Value Creation Technology: A Process for Minimizing Risk & Maximizing Return on Emerging Technology

Lessons from the Trenches with Emerging Technology

Everyone from genealogy enthusiasts to amateur sports fans is enamored with the vast capabilities of smart phones and the cloud. Executives and industry peers look to technologists to harness those capabilities for the business.

How do you meet this challenge in a way that minimizes risk and maximizes return for the business? You don’t want to be the point person for a technology initiative that fails. Nor do you want to put your own job at risk. With your day-to-day responsibilities, you have only a sliver of time to figure this out.

Jeff Eiben, CEO of River Point Technology, is passionate about the power of technology to change the game and elevate businesses over competitors. In this book, he shares the Value Creation Technology Process, a structured path that allows you to fail fast or generate a small win with a new technology. When you fail small, it’s no big deal. When you win, you go for another small win. A series of wins creates viral interest and support throughout the organization. This dramatically increases your chances of successfully scaling the technology within the existing culture and resources of the organization. That path, too, is addressed in the process.
