It is a new year! We
hope that everyone is as excited for 2019 as we are here at Colden
Company. The new year often brings new
resolutions both personally and professionally.
I am going to exercise more in 2019, I promise! On the professional side, everyone wants to
take steps to improve at work and improve business. We have all heard the expression that the
definition of insanity is doing things the same way and expecting different
results. Why not try something that is
proven to make businesses more successful?
Become a digital leader in your field. According to the Harvard Business
Review, companies
that embrace technology outperform those that lag behind by a
considerable margin. There are several technology areas that leaders in their
respective verticals are taking advantage of.
We have talked extensively about
the statistics showing that mobile devices are outselling traditional desktops
as more and more of the workforce is going mobile. Get that data back and forth
from the field in a more timely and accurate way.
The ability to get information to all
of your team quickly and accurately is a competitive advantage. Companies that
have mastered this can make decisions more quickly and with the proper input are
more nimbly than its competitors.
Information in the cloud is more
easily accessible in many cases to those require it. Cloud solutions are often
more scalable (both up and down) allowing businesses to be flexible.
If your business is not up to date
on data security, your business is at risk.
The threat of attacks like Business Email Compromise attacks are real
and can devastate your business. Successful businesses are taking steps to
protect themselves.
Being a digital leader is not easy. It requires a commitment of both effort and time. Time is not something that most people have an excess of these days. Choosing the right partners can go a long way to making sure you have the right information. We recommend having a technology team that consists of key personnel inside your organization and trusted technology advisers that can offer insights into technology solutions that might fit your business needs. Your business leaders should drive the conversation. They know the industry and the business and the technology advisors role is to compliment the vision with the right technology.
