What are "Technology Selection Cycles“?

  • Requirements gathering:  Determining what the organization needs

  • Market research:  Identifying potential solutions

  • Vendor evaluation:  Assessing different options

  • Proof of concept:  Testing solutions in a limited environment

  • Decision-making:  Final selection and approval process

  • Contract negotiation:  Finalizing terms with the chosen vendor

Why are Technology Selection Cycles problematic?

  • Lengthy:  Often taking 6-12 months for significant technology decisions

  • Resource-intensive:  Requiring input from multiple departments

  • Politically complex:  Involving competing stakeholder priorities

  • Vulnerable to vendor influence:  Often swayed by marketing rather than actual fit

  • Prone to analysis paralysis:  Teams get stuck comparing options endlessly

Dynamical reduces Tech Selection  Cycles by 40-60%

  • Pre-filtered options:  Advisors immediately narrow the field based on their knowledge of the market and the client's specific needs

  • Requirements acceleration:  Structured frameworks help quickly identify and prioritize true requirements versus "nice-to-haves"

  • Vendor insight:  Advisors bring real-world implementation experience with various vendors, cutting through marketing claims

  • Decision framework:  Structured decision-making processes prevent delays from consensus-building or political considerations

  • Confidence factor:  Executive sponsors move forward more quickly when backed by expert validation
