3. Our organisations (and our governments) were designed in a
pre-digital age
Today we have to take down historical barriers to benefit fully
from digital, but barriers go up too
Show what happens with Korea’s acceleration e.g. Internet of
Things could be slower in other countries
Co-design for post-digital:
Instead of a pre-digital world working out how to fit digital in,
imagine being in a digital world planning where you will go
next (TBL: “What do we want?”)
To do this needs an informed and inclusive* conversation
