Description:

In this episode of Gartner ThinkCast, we dive back into one of the most urgent questions facing enterprise leaders in 2025: How can organizations turn GenAI initiatives into measurable business value?

 

Recorded from a recent Gartner webinar, Gartner Senior Director Analyst Nate Suda walks through how productivity does not automatically equal value, and the often-misunderstood link between the two. From productivity leakage and task-level blindspots to bottlenecks, prioritization strategies and use case misfires, Suda delivers a clear framework for where to focus — and who to focus on — to get the most out of GenAI.

 

Tune in to discover:

  • Why productivity does not equal value
  • What productivity leakage looks like and how to stop it
  • How to match GenAI use cases to employee experience
  • Four ways to define productivity beyond just speed or time saved
