Do you need help & advice with New Technology?
You know that feeling when new technology just doesn’t work the way it’s supposed to? It’s incredibly frustrating, especially when you’re just trying to get something simple done, like recording a video, only to have some random pop-up appear. That’s the reality with new tech – it often goes wrong. It’s not that older tech was necessarily better, but the really annoying bugs have usually been ironed out by now.
When you’re using something new, expect hiccups. Learning to use a new tool takes time, and it won’t be perfect straight away. Trying to skip this learning phase just won’t work. It’s a natural part of the process.
Key Takeaways
- New technology comes with bugs and a learning curve; accept it as part of the process.
- Businesses need to consider cyber compliance and AI integration carefully.
- Industries like construction and law are already seeing big changes from tech like digital twins and AI.
- Data governance is critical – uncontrolled data access can lead to serious issues.
- AI needs clear boundaries regarding spending and data security.
Is Your Business Ready For The Tech Shift?
Are you actively managing cyber compliance and artificial intelligence in your business? Are these technologies actually helping you move forward, or are you still stuck with paper-based systems? It’s worth thinking about how your business will need to adapt over the next 18 months as technology keeps changing.
How Different Industries Are Adapting
Even if you’re in a field like construction, you might think tech changes don’t affect you much. But look at things like digital twins and BIM (Building Information Modelling). These technologies are allowing people to achieve more with fewer resources. The goal is to avoid trying to build something that’s physically impossible, and these tools can help with that.
For lawyers, AI can generate a lot of documents quickly. But is it good? Is it accurate? Are there mistakes? Does it actually follow the law? These are important questions. If an AI compares two documents, it might seem brilliant, but what does it miss? And how are you managing your data governance?
The Dangers Of Uncontrolled Data
Here’s a scenario to consider: can someone in your organisation easily get everyone’s payroll information and mobile numbers, perhaps in a simple spreadsheet? If you don’t have control over your data, that’s exactly what could happen. This is especially relevant with AI. Are you giving it unlimited control or financial freedom? How are you making sure the data you feed it remains secure?
These might seem like simple questions, but they require careful thought and planning. The two extremes – completely banning new tech or letting people do whatever they want with it – aren’t going to work. Finding a middle ground is key.
So, these are just a few things to think about. What are your thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments.
