Re: Gartner
Basically if a report says Gartner at the top then ignore it. Or better still burn it with fire.
Most recently during the general election (UK here) I was trawling my constituency for a candidate I felt was enough of a human being to actually vote for.
It wasn't easy. After discounting everyone else I was left with the Lib Dem and the Green.
The Green guys full CV was up on a site so I had a read. Former senior researcher/manager at Gartner.... Uh Oh.... But I didn't want to judge to early so I jumped down to the bottom of the document and was confronted with a seemingly endless list of buzzwords, one to a line. Not knowing what I was reading I paged up a few times. 3 pages further up I found the title of this "section" was "Skills I possess".
Within a few lines of that the first skill that caught my eye "Thought Leadership".
I voted for the other one.
