5 areas of focus to survive in a digital worldSpark Digital
The world is moving faster than ever before - are you in control of your business, or are you distracted. A digital business changes its approach in five key areas.
Using digital technology to your advantage. Should you focus on improving customer experience or new products and services or your core business operations?
What industries have been digitally disrupted? What are being disrupted? What types of digital disruption are there? Where should you focus your digital disruption/transformation efforts?
When you hear “digital” most people start to think about Google, Facebook or other technology companies. But now transforming into a digital company is the strategic objective for many companies across multiple sectors. We see digitisation as the driving strategy for many global business; GE’s strategy is to become the first digital industrial company and is moving its headquarters to Boston to be closer to MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). Deutsche Bank wants to transform into a digital bank, and Sephora is digitising the world of beauty. The transformation is not just how these companies manage clients and deliver services through the web and smart phone apps, but back office processes, enhancing organisational agility, speeding up supply chains and recreating whole service offerings to make life easier or better for clients.

Digital transformation sweet spot: Business operationsMarcel Santilli

Your enterprise can digitally transform by gaining insights from your data to improve the experience for your customers.
Enterprises need to make over all aspects of their business, because today’s customers expect frictionless experiences — and because new competitors launched with the latest technologies can change and respond to customers faster than mature companies.
Start with the fact that your enterprise has valuable assets that start-ups don’t — your customers. Fostering loyalty among these customers requires improving their interaction with not only your products and services, but also sales, billing, support and shipping operations. Successful companies count on digital technologies to transform the total customer experience. As consumers, we’ve come to expect digitally enabled products as the new normal. But what’s the next step for your enterprise? Find ways to translate into their business lives what people love and expect as consumers.
Enterprises can learn from the digital leaders who look for ways that apps and data can be added to products to create new value over time. Digital leaders use what they learn from the data to reshape core operations to drive the enterprise forward. What’s considered a core operation varies from industry to industry, but the common characteristic is that core operations make up a sizable portion of the enterprise budget. Gaining even a modest amount of efficiency through digital transformation can significantly impact the bottom line. Data also can be used to predict mechanical failure and to schedule preventive maintenance to avoid business disruptions.
Digital transformation begins with data. So how can your enterprise gain insights from your data to improve the experience for your customers?

Digital transformation requires better organisational structuresLee Bryant
For established firms to successfully undertake digital transformation requires action to address the limitations of their internal structures and business culture. This talk outlines why this matters and how they can being to achieve meaningful change towards becoming a more agile, connected company.
In prior research, we showcased how digital leaders are using investments in digital technologies to transform key capabilities across customer experience and operations. However, in today’s volatile and disrupted world, capability leadership is not enough. As well as having the capabilities in place, organizations need to be nimble and flexible – dexterous – if they are to respond to ever-changing technology advances, emerging competitive disruptions, and changing customer needs. Enterprises that excel in both qualities – capability and dexterity – are digital organizations. This ‘digital elite’ reported that they outperformed their competitors on multiple key performance indicators including profitability, customer satisfaction, innovativeness and growth.

Areas explored include their trajectory towards a digital industrial company, GE’s Predix Platform, a cornerstone in GE’s digital strategy, how they operationalized their digital strategy through investment, greenfield and acquisitions, how they adapted a digital culture in a century old company and the rationale behind GE Digital, a shift to centralise their digital capabilities.
Zero UI refers to a paradigm where our movements, voice, glances, and even thoughts can all cause systems to respond to us through our environment. At its extreme, it implies a screen-less, invisible user interface where natural gestures trigger interactions, as if the user was communicating to another person.
It is brought about by the emergence and eventual mainstream adoption of sensors, wearables, distributed computers, data analytics, connected everything, where anticipatory, adaptive and contextually aware systems provide what we want when we want it – “by magic”
This presentation explores the contexts, scenarios, and uses of Zero UI, what it will mean to live alongside or even “inside” them. Zero UI will not be limited to personal devices but will extend to homes, entire cities, even environments and ecosystems, and as a result have a massive impact on society as a whole.

