I was shopping for shoes to go with my New Year’s Eve
dress last month. How I love to find cute shoes,
but they need to be comfortable. As I glanced around, I found
myself envious of some of the women around me who seemed to
walk effortlessly in shoes over 2 inches. If your one of those
women – wow! As for me I have to find something a little
lower. I am one of those women that by the end of the night
I’m still on the dance floor but my shoes are
tucked under the table.
I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be comfortable
in extremely high heals. They are just not for me. This realization
made me think about how so many people force themselves into
things that just aren’t comfortable. There are some
Jimmy Choo shoes I’d love to wear, but I can’t
do it! It’s just not the right fit for me.
Are you finding the right fit for you and your company?
You see finding the right shoes is not that different from
finding the right PDA (personal digital assistant),
Web Designer or CRM (customer
relationship management) application to use for you and your
business. You need to ask yourself some of the same questions.
What’s the occasion or purpose?
When choosing the right shoes to buy, knowing the occasion
makes a big difference in your choice. Different shoes go
with different events. You decide the look you want, the outfit
the shoes need to go with and how you want to feel. The shoes
need to match the outfit.
Technology decisions are no different. What
is the purpose? What kind of look do you want your application
to have? How do you want to feel as you work? Does this application
connect with the other items in your pipeline?
Take your time to look for something that will be comfortable
for you. If your working with a consultant that is trying
to push you into something, step back. Technologies
like shoes come in different designers, sizes, shapes and
colors. If you are only being told about one designer
you’re missing out. Many times it just takes a trip
to a different store to find the perfect shoes to go with
your outfit. Talk to someone else, search the web, or ask
other people in your industry. You may be surprised to find
that the technology you seek is not found in all stores. Just
like the perfect pair of shoes may be found at a remote boutique,
or in a friends closet. Search for the right technology.
Find the right fit!
