An emerging technology heat map can be a valuable tool to illuminate the various emerging and disruptive technologies on your organization’s radar. When sourced internally across your organization’s various divisions and departments, it can serve as a rapid assessment tool to help reveal and set priorities as well as areas for further collaboration and coordination.
The heat map can help uncover synergies across divisions and departments where you might be able to leverage investments, projects, resources and/or tools. It’s also important to explore the differences. These may reveal where one group has discovered an opportunity that might work for others or perhaps a niche area or use case only applicable to a single division or department. Either way, the heat map will quicky reveal these similarities and differences and help to further these important discussions. The target audience for these discussions can be division leads themselves, in order to play back the cross-divisional findings, as well as the C-suite to share and capture feedback on these firm-wide priorities.
