Speaking Points:
How you will personally respond to the new digital era?
The first step is to recognize where you need to head
If you look at these digital transformations it’s clear that digital businesses today use and connect data and services from many different sources. Some you will own. Some you will simply connect to. Some will be on-premises and some will not.
One large category of apps and services that are being driving through cloud are mobile apps and other means of engagement.
The bottom line is no one environment will contain everything you will need and use.
The essential challenge is that a multi-speed transformation is required. One in which organizations must continue to exploit the institutional knowledge and consistent processes of their core operations, while unleashing rapid, scalable innovation across ecosystems, that can then be incorporated repeatably into organizational DNA .
Multi-speed transformation requires an ambidextrous nature of working across different cultures, skillsets and ecosystems, and must be built on a technology foundation that bring these worlds together.
Speaking Points:
IT is a critical enabler of multi-speed transformation.
Organizations need to build the capabilities to rapidly develop and deliver new services, which requires a collaborative approach to development that extends across business leaders, developers and IT teams.
Scale is essential – organizations need to be able to take what is good in their enterprise, but rapidly incorporate new developments across ecosystems and extend these services… this requires a flexible IT foundation.
Operational automation and visibility is key – the pace of digital business demands that the right decisions are made at the right time… often at a pace human’s can’t keep up with. Analytics and automation ensure completeness of information, and the ability to respond to what this information is saying, at the right time. Automation frees up time for innovative new projects by minimizing the time teams spend on routine activities.
