Explore the Art of the Possible for Exponential IT

Technologies such as generative AI have ushered in a new era of exponential opportunities and risk. Constantly playing catch-up will leave IT – and organizations as a result – increasingly falling behind the curve.

The answer? Exponential IT, a framework defined by Info-Tech Research Group to instruct IT leaders across nine domains on how to elevate their maturity and value creation capabilities, which have implications across all traditional IT domains.

To close the gap between the exponential progression of technological change and current linear trajectories, IT will have to be the agent of change for the organization.
