business outcomes that stakeholders care about
• Overcome inhibitors preventing progress on data and analytics initiatives
• Take immediate actions that build momentum for the business domains
