Last week, the TNCR team was on the ground at the Gartner IT Symposium, speaking directly with CIOs and the people who work closest with them. While AI once again dominated the agenda, the focus was squarely on execution.
CIOs are done talking about potential; they’re ready for results.
That theme reaches beyond the conference floor and across the industry.
OpenAI’s new structure is expanding Microsoft’s role and adding formal AGI oversight, putting control and accountability at the center of the conversation.

Also in action:

Big tech giants are heading into earnings season under a microscope.
Former Meta engineer takes on CTO role at a major ticketing company.
