4. Summary Digital Fit
The purpose of “Digital Fit: Manifest Future of
Business with Multidimensional Fit“ is to share
insight about multidimensional enterprise fit
from digital characteristics, organizational
structure, change, knowledge, and talent
perspectives; evoke critical and paradoxical
thinking about digital “fit vs. misfit,” spark
healthy debates on how to define and develop
true digital fit, and build a fitting working
environment to inspire creativity and accelerate
digital transformation.
5. Chapter 1 The Characteristic of Digital Fit
At the age of digital, businesses today need
nothing less than a paradigm shift in their
thinking about the fundamentals of how
organizations work to build an authentic culture
and an engaging workforce. The best-fit mind
means “thinking differently,” the best fit team
has complementary skills and capabilities, and
the best-fit organization has differentiated
competency to achieve high-performing results.
6. Chapter 2 Organizational Structure Fit
Increasingly, enterprises find themselves
enmeshed in the digital "eco-systems," whether
they like it or not. For the most part, while
they can influence and get influenced by these
"ecosystems," they have limited "control" over
these ecosystems. Thus, they have to keep
tuning the organizational structure to become
digital fit and adapt to such a digital new
normal accordingly.
7. Chapter 3 Change Fit
Change is inevitable, and the speed of change
is accelerating. However, adaptability and
resourcefulness -the response to change are
woefully underrated by businesses as keys to
sustainability and success. Successful
organizations see the changes coming and
with pre-planning to overcome the resistance
before it even manifests. An organization is
on the road to success when change is part of
its nature.
8. Chapter 4 Knowledge Fit
Business is going through a period of huge
disruption due to the accelerating speed of
changes and the emergent digital
technologies. The business life cycle is
significantly shortened. Knowledge is
without a doubt one of the most valuable
and most poorly managed assets in business
today. It is worthy of massive amounts of
attention and resources.
9. Chapter 5 Talent Fit
People are always the most invaluable asset
in businesses. “Hiring the right person with
the right capability for the right position at
the right time,” is the mantra of many
forward-thinking organizations. The right
people make a positive influence on
corporate culture and bring the wisdom to
the workplace.
10. Conclusion The Multidimensional Digital Fit
The digital paradigm shift is
inevitable. Keeping digital fit
means the fitting mindset, fitting
attitude, fitting structure, and
fitting speed. It means learning
agility, innovation, and balance.
