Gartner Says Sales Organizations That Use an Adaptive Approach Are Three Times More Likely to Grow

Experts Reveal How to Construct and Leverage an Adaptive Organization at the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference 2024, May 21-22 in Las Vegas

Sales organizations that embrace being adaptive by design will outpace competition and achieve superior commercial outcomes, according to Gartner, Inc.

During the opening keynote at the Gartner CSO & Sales Leader Conference, which is taking place here through Wednesday, Gartner experts discussed how future-proofing an organization to manage change with agility is the key to unlocking growth opportunities by as much as 3x.

“From budget constraints and limited resources to fast-evolving buyer expectations and mounting pressure to adopt and master new technology, sales leaders are stuck in a reactive mode,” said Dave Egloff, VP Analyst in the Gartner Sales Practice. “Rather than building organizational adaptability in the face of this constant chaos, leaders are over-relying on individual sellers, leading to seller burnout and performance issues.”

According to a Gartner survey of over 200 senior sales leaders conducted in November and December 2023, two out of three sales leaders struggle to shift resources to an emerging priority.

“Sellers are overwhelmed and experiencing change fatigue from this pressure cooker backdrop,” continued Egloff. “For a sales organization to succeed in constant disruption, leaders must signal a pivot from a reactive approach to being adaptive by design. It is this game-changing shift towards anticipatory adaptation that will lead to an organization having a winning advantage.”

Pivot from adaptive by necessity to adaptive by design

An adaptive organization can effectively navigate the decision-making process with speed and accuracy. Being adaptive by design allows organizations to advance confidently through this decision process as they utilize sales intelligence to find usable, contextualized insights, quickly evaluate to determine a course of action, trigger change to gain competitive advantage, and ultimately sustain those actions through disciplined change management.

What separates the winners are three accelerators that speed up decision making:

  1. Revenue intelligence leverages data as contextualized insight, informing sales leaders on what’s coming, what’s working, what’s slowing them down, and what they should do as a result. Data is both predictive and actionable, giving organizations the power to adapt.
  2. Technology as a teammate focuses on building a different relationship between humans and technology, one which has clearly defined responsibilities and transparent actionability. Technology is no longer just another tool that can overwhelm sellers but now a partner that expedites their ability to adapt.
  3. Modularity enables agility and allows organizations to tweak their approach to the situation as it evolves, rather than being locked into tightly interwoven dependencies.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Puneet Arora, Global President, Yellow.ai

“In order to thrive in the uncertainty, sales organizations must embrace constant adaptation, effective decision making, and be able to sustain shifts in strategy or execution,” said Alice Walmesley, Director, Advisory in the Gartner Sales Practice. “Organizations that make this shift to adaptive design are more likely to mitigate the downsides created by external events and capture the full potential of opportunities.”

“CSOs must embrace this winning formula regardless of marketplace conditions, acting with agility and finding opportunities for growth in disruption” concluded Walmesley.

Recent research from Proxima, Bain & Co, has revealed that Fortune 500 companies’ external supplier costs account for an average of 75% of their total spending and 65% of their revenue. Additionally, Fortune 500 and FTSE 350 companies could expect to see a 32% and a 27% surge in EBITDA, respectively, from just a 10% cut in supplier costs.1

“A digital approach requires us to embrace new technology systems, data management, and sophisticated analysis. By leveraging AI and advanced analytics, we can transform procurement into a function that improves EBITDA margins, drives supply chain innovation, and enhances overall business agility,” said Dr. Elouise Epstein, author and partner at Kearney.

“Supplier spend represents the greatest expense within an enterprise. Siloed people, data, and legacy systems waste valuable resources and create unnecessary risks for legal and IT departments,” explained Stan Garber, co-founder and president of Levelpath. “The Levelpath AI platform ensures enterprise-wide engagement and adoption through its simplicity, while our Hyperbridge reasoning engine enriches data for maximum productivity and spend visibility across the business.”

Rooted in Supplier Engagement Expertise
Levelpath co-founders Garber and Alex Yakubovich are recognized experts in the procurement arena, having previously founded Scout RFP, a cloud-based platform for strategic sourcing and supplier engagement. Scout RFP was acquired by Workday in 2019.

“Our work at Scout RFP and Workday gave us unique insights into reimagining the procurement process,” said Yakubovich. “While most technology advancements focus on automating specific tasks, we recognized the need for an AI solution that unifies procurement to enhance both employee experiences and business outcomes. The Levelpath built-from-the-ground-up procurement platform provides users with a solution that makes the procurement process truly delightful.”

The Need for Delightful Procurement
In an era where productivity is paramount with constrained budgets and consolidated teams, using the right procurement platform becomes the critical link to achieving more with less. Traditional multi-solution approaches to procurement often result in fragmented customer experiences. The Levelpath AI-driven platform redefines procurement productivity and creates a truly delightful procurement experience.

NinjaTech AI has trained its models with AWS Trainium (Amazon EC2 Trn1 instances) and is serving them using AWS Inferentia2 (Amazon EC2 Inf2 instances). Trainium powers high-performance compute clusters on AWS for training LLMs faster and at a lower cost, while using less energy. The Inferentia2 chip enables models to generate inferences faster and at a much lower cost, with up to 40% better price performance.

Read More: SalesTechStar Interview with Puneet Arora, Global President, Yellow.ai

“Our collaboration with AWS has been critical to accelerating our ability to develop a truly novel generative AI-based planner and action engine, which are vital to building state-of-the-art AI agents. Because we needed the most elastic and highest-performing chips with incredible accuracy and speed, our decision to train and deploy Ninja on Trainium and Inferentia2 chips made perfect sense,” added Pahlavan. “Every generative AI company should be considering AWS if they want access to on-demand AI chips with incredible flexibility and speed.”

Users can access Ninja by visiting myninja.ai. Starting today, Ninja offers four conversational AI agents capable of doing multi-step, real-time web research, scheduling meetings with internal and external parties via email, helping out with coding tasks, as well as drafting emails and giving advice. Additionally, Ninja offers easy access to side-by-side result comparisons from world-class models from companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Lastly, Ninja offers a state-of-the-art asynchronous infrastructure that allows users to tackle a nearly infinite number of tasks all at once. Ninja will get better as customers use it, making them more productive in their day-to-day life.
