Deciding where to invest in emerging technologies requires a balance of strategic vision and practical analysis. Start by aligning potential investments with your organization’s goals and challenges—focus on technologies that can drive measurable impact in critical areas. Next, analyze market trends and peer strategies to identify proven applications while keeping an eye on disruptive innovations. Pilot projects can help validate assumptions and mitigate risks. Finally, involve cross-functional teams to ensure a holistic view of the investment's impact and maintain flexibility to adapt as the technology evolves. The goal is not just to adopt technology but to enable meaningful transformation.

I believe in the simple paradigm that in "Digital Transformation" Transformation part refers to transformation of people to accept digital technology. If people transformation is the ultimate aim, then focusing on what people will people do differently after the technology has been adopted, should be the success metric to guide investment and measure of actual change in behavior be the ROI metric. If after making the investment in time and money, there is no predefined people change success metric to show for it, then i would say, that's a low ROI.
