You're the CIO of a scaling tech company. Every day, your inbox is overflowing with AI-powered this, automated that. Everyone claims to have the solution. Promising faster insights or bulletproof security. But while the promises multiply, your budget doesn’t. How do you know what’s worth your time and what actually moves the needle for your business?
Introducing the Galson Technology Prioritization Index (TPI). Our proprietary tool for technology adoption and prioritization.
The TPI is A Simple Tool to Cut Through Complexity
The TPI is a decision-making framework developed by Galson Research to help business and technology leaders assess, rank, and prioritize new technologies based on strategic value, operational fit, and timing. It helps answer a crucial question:
“Is this technology right for us right now?”
Instead of defaulting to your gut instinct, hype cycles, or vendor urgency, the TPI gives you a clear structure to evaluate technologies against your business context.
How It Works
The TPI uses a scoring system across seven weighted dimensions:
- Proven Use Cases
- Cost Effectiveness & ROI
- Ease of Use & Integration
- Security & Compliance
- Maturity & Ecosystem
- Market Sentiment
- Adoption Growth
Why It Matters
The TPI isn’t about saying no to innovation. It’s about saying yes to the right things at the right time.
Our clients use the Index to:
- Filter through dozens of competing tech proposals
- Build internal consensus across departments
- Defend budget decisions to boards and stakeholders
- Focus teams on what drives value, not just what’s shiny
What Makes It Different
Many frameworks focus solely on ROI or technical feasibility. The TPI goes further by integrating organizational capacity and urgency into the equation. That’s especially useful for fast-moving teams who want to be bold.
It’s also built for flexibility. You can use it for a quarterly review, a one-off investment decision, or as a recurring part of your digital strategy playbook.
