Assignment: Emerging Technologies
Steps to Success
Overview
The Emerging Technology course examines theories of technology diffusion and adoption, identifies the importance of conducting needs analyses prior to investigating technology solutions, evaluates the benefits of technology adoption, investigates the potential outcomes of implementing technological solutions, provides students the means to evaluate technologies, stresses the importance of fitting technology to the organization, analyzes barriers to technology adoption, and examines strategies for overcoming said barriers. This course supports the assessment for C850. The course covers two competencies and represents two competency units.
Task:
Propose an emerging technology solution that will benefit the organization in the case study. You will need to discuss the impacts of this technology within the context of the organization.
A. Write a response (e.g., proposal, letter) to the TechFite adoption plan proposal by doing the following (each section below should be a section in your paper):
a. Summarize an organizational need in the case study, including the scope of the need. (What is the organization asking for and why are the asking for it? Summarize the case study)
b. Propose an emerging technology solution to address the organizational need from the case study. Provide justification that classifies this technology as emerging. (Will this new technology solve the problem TechFite is currently experiencing?).
Remember you have to research and find an emerging technology as well as find a vendor that provides it. You cannot just name the technology, you have to find a supporting vendor/provider for it.
c. Outline an adoption process for the technology solution you plan to implement, using the risks and benefits of early adoption versus the risks and benefits of later adoption to justify your adoption timing. (Gartner STREET process from uCertify materials)
d. Describe potential positive and negative effects your technology solution could have on the people and current processes in the organization, providing examples for how to address any negative effects. (also what are the risks of using this new technology, if any?)
e. Compare your technology solution to similar existing technology solutions, including details that qualify how your chosen technology better supports the organization's mission, goals, and vision. (there may be other technology options out there for this scenario, but what makes yours different and better?)
f. Propose methods for measuring the impact of the technology, including specific metrics that would support whether the adoption is successful or unsuccessful (how are you going to determine if the technology is successful or a failure? What period of time are you going to test your technology?) What steps are you going to take if it is a failure? What's the fallback plan?
g. Summarize the information in the paper to close out your proposal.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also includes a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
3. Also include a reference page. The Citations and references should follow APA format. The reference page is not included in the required page length.
