    LinkedIn

    t can be very difficult to put a number on the financial benefits of emerging technologies such as intelligent automation, blockchain, Web 3.0 or AI.

    The fact that few definitive independent research studies exist to conclusively evidence the financial benefits of ‘new’ technology makes it difficult for a technology leader to sell emerging technology to their CFO.

    Whilst CFOs are willing to take a leap of faith to help maximise business value they are often unwilling to jump…

    t can be very difficult to put a number on the financial benefits of emerging technologies such as intelligent automation, blockchain, Web 3.0 or AI.

    The fact that few definitive independent research studies exist to conclusively evidence the financial benefits of ‘new’ technology makes it difficult for a technology leader to sell emerging technology to their CFO.

    Whilst CFOs are willing to take a leap of faith to help maximise business value they are often unwilling to jump into a deep, dark, bottomless 'try this amazing new emerging technology' expense pit. But when both IT and finance work together to help transform a business, magic can happen.

    So why do so many technology and finance teams fail to communicate effectively and end up killing each other (metaphorically speaking of course) rather of working together to drive new benefit from cutting edge, emerging technologies?

    Whilst mass consumer understanding of the tech is not yet there a new highly interactive iteration of the internet is being readied.

    In this virtual world, we interact with one and another as avatars, with our imagination the only limit.

    This new highly interactive and immersive Web 3.0 may have massive implications for society.

    When it's complete, our physical reality may merge with the digital universe.

    Think digital twin of everything that we know and love today.

    But whether we will use the #Metaverse any time soon will depend on technology advances, its perceived usefulness, affordability and ultimately user acceptance.

    Journeying into unknown realms has excited and delighted generations of intrepid explores for untold generations.

    It ignites and excites our imagination, accelerates our creativity, and propels innovation and investment like nothing else.

    Large enterprises, that hope to prosper in the #Metaverse tomorrow, are rushing in and exploring its frontiers today.

    Whilst mass consumer understanding of the tech is not yet there a new highly interactive iteration of the internet is being readied.

    Creating alternate digital realities where people work, play, and socialize seems like the obvious choice for today’s technology companies.

    Despite the fact that Agile took off in software development circles in the 2000s, and dozens of books have been written about Agile over the past two decades, if you asked a random group of people what ‘Agile’ is, then you will inevitably get very different answers.

For example, paired programming (shared learning); visual management systems and workspaces (transparency); retrospectives (reflect and improve); co-location (or rather ‘glo-cation’ global location, rapid release and iteration planning (speed to market); test-driven development (small bets, not betting the firm); evolutionary design (release waves of value), etc.
