Steering through technological change
summary
Analyzes 150 technologies in one month using five one‑hour workshops with 150 participants, surfaces 250 techs discussed and 50 contentious technologies needing decisions, and produces a live visualization backed by a GraphQL database via high graph. Uses asynchronous Slack channels, Loom explainer videos and a mirror board with a turn counter to force participation, records logos during the session to speed documentation, and funnels contested items to a decider who reviews outputs after a pause.
