On Sunday evening I flew to Barcelona to attend the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gartner.com\/en\/conferences\/emea\/symposium-spain\" title=\"Gartner IT Symposium\/Xpo\">Gartner IT Symposium\/Xpo<\/a>. I\u2019d booked the trip months ago, and at that time it was due to take place after our last major programme milestone of the year. But our timeline had slipped and that milestone moved to the Monday following the event. So I found myself at the conference while the project team navigated a variety of last-minute issues without me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was very difficult to focus and concentrate while things were happening back at home. At one point I left a session as I needed to make a phone call, and later squirmed in my seat as a keynote overran into time where I was due to be in a project meeting. Added to this was the drama of the US election; I went to bed on Tuesday night after watching CNN for a while, had a restless night, and then woke up to find that Trump had walked it. I\u2019m still having random moments of shock, disbelief and despair peppering each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year I went to the conference by rail, but my need to get back to the office and <a href=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/2023\/11\/12\/weeknotes-246-the-man-in-seat-61\/\" title=\"Andrew Doran: Weeknotes #246 \u2014 The man in seat 61\">my experience of trying to work on the train<\/a> put me off doing the same thing again. The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2024_Spanish_floods\" title=\"Wikipedia: 2024 Spanish floods\">catastrophic weather system in Eastern Spain<\/a> was persisting, which meant that we were kept on the ground for two hours after boarding our plane at Heathrow as they waited for the area around Barcelona to clear. The delay meant that the in-flight food cart was in high demand; it never made it to where was sitting at the rear of the plane before we started our final approach to land. I ended up at my hotel just before midnight, having to find something to eat from a little shop nearby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first keynote presentation of the week always has maximum attendance. Like last year, the main auditorium was full, so I ended up watching it in a second giant room via a live video feed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Getting ready for the first keynote presentation of the week\" class=\"wp-image-11372\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Getting ready for the first keynote presentation of the week<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Ten minutes in to the presentation, it sounded as though the fire alarms were going off. I wondered how the presenters would cope, but they just carried on. It turned out that the noise was the collective sound of thousands of smartphones, all of which had received a government alert that warned of torrential rain that was heading our way. As I sat in sessions throughout the morning, I could hear the thunder outside the conference centre. Later I learned that rain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/videos\/c937l4965v0o\" title=\"BBC News: Watch: Barcelona airport and highways hit by flooding\">flooded the airport and roads around Barcelona<\/a>, but we seemed to dodge the worst of the impact.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1179\" height=\"947\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Hearing thousands of phones go off at the same time is pretty scary\" class=\"wp-image-11380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-1.jpeg 1179w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-1-300x241.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-1-1024x823.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-1-768x617.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-1-1-700x562.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1179px) 100vw, 1179px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hearing thousands of phones go off at the same time is pretty scary<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>This year our subscription meant that I had access to the CIO Lunch on the first three days. These lunches are held in the giant overflow hall. You wander in and get directed to an empty seat by a small army of staff with illuminated marshalling wands, say hello to your immediate neighbours at your table and then tuck in. It was an incredible operation; setting this many places and switching people from their starters to their hot main courses was amazing to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"The first of three CIO lunches\" class=\"wp-image-11378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-2-1-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The first of three CIO lunches<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Each day, as people tucked into their desserts, we settled in to hear from a guest keynote speaker on the stage in the room. The first of these was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carlaspearls.com\" title=\"Carla Harris\">Carla Harris<\/a>, who ended up being my favourite speaker of the entire event. Her talk was called <em>Lead to Win: How to Be an Impactful, Influential Leader in Today\u2019s Environment<\/em>, but the title didn\u2019t really do it justice. She weaved a wonderful narrative about her time at Morgan Stanley, where she continues to work, and what she has learned about effective leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Introducing the first lunchtime keynote speaker\" class=\"wp-image-11377\" srcset=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-3-1-700x525.jpeg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Introducing the first lunchtime keynote speaker<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Versions of talks from most keynote speakers are usually available on the Internet, and Harris is no exception. