The right idea might come at the wrong time. Here’s why the most technologically advanced solution might not always be the right one.

As engineering folks, we’re often tempted to push the most forward-thinking, technologically advanced solutions to our problems. But sometimes, the simpler, well-established solutions can be the most effective.

Don’t get me wrong – new, cutting-edge ideas are great. But what if people – including your staff, customers, and senior leaders – aren’t ready to take advantage of them? They might provide a perfect solution in a year, two years, ten years… but if you’re too early, that’s the same as being wrong.
