Technology is an opportunity not a threat

by Adam L Stanley | Jul 8, 2019 | Technology

Someone asked me to explain what I meant when I tell people I view technology as an opportunity but not a “disruption.” Thought I would share with you as well.

I don’t think of technology from the perspective of some threat of disruption. I view it as a means to drive value for clients. The underlying message is “we are not scared”, which drives stupid behaviors. But “we are not stupid” so we focus on our clients and technology.

I argue that if Blockbuster or Kodak REALLY focused on meeting their clients needs, they would still be in business. Lead with what your client needs, trying to get really good at that such that you know before they do what they really need. Then make sure you have tech that can help you more readily meet those needs.

My religion, really, and why I have never been much for chasing shiny red balls.

Be well. Lead on.