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=P7jNCaqugyU\" title=\"YouTube: Carla Harris Interview w\/ Adam Grant on Impactful Leadership \u2013 Authors@Wharton Event\">Here she is talking to an interviewer in December 2022 at the Wharton School<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P7jNCaqugyU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-GB&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of each day at the conference is filled with short presentations, in rooms of all shapes and sizes. Some of these were really valuable, such as Laurie Shotton\u2019s presentation on a framework for evaluating emerging technologies, Tom Scholtz\u2019s <em>3 Essential Tactics for Mastering Board-Level Cybersecurity Presentations<\/em> and Kevin Smith\u2019s <em>How New CIOs Can Accelerate Their First-Year Impact and Value as an Executive and Functional Leader<\/em>. Others, not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, ahead of my first Symposium, I spent ages agonising over which talks to sign up to in <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/gb\/app\/gartner-conference-navigator\/id443990407\" title=\"Apple App Store: Gartner Conference Navigator\">the <em>Conference Navigator<\/em> app<\/a>, trying to avoid any timeline clashes. This year I took a completely different approach, adding everything that looked even <em>remotely<\/em> interesting to my personal agenda. Typically I would then have a choice of three or four sessions to attend at any given slot throughout the four days. I\u2019d make a just-in-time decision based on downloading and skimming through a copy of the slides for each of the sessions in the app, making a call on what I thought would be most valuable one to go to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also had access to some \u2018CIO Roundtable\u2019 sessions, which were peer-based conversations led by a Gartner facilitator. These were valuable but too short, particularly one on the use of Generative AI in Banking which was just getting warmed up by the time we had to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At a Roundtable session on AI Governance we were deep into a fascinating conversation about ethics when, ironically, I spotted that the CIO sitting next to me was recording the audio of the conversation on his phone. I spent the rest of the session wrestling whether to say something about the ethics of recording without people\u2019s consent, versus the fact that anyone could be recording any of us at any time, and it being incumbent on us to not say anything that we wouldn\u2019t be happy sharing in a public forum. I didn\u2019t say anything at the time, and I\u2019m not sure that was the right thing to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In another lunchtime keynote we heard from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Martha_Lane_Fox\" title=\"Wikipedia: Martha Lane Fox\">Martha Lane Fox<\/a> on <em> Strategic Leadership in the Digital Age: Driving Innovation, Inclusion and Impact<\/em>. She told us that McKinsey had published a report on how long it will take for different industries to reach parity between the sexes. For technology, the answer was \u2018never\u2019 \u2014 we\u2019re actually standing still or going backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the sessions felt as though they were there just for the \u2018wow\u2019 factor as opposed to being actually useful. It was amazing to be in the same room as Arnold Schwarzenegger (and to hear him quote lines from <em>Kindergarten Cop<\/em>), but I don\u2019t think he offered any insights that I will take back to my day job. Gartner had originally announced that <a href=\"https:\/\/nvidianews.nvidia.com\/bios\/jensen-huang\" title=\"Nvidia: Jensen Huang\">Jensen Huang<\/a> would speak \u2014 which would have been great, and very relevant \u2014 but Schwarzenegger replaced him in the build-up to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/andrewdoran.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/DraggedImage-4-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Arnold Schwarzenegger talks to a packed auditorium.

None of what she said was revelatory, but it was a good reminder to look after ourselves and our teams. As she discussed burnout, I was thinking about another blogger and weeknoter who has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zylstra.org\/blog\/2024\/05\/week-notes-18-24\/\" title=\"Interdependent Thoughts: Week Notes 18-24\">writing about his own experience of this<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent most of Thursday working and in meetings instead of attending sessions. I\u2019m hoping to catch up with the recordings of anything significant that I missed. (But I\u2019m also hoping that I don\u2019t encounter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4gEAPF8Uec8\" title=\"YouTube: Oh The Larceny - \" good=\"\" day=\"\" coming\"=\"\" (official=\"\" lyric=\"\" video)\"=\"\">this song<\/a><sup><a id=\"ffn1\" href=\"#fn1\" class=\"footnote\">1<\/a><\/sup> again, which was played in the countdown to the start of each keynote.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m glad I went, but it wasn\u2019t as impactful as last year. I\u2019m sure that there\u2019s much more that Gartner can do to foster communication and collaboration between CIOs, which would be extremely valuable. They do provide a \u2018Peer Community\u2019 app and website, but from my experience most people just want to be in a WhatsApp or Signal group. You need to build trust and friendship, which isn\u2019t easy to do. At dinner on Tuesday evening I spent time talking with an account executive about the <a href=\"https:\/\/wb40podcast.com\" title=\"WB-40\">WB-40 podcast<\/a> Signal group and how invaluable it is to me, wondering what the special sauce is that makes it such a successful forum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One last thought is that Gartner really should start sharing the secrets of their <em>own<\/em> technology.
