Technology Roadmaps
I’m sure we all remember the days when driving somewhere new meant pulling out our handy atlas or writing down all the specific instructions on how to get there before we left on our trips. Now, modern navigation systems are so sophisticated that they talk you through the process, reroute when you make a wrong turn, and tell you exactly what time you’ll arrive. Wouldn’t it be nice if our business roadmaps did the same, helping prevent missteps and avoid hazards? But deciding where to go and how to get there is completely in our own hands.
In this issue of PCB007 Magazine, we discuss technology roadmaps and what they mean for our businesses, providing context to these all-important questions: What is my company’s technology roadmap? Is there anything so epic that it will change my business and/or my industry significantly in the near and distant future? What is driving the changes I will make in my facility? And most importantly, how will I implement this vision and reach the intended destination for my organization?

It was a busy week in the industry. In this installment of my must-reads, we say goodbye to Walt Custer, the man who made PCB data points interesting for the rest of us.
