You would benefit from some more in depth conversations with several strategic technical consultants - essentially a CTO type person - to get some definitive immediate steps and longer term understanding of how you may want to change your business relationship with technology. Several of the comments here are very good - - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41195008 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41195008 - is probably the one I align most with. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41193136 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41193136 - is going to be a common take. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41195910 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41195910 - is an extreme stance that requires and benefits specific sorts of senior leadership. - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41196183 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41196183 - is quite scary, but the point is a valid one. I'd suggest you reach out to a few people who have responded at the strategic level and see where the conversations go; I'd also suggest you reach out to myself (contact in bio / south UK based); and finally tap on your network for others as well. You will end up doing a reasonable amount of internal and external exploration activities before a path is determined - so expectation management is a must. Best of luck.
