Description

As generative AI moves from novelty to necessity, its most profound impact isn't in incremental efficiency — it's in the shockwaves that ripple across industries. These disruptions challenge pricing models, rewrite competitive dynamics and even blur the boundaries between entire sectors. So how do you prepare to create — or counter — these seismic shifts?

In this episode of Gartner ThinkCast, Gartner Distinguished VP Analyst Hung LeHong explores the concept of AI shockwaves: what they are, why they matter more than productivity gains, and how organizations can anticipate and harness them.

 

Tune in to discover:

  • Why first-order AI effects aren't enough to drive true disruption
  • How shockwaves emerge and the three levels of impact to watch
  • What it takes to move from cost savings to market-changing innovation
  • Why only 1 in 50 organizations succeed in creating disruption
