Technology as we all know is the advancement of our day to day way of living with more use of the knowledge we acquire to co-exist in a technologically growing world.
Many people ignore the fact that the world we are now living in ponds around the era of technology. Simple things in business and general life like office automation, electronic filling, email, e-banking and social media are one of the many terms we are accustomed to in business today, but do we really understand them fully, to take advantage of them for the growth of business,? or is it the other way around.
At executive business level it is wise to understand how to best improve business using technology. Staff in organizations should be well equipped in understanding the full, correct and consistent use of the technology at their disposal wherever they operate from. Business technology is often undermined by those who don’t or may not have a clue and never pay attention to all the full capabilities of the machinery they have to maximize on business profits, expansion, business confidence, service delivery and customer returns.
There is a tendency to ignore what technology can do for your business. Below I am going to highlight a few important objectives in business technology to business executives, and the ways to create excellence on how business is done on a day to day basis.
Staff training to all departments, is an organizations basic and most important necessity, differently inline with core position handling and departmental differentiation such as Public Relations, Marketing, Advertising, Accounts, Business Development, Managing , CEO executives duties, Secretary, Receptionist, Clerks, Data capture's, Creative Designer, Production Manager, Designers, Bankers, Human Resources, Information Technology and Project Management just to name a few.
Many might be wondering what I am trying to put across. In a nutshell, business and technology growth with in an organization lead to great success and businesses soar to greater heights through the use of proper business technology methods. A good example of technology ignorance in business is simply the use of internet and email. You will find that 65% of internet and email users in some business set ups do not have enough extensive knowledge of internet and email. Most users are of the idea that the two are the same which they are not.
This is why at times businesses seem to fail to make proper and decisive decisions on how to introduce or implement new technological marketing, selling and advertising ideas and strategies that are in line with technology. I pose a question to all businesses who use technological materials to actually carry out their work. Are you fully equipped technologically to drive your business to success in line with the technology at your disposal? Think about it for a second, if so, then success is at your doorstep. If not, do not worry get ready to become the best technology user in your business? How?
• Take advantage of any type of seminars and workshops on new technology that may be of good benefit to your organization
• Take time to get your staff internal & external seminars according to what they do within your business e.g. receptionists, secretaries,clerks, accountants, designers e.t.c
• Lead appropriately in the use of technology for business
• Understand the benefits of the technology you need first for your business
• Consult the right professionals for you to get the right results
• Update yourself when ever necessary to keep abreast with any change in any of the technological tools or equipment you might be using.
