#217 – Common Pitfalls that Prevent New Technology Implementation

Improving transportation requires more than developing new technology. That technology must be applied in the real-world, at scale, to make an impact. Here are some of the most common pitfalls that trip up some of the best attempts to improve our transportation ecosystem: Missing the implementation phase (building the product, building the company, and building the ecosystem) Developing a technology that doesn’t really solve a need Misunderstanding the structure and decision-making criteria for your target customers Underestimating the time required to make your change Waiting too long think about manufacturing Not taking the right approach to manufacturing Failing to realize the importance of culture and regulatory support for your solution Trying to innovate across too many dimensions Links: Show notes: http://brandonbartneck.com/futureofmobility/implementationpitfalls Edison Manufacturing Exchange: https://brandonbartneck.substack.com/publish/home\ Future of Mobility: The Future of Mobility podcast is focused on the development and implementation of safe, sustainable, effective, and accessible mobility solutions, with a spotlight on the people and technology advancing these fields.

Om Podcasten

Focused on the people, products, and companies that are creating a better tomorrow, often in the transportation and manufacturing sectors. This show was previously called the Future of Mobility podcast. I aim to have real, human conversations to explore what these leaders and innovators are doing, why and how they’re doing it, and what we can learn from their experiences. If you care about making an impact then this show might be for you. Topics include manufacturing, production, assembly, autonomous driving, electric vehicles, hydrogen and fuel cells, impact, leadership, and more.