“How social technologies are changing business”
Haha. What a joke for a title.
Let’s just say: back to basics, how to build upon the things you’re already doing.
Software is changing the way traditional business operate. People now have smartphones in their pockets - a supercomputer that is 25,000 times more powerful and the minicomputers of the 1960s. This is changing people's behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organisational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered.

This is changing people's behaviour and how people shop and use services. The organisational structure created in the 20th century cannot survive when new digital solution are being offered. The hierarchical structure of these established companies assumes high coordination cost due to human activity. But when the coordination cost drops
The organisational structure that companies in the 20th century established was based on the fact that employees needed to do all the work. The coordination cost was high due to the effort and cost of employees, housing etc. Now we have software that can do this for use and the coordination cost drops to close-to-zero. Another thing is that things become free. Consider Flickr. Anybody can sign up and use the service for free. Only a fraction of the users get pro account and pay. How can Flickr make money on that? It turns out that services like this can.
Many businesses make money by giving things away. How can that possibly work? The music business has suffered severely with digital distribution of content. Should musicians put all their songs on YouTube? What is the future business model for music?

The digital revolution will redefine every sector of the economy. The pace of the change, as we move to more smart digital solutions, is predicted to be comparable to the Industrial Revolution. Although we not know for sure where the Digital Revolution will take us, but it holds massive potential to transform everything we do. We must be prepared to embrace new technologies, new business models, and new possibilities as they emerge.In this paper we discuss the trends and insights that will help you make more informed decisions in the digital world in the upcoming years.

Therefore in order to acknowledge some of the greatest contributors of excellence in ICT solutions space, Insights Success has shortlisted “The 10 Most Innovative ICT Disruptors to watch in 2019”
Each CIO post description includes something resembling the 12 roles and requirements. This list outlines what CEOs are currently looking for in their CIOs. However, it's not necessarily what CEOs really need from their CIOs.
In the current data-driven economy, in which analytics and software have become the main factors in business, executives must reconsider the hierarchies and silos that fueled the business in the past. There is no longer a need for "technology people" who work independently of "data people" who work in isolation from "sales" people or from "finance." Instead, they need to manage organizations where every employee is embraced by technology and data as integral to their work.
They also require CIOs to guide them there. In this regard, redefining the business to accommodate the new data economy is the primary task executives have to today's top-of-the-line CIOs.
Here's how:
from Software and the Business to Software is the Business
When Cargill began to put IoT sensors in shrimp ponds, Chief Information Officer Justin Kershaw realised that the $130 billion agriculture business was evolving into a digital enterprise. To determine the point at which IT should stop and where IoT technology engineering needs to begin, Kershaw did not call CIOs from other food and agricultural companies to discuss their experiences. He contacted the CIOs of SAP and Microsoft as well as various other companies that use software. He was thinking about reimagining the world's biggest agricultural business as a software business.
Modern Delivery
Moving software from a supporting role to leading position is the why is the issue, then modern delivery is the way to do it. Modern delivery involves an approach to product (rather as project) management rapid development and small teams of cross-functional experts which co-create, as well as continuous integration and delivery, all with a brand new financial model that supports "value" not "projects."
However, don't try to build an modern SDLC. Instead, build a software development cycle (SDLC) on an industrial infrastructure. The architecture that is intended for this data-driven economy relies on platforms and cloud-connected, makes use of APIs that connect with an ecosystem outside and splits monolithic applications into microservices.
"A platforms model encompasses more than just an architecture. It's a mental model that allows us to consider how vertically we can provide the vet, farmer, or pet's owners, then expand to think horizontally about ways to make solutions adaptable, scalable and secure" claims Wafaa Mamilli Chief Information Officer and Digital Officer of global animal health firm Zoetis. "Platforms can be flexible, intelligent and run algorithms that let us rapidly change. If we did not adopt the platform model and approach, we'd be funding these massive programs."

