It’s no secret that innovation now arrives faster than most CIOs and IT departments can cope with.

Gartner also examines how specific technologies—ranging from artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT) to blockchain and bots—are altering the business and IT landscape, along with the key areas that business and IT leaders are focusing on. Here are some of the key findings and recommendations.
