What is Technical Fluency?
”It wasn't that I didn't know the right answers to be seeking from engineers — I didn't even know the right questions to ask! I'm a sporting goods guy."
Kevin PlankFounder and Executive Chairman, Under Armour
As a non-technical executive, you might have felt a “disconnect” while working with engineers, or while reading about new technological developments.
Becoming tech-fluent will help you close this gap. You will not get there by learning to code.
This will empower you to:
- Strategize technically and be a driver of transformation in your industry, not a passive observer. Use tech for competitive advantage.
- Confidently participate in technical discussions. Ask insightful questions and push back when needed. Intelligently communicate your vision and goals to engineers, and never feel like a “lost” bystander in meetings.
- Understand the big moving parts of technology and how they affect your business — save time, improve margins and increase revenue.
- Get things done 3x faster by quickly getting engineers on the same page as you. No more surprises.
- Sell effectively to technical decision makers. Build real credibility and trust.
- Unleash valuable insights from your background that engineers are probably missing.
- Stay up-to-date with new technology trends and spot threats/opportunities from a mile away.
- Become the go-to person for bridging the tech and non-tech gap in your organization.
