Before you move your business into any changes in technology , you need to look at your employee skills sets. The tendency is to acquire digital technology to drive the business to successful outcomes. There will be discussion around the power of digital innovation as it removes the face to face interactions that analog solutions provided. Digital is marketed as faster, expediating innovation.
There needs to be evaluation of employees and how they fit into potential thought managers, their perception, engagement and motivation. Things that you look at are what skills are shown, cleverness, ingenuity, inquisitive desire to know or learn about something. These are individual traits so the key to success is how they perform as a group. Group behaviour is what we access going forward. The problem solving in the business will come from the investment into the best in the class approach to selecting employee skills sets and how they compliment others in the group situation. You are now in a better position to navigating change in your business/ industry.
I have found in my business that employees picked on skills basis are driven to being better then the mentors around them. There appears a need to improve on benchmarks achieved in the past by previous employee groups.
