Best Practices on External Technology Scouting

• Know what you are looking for • Clearly define what’s strategic and what’s out of scope • Understand financial impact of the technology on your

customer

• Become a learning organization. • You don’t even know what you don’t know when you

first pick up the telephone to make your first call…

• Ensure expectations are set when opening dialog.
