Craig Roth is research vice president at Gartner Inc. focused on digital workplace trends, messaging, products, segmentation and best practices. This includes cloud office suites, collaboration tools, content services, and how they are dependent on digital dexterity and digital business trends. He researches how knowledge workers get their jobs done today and how they are likely to get them done in the future (the future of work). He speaks to a wide range of general managers, technology CEOs, product marketing, and product managers, service providers, and IT leaders on how to capture the productivity that new ways of work have to offer.

Mr. Roth is the creator of Gartner's Digital Dexterity Index, a scoring model for showing where workers ready for new ways of working are more likely to be found by country, industry, age grouping, and company size. This index helps vendors prioritize sales and marketing efforts and helps companies and agencies to assess their workforce's openness to changing how they work against benchmarks. He has also engaged in special research projects around Enterprise Attention Management (a response to information overload) and how AI and automation will impact the future of work.
