Frequently there is a
temptation to accept "more of the same" technology because acceptance
within the organization will likely be easier. Identifying, evaluating
and selecting major new technology can, traditionally, take a long time.
Breakthrough results will more likely be achieved through different
technology, but perhaps at a greater risk that has to be defined. Also,
greater effort has to be expended in the early design phase and
operational teething trouble can be expected. Therefore a strategic
approach and thorough scrutiny is required in a structured manner.
Piloting will likely be required. Subsequently, team building and
continuity will be necessary. |
