The Technology Readiness Index (TRI)

The Technology Readiness Index (TRI) is a tool used to measure how willing and prepared individuals are to adopt and use new technology. It assesses four key factors: optimism about technology’s benefits, confidence in using tech, comfort with complexity, and skepticism about technology’s reliability. By understanding these traits, organizations can better predict how likely people are to embrace innovation, tailor communication strategies, and improve technology adoption processes. Essentially, TRI helps gauge a person's overall attitude toward new tech and their readiness to incorporate it into their lives or work.
