Stacy Zapata reposted thisStacy Zapata reposted thisIt’s iced coffee weather here in London, and AI conversations in the C-suite are heating up just as fast. Looking for something to listen to this weekend while you try to keep cool? I was recently featured on Gartner ThinkCast to discuss my latest research: ROI Is Not Enough. The episode explores how executive conversations about AI are evolving, and why financial return alone is only one measure of AI success. There are three critical conversations shaping AI strategy today: ROI: Will AI pay off? Operational Resilience: Do we have the right human-AI mix to operate now and in the future? Competitive Advantage: Is AI forcing us to become another kind of organisation? Listen to the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/gkMPSSWf Gartner subscribers can read the full research and download the slides here: https://lnkd.in/giZ98wN2 Which of these three conversations is most active in your organization right now?

While only 24% of CIOs believe their models effectively adapt to business needs. CIOs need to move beyond rigid, legacy IT operating models to orchestrate enterprisewide technology, deliver value and manage AI-driven complexity.From IT Control to Technology Operating Model OrchestrationFrom IT Control to Technology Operating Model OrchestrationGartner for IT

Stacy Zapata reacted on thisStacy Zapata reacted on this20 years ago, I accepted my first "big kid" job and moved alone to a city I had never visited. What gave me confidence wasn't certainty about the future; it was a feeling during my interview that I had found a place where I belonged and where opportunities were possible. Twenty years later, that feeling remains. I've had the privilege of being a part of incredible teams, contributing to global initiatives, and growing through opportunities I never could have imagined. Amongst the wins and challenges, every experience has shaped who I am today. Throughout my journey, I've been surrounded by leaders who believe in me, colleagues who challenge and support me; developing friendships that have become family. Through the milestones of marriage, motherhood, and countless personal and professional chapters, my constant remains: my TEK family. Thank you, TEKsystems for investing in me, pushing me to be my best. I am incredibly grateful and excited for our future in what lies ahead. Here's to continued growth, learning. ❤️ #Grateful #WorkAnniversary #20Years #TEKsystems #GrowthJourney
