TODD TAKES Balance Priorities with Peer Insights
Technology adoption works best when you strike a balance—focus first on your company’s top priorities and real-world issues in the field, but also keep an eye on what your peers are investing in. That outside perspective helps validate your roadmap without getting lost in “keeping up with the Joneses.”
Successful adoption isn’t about rolling out new tech—it’s about communicating why it matters to each stakeholder. What’s in it for the estimator? For the project manager? For the CFO? Tailoring the message and sharing real-world wins helps build buy-in and momentum. Break Down the Silos
Data silos are the enemy of agility. Integrating systems between the back office and the field ensures the right people get the right insights at the right time. When information flows, teams can spot issues early, collaborate better, and ultimately improve profitability.
