9-6: Technical Strategy
Building agile Technology Radars and ruthlessly optimizing the Build vs Buy calculus.
🎯 What You'll Learn
- ✓ Assess core differentiators
- ✓ Construct a localized Tech Radar
- ✓ Defend vendor adoption
The Strategic Core
An engineering org has a finite amount of innovation tokens to spend. Trying to innovate on authentication, container orchestration, logging, and your core SaaS product simultaneously results in mediocrity across the board.
Build ONLY what differentiates your company. Buy everything else. If you are an AI accounting firm, building a custom billing engine is a waste of engineering capital. Buy Stripe. Focus the engineers strictly on the AI accounting models.
A CTO's primary job is fiercely protecting the engineering team from building commodity components.
A conceptual unit of deep architectural focus.
Audit your internal services for commodity replacements.
