Gartner 10 Top Strategic Technology Trends 2024

Each year, Gartner selects top trends that are important strategically because they are expected to:

  • Significantly impact or be impacted by a technology
  • Require a response from C-suite executives responsible for digital and/or IT strategy
  • Demand a response (either a decision to act or action itself) in the next 0-36 months

In the fast-evolving age of artificial intelligence (AI), these innovations can help your organization build and protect itself while generating value. Some are driven by AI; others help you to operate and grow effectively and safely as customer expectations and business models evolve with AI.

Gartner expects these trends to create an imperative to act among at least 20% of our IT clients, making them broadly applicable to digital, IT, and technology leaders and the strategic ambitions of many CEOs. Different trends will impact different organizations in different ways, so first, evaluate which of these trends present opportunities and risks to your organization’s strategic direction.
