Businesses constantly need to adapt to survive…
so technology needs to be adaptive
which is prevented by…
the viciouscircle
The short-term focus of ROI requirements leads to solutions that fail to address the long-term issues
Businesses know they need toinvest in technology to reduce bothoperating costs and time-to-market
To invest in technology businesses need to demonstrate ROI, usually within a tight timeframe
why the vicious circle?
Change is constant…
”Your competitors’ tech is better”
”Everyone’s d
oing this, we m
ust too” ”What are you doing to respond?”
…and change is
messy
”I need a new featu
re to do my job”
The usual options for adapting technology…
issue =disconnect with business;bonus-culture short-termism
issue =rewarded for placing more people
issue =rarely in a position to be change agents
issue =focused on their solutions not yours
…are each barriers to change
