Welcome to the Ombudsman’s Blog. We're excited to have this forum to share some of what’s been crossing our desks. In this blog, we'll talk about issues relating to Gartner's standards of objectivity and integrity.

Think of the blog as a place to go with questions about our standards and how they relate to our research or any aspect of the Gartner business. You can help us set the agenda by sharing what’s on your mind. We promise to have an open and frank discussion about things like why our policies are the way they are (the reasons make sense – at least to us), which issues keep coming up, and even on occasion admitting when we don’t quite get it right.
