Importance of Partnering with Industries
Companies emerging from Silicon Valley often attempt to automate various industries without fully understanding or respecting their complexities. It's crucial to create partnerships with these industries to ensure that technology solutions are not only innovative but also compatible with existing practices. Emphasizing a collaborative approach can significantly contribute to a company’s success by aligning technology with actual industry needs.
