Evaluating new enterprise technologies without a technology and innovation scouting platform is not easy. For every problem you identify, you must discover, vet, and implement the one technology out of many that best solves it. To do so, you and your team must spend a substantial amount of time and resources weeding through dozens — or even hundreds— of seemingly viable products and ideas. The biggest challenges when selecting the right technology yourself are:
Must dedicate a lot of time to research new technologies when resources are already stretched thin
Must accurately evaluate the 50,000+ enterprise-ready startups on the market using limited data.
Must rely on external analysts who may have a vested interest in promoting certain products over others.
Get out of individual spreadsheets and break down innovation silos to ensure cross-functional teams are aligned.
If you're a Senior IT Executive, Technology Scout, Innovation Leader, work in Corporate Venture - or are otherwise responsible for business technology transformation - then you know how challenging it is to deliver wins year after year. Our 7-step checklist can help you avoid common pitfalls of the technology scouting and startup evaluation process so you can be successful at delivering wins.
