It’s perhaps never been more evident that rapid and customer-focused growth is powered by emerging technology. Yet, getting adequate investment in emerging technologies can be a challenge, given that business executives and finance teams may not yet fully understand (or worse, misunderstand) the business value of certain technologies. To ensure buy-in and to address any executive concerns up front, technology leaders should identify the right use cases and quantifies potential benefits and costs as well as future opportunities that emerging technologies will deliver to the organization and are aligned to the overall business strategy.
