How do you keep up with a technology that changes every month?

A new model every month, tools that come and go, announcements that make what you have just chosen obsolete. Keeping up with this pace is exhausting, and gives the feeling that every decision will be out of date before it is applied.

Yet not everything changes at the same speed. Models and tools evolve fast. Your processes, your data, your decision criteria and your customers’ needs evolve slowly. A well-designed architecture separates the two: what makes your value stays stable, and the technical part can be replaced when a better option appears, without rebuilding everything.

• Chasing every new development costs more than it brings.Every change of tool resets the teams’ learning to zero.
• For everyday uses, the gaps between models are narrowing.This month’s best is often only slightly better than last month’s.
• Rigid architectures prevent you from benefiting from progress.When changing model means redoing everything, you stay with the old one.

1. 01Entrust technology watch to one person who sums up what matters for your uses.
2. 02Keep, for each use, a test set that lets you compare a new model quickly.
3. 03Review your technical choices at fixed dates, twice a year for example, rather than at every announcement.

We help build uses that survive a change of model.
