Cautious/Follower

You always look before you leap! That’s one of the advantages to the Cautious / Follower technology personality. Your kind of company is interested in ideas and concepts with known results, good or bad. That greatly reduces the risk factor.

However, your company may adapt to change extremely slowly, viewing technology as merely a tool to perform core competencies. While not wanting to become obsolete, you prefer to wait until all the “bugs” have been ironed out and the technology has been widely accepted by the mainstream.

Personality Strengths
• Your business is very predictable overall
• Easy to predict the ideas and concepts that will be accepted
• Your company choices are widely accepted
• Your risk factor is low
• Your not exposed to innovation risks
• Your reduced complexity provides more stability

Personality Limiters
• Your business is hesitant to entertain ideas that aren’t highly predictable
• You may miss out on opportunities
• Your company adapts to change extremely slowly
• You don’t capitalize on innovation advantages
• You run the risk of missing out on ideas and concepts that would provide ROI
