Research update - always be in beta, as an accidental technologist

By Robin Neidorf

Abstract

Fast-moving companies use continuous improvement to fuel success and growth. For information teams, continuous improvement can be challenging and hard to prioritise. Learn new approaches in our "Insights and Actions" report.

It's always in beta.

That's the philosophy of fast-moving companies. Releases of features every month or six weeks. Incremental updates. Sprint developments, with intense activity towards a short-term goal. Relatively quickly one improvement is made, one problem solved. And another. And another.

Our work as information experts needs to follow this same model.

Our current Research Focus, "The accidental technologist - where your expertise meets the new world", addresses the strain continuous improvement places on information teams.

Request our "Insights and Actions" report to learn:

• The resilience you gain by adopting an "accidental technologist" mindset
• How to prioritise technology in your strategic planning, without losing sight of core information skills
• Tips on surmounting the learning curve of new technologies.
