In nearly every EA leadership conversation I’ve had this year, the same tension surfaces: the practice is doing real work, but stakeholders can’t describe what it delivers.

The application and product security landscape is evolving as threat actors demonstrate greater sophistication, placing increased demands on security programs.

We’re seeing a lot of people churn in organizations at the moment, from wholesale reorganizations to CX leaders swapping jobs.

At NVIDIA GTC 2026, the most consequential signal was not another leap in compute performance but how intentionally NVIDIA is redefining AI as end‑to‑end infrastructure spanning systems, software, data, and the physical world. The event underscored a longer‑term strategy focused on owning how AI is built, operated, and scaled, not just what runs fastest.

Many customer experience (CX) leaders struggle to get executive buy-in. A conversation about customer loyalty or a dashboard highlighting month-over-month channel performance just doesn’t have the sway because CX is not just about survey results or incremental improvements to channels or touchpoints — it is a primary lever for growth, trust, and long‑term competitiveness. The […]

T&M has been the gold standard for tech, legal, consulting, agency, audit, tax, and recruiting services for generations. And for good reason: Under T&M pricing, you pay for labor by the hour. It’s simple, familiar, broadly applicable, […]

When organizations set out to select a digital analytics vendor, the process often starts in a familiar place: comparing technology capabilities. Buyers naturally gravitate toward current offering and strategy comparisons to understand how vendors stack up feature by feature and where platforms are headed. This is exactly where The Forrester Wave™: Digital Analytics Solutions, Q3 […]

Customer success managers (CSMs) are like pilots. They know how to fly the plane and keep customers moving toward their destination. But not even the most capable pilots could manage every variable alone. Without an air traffic control tower, flights paths would get tangled, delays would pile up, and small issues would turn into emergencies. […]
