Evaluating Your Technology Toolbox

The Analytical Wavelength

What technology do you use at work? How well does it work for you? And what tech are you hoping and praying will land on your lab bench or computer one day?

Technology scouting is the process of identifying gaps in a business that can be filled with new tech. Maybe it's the manual copying-and-pasting of data that could be automated. Maybe it's a cool experiment that could be done with a new instrument. Whatever the gap, finding a good solution requires a thought-through approach. How should you approach tech scouting to get the best possible outcome for your work and your organization?
