Can yours? The world has an unrelenting demand for technology across all spheres of interaction. It’s how we’re expected to innovate, connect and grow. With this constant turnover in tech, how can you stay on top of what you and your business need to thrive?
Let’s look at a few ways to stay on top of tech trends.
- GET THE RESEARCH REPORTS
There are entire companies dedicating to tracking, rating and curating the latest and greatest in tech. Subscribe to leaders in this field, like ThoughtWorks , TechRadar or Info Tech and get all the tech updates in one go.
- SUBSCRIBE FOR FEATURE ALERTS
Whenever a tech service provider offers you a chance to get alerts for new features, check that box! Tech giants like Google, Apple, Microsoft and Amazon frequently roll out new features that can offer experiences ranging from novelty to game-changer. But whichever the case, these features are a good barometer for what innovations are being demanded and developed- delivered directly to your inbox.
- BUILD A TECH DASHBOARD
Beyond your social media platforms, there are several websites and apps designed to curate all the headlines and updates on selected topics within a single, easy-to-access space. Websites/ Apps like Pocket and Flipboard let you create or review tailored, tech-themed feeds. Not much time? Check out thought-leaders like TechCrunch , The Verge, Techmeme and YouTube channel Two Minute Papers for short, sharp, insightful tech updates as both text and video.
- CONSIDER CONFERENCES & INDUSTRY EVENTS
Wherever possible, get your information in person- literally. Attending conferences delivers not just information, but opportunities to network and interact with leaders in the industry and an energised outlook that can inspire innovation in your own company in a whole new way.
- MAKE IT A TEAM EFFORT
Technology is a titan. Sometimes teamwork is the best approach. Where technology functions as the backbone of your business, assign areas to different key members of the team, and create sharing sessions in person or digitally to grant access across all research areas. Not only does this ease the unrelenting quest for tech updates, but it gives your team another way to stay connected and cohesive.
No matter where you are in the technology game, today is a good day to push yourself to the highest level.
Let’s build a better world together, the tech way.
