This change will make headcount reduction business cases difficult to justify. Join this complimentary Gartner AI webinar as a Gartner expert reveals perspectives on job disruption, productivity gains, or the lack thereof, and how these factors connect to business value creation. You will walk away from this session with answers to your vital questions, a copy of the research slides and recommended actions to help you formulate practical AI strategies that deliver tangible business results.

  • Analyze productivity and its connection to value creation
  • Calculate value across the spectrum of AI portfolio
