At the 2022 Gartner IT Symposium held in Barcelona, David Groombridge, distinguished VP analyst, shares the top strategic tech trends for 2023 that #IT cannot afford to ignore as they deal with the uncertainty driven by global change.
Strategic technology trends have significant disruptive potential and set the stage for innovation over the next five years. Enterprises must examine the business impact of these trends and adjust business operations appropriately or risk losing competitive advantage to those who do. These are trends that IT cannot afford to ignore as they deal with the uncertainty driven by global change.
"To enhance their organisation’s financial position during times of economic turbulence, CIOs and IT executives must look beyond cost savings to new forms of operational excellence while continuing to accelerate digital transformation.”

The Gartner strategic technology trends for 2023 are built around three themes - optimise, scale and pioneer – where technologies can help organisations optimise resilience, operations or trust, scale vertical solutions and product delivery, and pioneer with new forms of engagement, accelerated responses or opportunity.
Key takeaways
“CIOs and IT executives should focus on digital investments that deliver repeatable financial and performance results in an efficient and responsible way. This is what Gartner calls IT for sustainable growth.”
“CIOs can use IT for sustainable growth by focusing on three strategies – revolutionary work, responsible investment and resilient cybersecurity.”
“Revolutionize work and deliver business results by creating a tech-enabled brand, eliminating work friction and adding AI augmentation by experimenting with the highly hyped.”
“Responsibly invest in technologies that will give you a “two for one” return on financial and environmental sustainability.”
“Resilient cybersecurity will deliver a competitive advantage for you in the long term. Treat security as a business risk, benchmark the right security metrics and agree on the right level of protection for your organization.”
