Some technologies lose businesses money and put off their customers. So why do businesses use them?

The technical term is shiny object syndrome! We waste money and make bad decisions when we forget that technology is a tool, not an end in itself,.

The role of a true Digital Leader is to discern when tech creates value and when it doesn't.

This podcast episode will help you do that.
