The document discusses several topics related to digital governance and the future of technology: 1. Global connectivity through digital infrastructure is transforming governments and the world system. Vast new infrastructure networks are being built for roads, railways, internet cables, and more. 2. Technologies are disrupting jobs and businesses across Southeast Asia, with over half of salaried workers at high risk of losing jobs to automation. This is pushing a shift from manufacturing to service industries like tourism and healthcare. 3. Countries like the Philippines face challenges in developing digital governance and readiness for future technologies. While e-government initiatives have improved rankings, businesses still lag in fully implementing digital transformation strategies. Urgent efforts are needed to

How Technology is

18. The study, called ASEAN in
Transformation: How Technology
is changing Jobs and
Enterprises, has found that
around 56% of salaried workers in
South East Asia are at high-risk of
losing their jobs in the near future.
This 56% comprises of about 137
million workers, amongst which
those working in the garments
industry are the most vulnerable.
The garments industry, which
includes textiles, clothing, and
footwear, employs about 9 million
people across South East Asia, of
whom the majority are young
women.

more customers, to be able to serve more

28. Digital Business Transformation Areas
Digital transformation in the integrated and connected sense
which it requires can, among, others, touch upon the
transformation of:
• Business activities/functions: marketing, operations, human
resources, administration, customer service, etc.
• Business processes: one or more connected operations,
activities and sets to achieve a specific business goal, whereby
business process management, business process optimization
and business process automation come into the picture (with
new technologies such as RPA). Business process
optimization is essential in digital transformation strategies and
in most industries and cases is a mix of customer-facing goals
and internal goals today.

29. • Business ecosystems: the networks of partners and
stakeholders, as well as contextual factors affecting the
business such as regulatory or economic priorities and
evolutions. New ecosystems are built between companies
with various background upon the fabric of digital
transformation, information, whereby data and actionable
intelligence become innovation assets.
• Business asset management: whereby the focus lies on
traditional assets but, increasingly, on less ‘tangible’
assets such as information and customers (enhancing
customer experience is a leading goal of many digital
transformation “projects” and information is the lifeblood
of business, technological evolutions and of any human
relationship). Both customers and information need to be
treated as real assets in all perspectives.

30. • Organizational culture, whereby there must be a clear
customer-centric, agile and hyper-aware goal which is
achieved by acquiring core competencies across the board
in areas such as digital maturity, leadership, knowledge
worker silos and so forth. Culture also overlaps with
processes, business activities, collaboration and the IT-
side of digital transformation. In order to bring applications
faster to market changes are required. That’s the essence
of DevOps: development and operations. In order to make
IT and OC work together in businesses /processes
/activities, change is required too (it’s not just the
information and operational technologies, it’s the
processes, culture, collaboration). Etc.

31. Ecosystem and partnership models, with
among others a rise of co-operative,
collaborative, co-creating and, last but not
lost, entirely new business ecosystem
approaches, leading to new business
models and revenue sources. Ecosystems
will be key in the as-a-service-economy and
in achieving digital transformation success.

Information Agency on May 17, 2018]

• 50% of the 2006 Fortune companies will no
longer exist
• Many companies are unable to keep up with
the pace

Transformation Study

to enable future growth as a key priority •
ONLY 32% have a full digital transformation
strategy in place

36. Are we ready?
World of constant disruption and innovation”
URGENT NEED to groom digital leaders
for Philippine businesses to grow and
remain relevant in the future

37. • Manufacturing production processes
are transforming in terms of
geography, jobs and efficiency
• Certain sectors and groups will face
particular disruption
• Technology will “change” a lot of
jobs rather than “replace” them
• Making skills, training and education
systems “fit for purpose” will require
major effort
• Comprehensive multifaceted growth
and investment strategies are now
required in the technological age

38. Technology recruitment will be robust in
2018, with digital transformation driving much
of the demand. Many businesses in the future
looked to integrate a digital strategy into their
overall business approach. This has led to
huge demand for digitally astute candidates in
all areas of technology.
