New Innovations Reshaping Business
From crypto and drones to ambient computing and genomics breakthroughs, a slew of exciting “emerging technologies” promises to reshape industries in the years ahead. These cutting-edge innovations, also called “new technologies”, introduce novel functionalities, unprecedented applications and new value-creation opportunities across sectors if strategically harnessed.
Global spending on adopting emerging technologies is projected to exceed a staggering $2 trillion by 2025 as solutions encompassing Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and more permeate enterprises seeking competitive advantages by revamping operations using modern technological capabilities.
Promising use cases now abound in domains as diverse as banking, manufacturing, retail and healthcare, where early adopters of these new capabilities gain measurable productivity, efficiency and customer experience upside compared to firms relying solely on legacy systems unable to respond in an age-demanding digitally-enabled agility.
The Potential and The Perils
While harnessing “the newest technologies” inflates ROIs, ill-informed adoption minus contextual grounding also exposes enterprises to elevated risks of failure, engulfing those venturing without adequate capabilities, gauging use viability across core operations or alignment to customer priorities.
Thorough evaluation of which “emerging digital solutions” merit pilots based on business functional objectives, followed by iterative experiment design, stays crucial before committing to extensive budgets towards large-scale deployment ambitions. This aspect of implementation is where external experts bridging deep technology assimilation experience and business function visibility assume value in helping leaders navigate rational adoption by answering “What are some new technologies worth exploring across our portfolios now?” framed against measurable impact metrics, uplifting customer stickiness or operations efficiency gains over definitive timelines and realizing break-even goals responsibly.
The age also demands going beyond narrow CIO mandates when planning strategic “technology and business” integrations. Leaders must proactively assess emerging solution viability spanning customer-facing interface modernization potential, supply chain resilience functionality upgrades, regulatory compliance automation possibilities, and new data monetization opportunities holistically before getting swayed by “latest technological advancements” hype alone without factoring in ground realities, enterprise maturity, budget rationalization and change adoption bandwidths suiting unique contexts beyond one-size-fits-all fads! Project Assessment and Budgeting is where “Business Technology Consulting” specialists emerge as indispensable allies aiding informed projections.
How Technology Consultants Guide Adoption
Partnering with multifaceted management consulting companies that offer dedicated “emerging technology consulting” practices helps in multiple ways:
- Strategic Planning: Advisors co-craft business-aligned technology roadmaps factoring in enterprise priorities, prevailing legacy health, talent availability, and change adoption appetite across target functions where use case viability discussions involve envisioning emerging tech capabilities, synergizing operational improvements, or customer value enhancement goals over definitive timeline commitments allo¬cating capital expenditure prudently.
- Solution Selection: Consultants guide rational technology procurement decisions leveraging extensive product/platform ecosystem familiarity and vendor-independent guidance, assessing strengths suiting unique needs while securely accommodating integration requirements and harmonizing proposed solutions with existing IT environments. Advisors also structure pilot testing, iterative feedback loops, incorporation, and availability SLAs, factoring in long-term ownership costs.
- Tailored Implementations: Collaborating with advisors who offer customized deployment approaches ensuring seamless emerging technology program execution – spanning on-premise, cloud-enabled, or end-to-end managed services model – leveraging extensive proficiency gained implementing similar solutions globally, provides access to proven methodologies, accelerators and frameworks addressing standard requirements, minimizing teething issues. Their global talent pool also allows staffing flexibility as needed.
- Business Case Realization: Tracking emerging technology investments progress through appropriate success metrics identification, impact validation frameworks structuring and continuous improvement identification, tuning adoption stages till initiatives hit predetermined ROI goals, besides cementing customer delight or efficiency KPIs uplift forms critical consultants role warranting investments sustained over most extended term responsibly.
The Road Ahead
As global business environments get disrupted continuously by wide innovations spanning Web 3.0, Metaverse, Ambient Computing, Autonomous Mobility, Neo Banking and more – enterprises must continue harnessing such “emerging technologies examples” through prudent consulting partnerships balancing technology leadership goals with risk mitigation imperatives for sustaining market positions responsibly.
Well-aligned emerging technology adoption support brings specialized competencies, vendor-agnostic perspectives and proven methodologies, assuring enterprises minimize business model disruptions from innovations entry responsibly while maximizing value creations, leveraging such capabilities firsthand, responsibly transforming operations or customer engagement for new age demands and suiting unique needs suitably.
