The Problem:

Six Steps

  1. A system to know what’s out there. The tech landscape changes rapidly. (Consider the hundreds of insurtechs participating in incubators and accelerators right now, pecking on the inside of their shell like little chicks.)
    1. You need a routine way to scan what’s out there now. Let your buying process start with intelligence. Not with the first inbound call from a friendly sales rep.
    2. Industry sources
    3. RSS feed
    4. Delegate research
  2. A system to categorize the multitude of tech offerings. You need to start making sense of it. A way to organize it.
  3. A system to evaluate and compare vendors. Once you’ve identified problems you want solved, discover who claims to solve it. Create criteria to guide your decision:
  4. A system to select a solution. The natural extension of step 3 is to buy.
  5. A system to adopt new tech. If you thought buying was a demanding process, it was really just the ticket to the game. The real challenge is installing it. And that doesn’t merely mean installing it on your computers.
  6. A system to gain optimal mastery. The first 20% - the easy features - often deliver tangible results.
