Your team is split on innovation vs. tradition in quality control. How do you find the right balance?

The common misconception between modern and traditional techniques is that they are usually considered as opposites whereas they should be regarded as supporters of each other. By changing this narrative a company can improve its efficiency. When modern methods and traditional methods are harmoniously woven into each other, they will increase the efficiency of the company drastically. For example, a person can review data manually in a data set and might get lost if the data set includes hundreds of rows whereas if you use power query it will be much easier to review the data. However, if the employee doesn't know how to use the tool, it might cause more problems than benefits. Thus, while introducing modern methods one should be careful.
