All organizations in the 21st century must view themselves as a technology company first, no matter their industry, to set the correct mindset and perspective. Your technology system determines how relevant and how quickly information and communication can be processed, which is critical to making the right decisions at the right time.


Episode outline:

1. Every company must see themselves as a technology company first,
2. Automate routine information and reports,
3. Your system must be secure to ensure trust with all stakeholders, and
4. Technology planning must be included in the base budget.
