Who Should You Network With?
The default reaction of many CIOs is to start by networking with people in your industry. But what about what you can learn from people in completely unrelated industries? Gartner is pursuing an exciting new line of research called business model analogy. Research so far has yielded the fact that, if you want to deliver true IT-enabled competitive advantage, you should be looking far beyond your industry to other industries with similar underlying structures and practices that you can adapt to deliver more value. Join us for an analogy networking session, where you will be able to identify the optimal peers to learn from – in an industry that doesn’t compete with yours.