Leveraging Design Thinking for Value Enhancement of Digital Transformation Innomantra
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Digital Transformation has been making waves and has found widespread recognition in most industries. What started as a driver of marginal efficiency is now rapidly shifting to become an enabler of fundamental innovation and disruption within an organization. The scope and scale of digital-driven change continue to grow immensely. However, organizations are still grappling with the nuances of the journey of digital transformation implementation, its implications or its impact. Digital transformation is not about adopting technologies but having an integrated approach involving people and leadership.
This white paper presents the context of digital transformation in manufacturing organizations. It redefines the process to incorporate important aspects such as breaking the silos, rescoping the challenge/ objectives, having an iterative approach and using design thinking to better understand the value implication of such an exercise. Case studies from clients have been used to illustrate the same.

9. We’re now in an experience world,
NOT a product world, and digital
transformation has to support a
customer-centric business strategy.
10. Sandra Ng says the
key question you need
to ask yourself is:
How can I engage
consumers in
a completely
different way?
11. Whether your business is B2B or B2C,
at the end of the day you will eventually
sell to a consumer. Your understanding
of customer centricity from a consumer
perspective becomes very important.
Sandra Ng, Group VP, IDC Asia Pacific
12. Paul Keesing bravely
shares an old tweet:
Well done State
– you have the
least s**t online
car insurance
experience.
13. Most insurance policies are pretty much
the same. So how do you differentiate?
We’re still figuring it out, but working with
our customers, suppliers and internal
teams to ensure we differentiate ourselves.
Paul Keesing, GM Digital, IAG
14. Vernon Turner asks
the question:
With a connected
society, and the ability
to ‘talk’ to millions of
people very quickly,
how do you create
personalised customer
experiences?
15. You need to build an infrastructure that
understands it’s not about the product,
it’s all about the customer. Put the
customer at the middle of everything
you do.
Vernon Turner, SVP of Enterprise Systems, IDC
16. Siim Sikkut shares
how the Estonian
government has
delivered a dazzling
range of digital
services for its
customers – the
citizens of Estonia.
17. We’ve received international praise for the ease
with which Estonians can access public records
online, with President Obama saying:
I should have called the Estonians when
we were setting up our healthcare website’.
Siim Sikkut, Digital Policy Advisor, Government of Estonia
‘
19. One of the priorities for technologists looking
to change team culture is moving the focus
from technology to business outcomes.
20. Sandra Ng says that
people are the biggest
challenge during
transformation, so it
requires leadership
from the top.
21. People resist change, saying ‘this is
something we have been doing for years’
or ‘it is not going to work’. CEOs should
lead digital transformation because they
set the tone for the entire organisation.
Sandra Ng, Group VP, IDC Asia Pacific
22. Winners of the ‘Best ICT
Team Culture’ Award,
Westpac CIO Dawie
Oliver says that as soon
as he started allowing
people to operate in a
way that they chose, not
their managers, team
engagement scores
went off the chart.
TBC
23. There’s no mystique to this. When
people are allowed to figure out how
they must do that thing that they
aspire to do, happiness breaks out.
Dawie Olivier, CIO, Westpac
24. Paul Keesing speaks
about the importance
of aligning culture,
describing how IAG
created a culture of
cross-contamination
to share resources
across the group.
25. I love the notion of remote working
and collaborating over distance in
geographically distributed teams,
but there’s nothing more powerful
than a team that also sits together.
Paul Keesing, GM Digital, IAG
29. Just as we all got the hang of 2-speed or
bi-modal IT, IDC has introduced a new
framework called ‘Leading in 3D’, spanning:
Innovate, Incorporate and Integrate.
31. ‘Integrate’ means taking new capabilities
