Decades ago, IT was about getting computers to turn on, copiers to work, anti-virus software installed, and phone lines connected. Today? There can be no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" solution... Because there are countless ways technology can drive a business forward. And every company deserves an approach customized for its unique goals.

Communication requires human beings. Technology can help these humans... But the mere presence of a fancy tech stack doesn't mean we're communicating. Or communicating well. No matter which new apps come along, human connection and relationship will always be at the centerpiece of business.

6-figure projects get scrapped all the time. Not because the tech doesn't "work"... But simply because no one actually ends up using it. Adoption is the whole project.

If our tech stack is growing, but our productivity isn't... There might be a problem. More often than not, complexity hurts efficiency. Additional software isn't always the answer.

Two startling numbers about ransomware: 59% of companies have been hit by ransomware. And the average cost of a breach? $4.88 million. Most of these companies had basic security in place... Which means that the difference between surviving an attack and getting shut down? It's all about preparation: Incident response plans. Backups that actually work. Teams that know what to do when the alarm goes off. These basic steps make a huge difference.

Demos are great. But nothing beats actually turning a tool on.

If you want to innovate... But don't have millions of dollars to waste? Don't worry about being first. Watch the people going first... And implement the stuff that's working best for them.
