Sign into your accountThe 'NOT INVENTED HERE' Philosophy Can Get You in Trouble with Technology!
January 10 2019
I love it when CTOs and technology leaders take pride in their work. They believe they can do anything and many times they are absolutely right!
A tech leader with a unique understanding of a company's customer base, coupled with the unique strengths of the organization, are in a great position to create innovation that cannot be built by anybody else.
There are times, though, when technology teams take this philosophy too far. They believe they can build EVERYTHING their company needs. They don't trust or respect third party companies that possess a deep understanding of a particular type of technology solution because it "was not invented here." Because of their ignorance, arrogance, insecurity or budget constraints, some internal technology teams try to build every type of technology, regardless of the skillset of the internal team.
