What can your business do with more in-house technical skill?
WAIT!
Before you answer, take a few minutes to really think about it…
- Which processes currently requiring your team’s time can be automated?
- How much money can you save by developing or managing tech heavy projects yourself?
- What could you do to improve your product or workflows with more in-house technical capabilities?
- How many meetings can be avoided if everyone understood fundamental digital knowledge?
Okay. Again, what can your business do with more in-house technical skill?
