Tech for Non-Techies

144. When tech destroys value


Listen Later

Some technologies lose businesses money and put off their customers. So why do businesses use them?

The technical term is shiny object syndrome!

We waste money and make bad decisions when we forget that technology is a tool, not an end in itself.

The role of a true Digital Leader is to discern when tech creates value and when it doesn't.

This podcast episode will help you do that.

You will learn:

  • A key question to ask when considering a new technology
  • A case study of when tech loses bars and restaurants money
Demystify Digital - tech masterclass for business leaders
