Why Technology is so important to business

This week I got interviewed on the radio by Marie Daniels of Meoutloud! Next week I’ll be interviewing Jo Smith about how she works with Service Firms.

Why Technology is so important to business

Technology can be a very important element of business. Not only it does provide a business multiple ways of communicating with potential clients, but it can also automate a lot of the processes involved in running a business. But technology can also be intimidating, because of the time factor involved in learning it and also the amount of perceived work involved. On top of that a lot of the interfaces for technology aren’t user friendly, which means it can take a while to learn how to use the technology.

Nonetheless, it’s much harder to run a business without some technology. So what do you do when you feel like you don’t have time to learn new technology AND run your business? You can hire someone, but if it’s technology you need to learn that option becomes much less viable. Under those circumstances taking a class can help, or buying a book which explains how to use the technology, but you still need to make time to learn it. However, it can be worth your time, if the payoff down the line is that you can use the technology to automate some of your systems and processes for doing business.

When I teach classes on technology my goal is to show people how to automate technology so they don’t need to spend a lot of time on it. I think the best technology is the kind of technology that allows you to actually live your life, while it takes care of some of what you would otherwise need to do. If you approach technology in that way it doesn’t have to be as intimidating and can ultimately be very rewarding.
