Making Technology Choices That Last
Manage episode 515693750 series 3548342
Avoiding shiny object syndrome, encouraging curiosity, and building a system for smart adoption
Every few years, a new wave of technology arrives promising to change everything. Right now, it’s generative AI, but it wasn’t long ago that we were saying the same thing about mobile, cloud, or Web3.
In this episode, Kevin Goldsmith reflects on how leaders can navigate emerging technologies without falling for the hype. Drawing from decades of experience adopting everything from public cloud to AI tooling, he shares how to evaluate what’s worth your team’s attention and when to wait.
Kevin outlines a practical framework for making technology decisions that stick: discover → experiment → evaluate → adopt deliberately. He also explores how to guide both the eager early adopters and the skeptical veterans on your team, turning curiosity into a disciplined system for learning and innovation.
