Today I had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion titled: “Driving Innovation: Introducing New Tech Into a Company” , along with Brian Collins, a former Disney Imagineer and Global Innovation Consultant and founder of the Brainstorm Institute. The event was hosted by Mursion, a pioneering force in immersive technology tailored for experiential learning. Brian introduced me to Mursion a month or so ago and I had the privilege of gaining firsthand experience with Mursion’s immersive platform, via a demo focusing on diversity and inclusion training. I introduced Musion to my learning and development partners as a potential option for leadership training, which was one of our organizational goals.
In today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, innovation is the key to staying ahead of the curve. At the heart of driving innovation lies the concept of having the right tools for the right job in your toolbox. However, bringing new technologies into a company can present its own set of challenges.
During today’s panel, Brian and I explored the fundamental question of where to begin when introducing new technologies. From identifying current pain points to envisioning how emerging technologies can offer innovative solutions, the process starts with a clear understanding of your company’s policies, budgets and approval processes. Finding solutions is often the easy part, whereas implementation requires more than just sharing that you found a tool; it requires being an evangelist who can articulate the value proposition of the new platform and highlight its potential to drive tangible results and return on investment. By showcasing real-world examples and success stories, you can build a compelling case for adoption and garner support from key decision-makers. I’ve found that having key stakeholders experience a technology first-hand helps to garner support.
By choosing the right tools, effectively communicating their value, and navigating internal processes, you can unlock the full potential of new technologies and drive innovation!
