The document outlines six tactics for improving technology scouting aimed at helping small and medium-sized businesses identify emerging innovations. The process involves identifying new technologies, gathering and analyzing information from various sources, and mapping relevant technologies to client needs. Ultimately, it emphasizes leveraging insights from adjacent industries to enhance business outcomes.

1. 6 Tactics To Improve Your Technology Scouting
Technology scouting's main goal is to help small and medium-sized businesses identify emerging
innovations, channel tech-related data into the organization, and promote inexperienced technology
in a corporate setting. At Ingenious E-Brain, we combine our knowledge, analysis, and tried-and-true
processes to map out the innovations that will influence your business. We carry out technology
scouting service in following steps:
1. Identification of Emerging technology: Our technology experts who have good understanding of
prevalent technologies and products in the domain, identify new technology opportunities which has
not been tapped into by the company.
2. Gathering Information from information sources: The scouts choose the sources of knowledge and
the tools to use. Formal and informal sources of information may be distinguished. Informal sources
are particularly useful for detecting discontinuities and high-level areas of technical change. Formal
sources have the advantage of allowing automated knowledge searches, such as database searches
using predefined algorithms. These sources are generally paid or open-source databases, the
information is gathered through journals, technology reports, studies, and other databases such as
Orbit Questel, Derwent Innovations, seminars, and conferences.
3. Data collection: Data is gathered and often saved for later study. Expert scouts gather more data
and pick more important information using their technical skills and understanding of the company's
needs by utilizing a broader network.
4.Data Analysis: Filtration, analysis, and interpretation of collected data is carried out. It is believed
that the best analysis takes place in the combined team of scouts and those receiving the information.

2. 5.Technology Mapping: In this step, scout maps identified technologies to client’s need or
requirement on how and where client can utilize identified solutions or technologies for streamlining
their processes and earn more profits.
6.Technologies from Adjacent Industries: Finally, a team of experts find out technologies available
from adjacent industries or domains those could be utilized for better outcomes of the process by the
client company.