and technologies and combining them
with your legacy environment to bring
digital transformation capabilities
across your entire organisation, and
potentially across your entire ecosystem.
Sandra Ng, Group VP, IDC Asia Pacific
32. Stefan Preston
explains that there is
frustration because,
while there is
pressure to transform,
legacy technologies
restrict the ability
to change.
33. There is an ‘us and them’ thing between
technology and marketing and there
are very few people who have a foot
in both camps. That results in an
inability to adapt, which sees billion
dollar companies going into the bin.
Stefan Preston, Director, Spring Business Accelerator
34. Paul Keesing shares
his CDO view of the
CIO’s priorities and
how a common
‘language’ was
developed at IAG
to integrate and
align the teams.
35. If we are going to deliver with
urgency, we have to be super-
fast and customer obsessed
and ruthlessly prioritising.
Paul Keesing, GM Digital, IAG
37. After all the hype, the IoT is moving
away from toys for the consumer
and is now a priority for business.
38. The biggest challenge for IT professionals
is to use the IoT to create business
value and support business goals.
39. The speakers shared many examples.
IoT technology is used to monitor 2 million
trees around Singapore to determine
how weather impacts tree health.
40. A connected cow produces 200MB of
data per year, helping to increase milk
yields and breeding cycles to create
savings of $500 per cow each year.
41. IAG now has drones in its arsenal to assess
fire damage in Australia, taking 60-70
assessors out of harm’s way, providing better
data and more accurate pictures of loss.
42. Alex Bazin says
it’s not just about
the devices, it’s
the connections
that matter.
43. The IoT is less about things,
and more about people
and processes.
Alex Bazin, VP and Head of IoT, Fujitsu
44. As the numbers and
lifespans of devices
exponentially increase,
you need to consider
how you will support
them over 15 or more
years, when you’re
used to supporting IT
for only 3-5 years.
45. How will companies move their
IT to support 10 million users,
when they’re only supporting
10,000 users today?
Alex Bazin, VP and Head of IoT, Fujitsu
46. Vernon Turner says
you no longer have
a choice of being
connected – you
will be connected.
47. While we need to focus on cloud,
social, mobile and big data, IoT is
the game changer. It is the fuel for
all the things we’re going to do.
Vernon Turner, SVP of Enterprise Systems, IDC
48. Sean Duca says
don’t use 2006
techniques to
protect against 2016
security threats.
49. Security is like brakes on a car –
they make the car go faster
as you have the ability to
control when to slow down.
Sean Duca, VP and Regional CSO Asia Pacific,
Palo Alto Networks
50. Carl Woerndle
provides a frank
and personal
account of a hacker
destroying his 9
year-old business
in only 3 weeks.
51. We didn’t think about the Armageddon
option. Decide what to protect, put in
place protection and plan your response
when you are hit with an incident. It’s
not a matter of if, it’s a matter of when.
Carl Woerndle, CEO, My Empire
53. There’s a lot of competition within the
C-Suite for the digital lead role, so
which executive is in the best place
to drive digital transformation?
54. Sandra Ng believes
that the CIO is best
placed to lead (and
she says that’s not
just because she
was speaking to a
room full of CIOs).
55. The CIO is in the best position because
you understand technology and what
you do is cross-functional. The rest of the
C-Suite only have one function, sometimes
two, so aren’t truly multidisciplinary.
Sandra Ng, Group VP, IDC Asia Pacific
56. Vernon Turner urges
us not to miss
the next wave of
innovation, saying
that there is a gap in
the CIO qualification.
57. There’s a danger of CIOs being too focused on
running the business and not embracing the
innovation coming from the next generation
of millennials. That’s a skill we definitely need
to have (and we missed it 10 years ago).
Vernon Turner, SVP of Enterprise Systems, IDC
58. Every leader
needs to become
a digital leader,
and every business
needs to become a
digital business.
59. The CIOs who
digitise today’s
business, while
also looking for
opportunities
to innovate for
tomorrow’s business,
will be the leaders
of the future.
