Technology-business intersection

As explained in The AI Pocket Book

A work area where technical implementation and business goals are both central to the role.

Working at the technology-business intersection means helping a company reach business goals with technology, not just writing code. The emphasis is on choosing the right technical work for the business, and speaking up when a requested feature looks wrong businesswise. [s1] section 5.3

The role is tied to learning enough business to judge value, customer needs, competitive advantage, growth, and financing. It also connects to product discovery and business process thinking, especially when a product or system is meant to run effectively and create value. [s1] section 5.3

What you can do after
Operate as the person who translates business goals into the right technical work and pushes back on misaligned features.
How it connects
Connects technology with business goals, product discovery, competitive advantage, growth, financing, and business processes.
