Notice of Lack of Financial Bias: You are reading one of the only independent sources on Gartner. If you look at the information software vendors or consulting firms provide about Gartner, it is exclusively about using Gartner to help them sell software or consulting services. None of these sources care that Gartner is a faux research entity that makes up its findings and has massive financial conflicts. The IT industry is generally petrified of Gartner and only publishes complementary information about them. The article below is very different.

  • First, it is published by a research entity, not an unreliable software vendor or consulting firm that has no idea what research is. 
  • Second, no one paid for this article to be written, and it is not pretending to inform you while being rigged to sell you software or consulting services as a vendor or consulting firm that shares their ranking in some Gartner report. Unlike nearly every other article you will find from Google on this topic, it has had no input from any company's marketing or sales department. 

Gartner VP Embarrassing Himself

The first question is, has Michael Chertoff figured out the issue with the SuperDome yet?

Look at the interviewer: “Is richer data better?” You know, like a Chinese social credit score.

  • Gee, I don’t know Gartner, is it?
  • Does this VP Analyst realize what he just said? Also, does he know the subject matter of the talk? It is unclear from his line of questioning.

Conclusion

This is awful. Obviously, you don’t need to know much or to have thinking skills to be a distinguished vice president analyst at Gartner.
