Technology prophets are team members that like to introduce new technology to improve the individual workers productivity and the team productivity by using productivity software or collaborative software.

A technology prophet can turn an organization into an early adopter of technologies which can lead to strategic competitive advantages, but on the other hand, simply introducing technology without the approriate means of collaboration and usage will lead to waste and frustration among the team members. In this case, the technology prophet should work with a collaboration champion and learning catalyst to successfully introduce new technology with a purpose that goes beyond technology for the sake of technology.
