The document discusses how businesses must now stage experiences, mass customize offerings, fuse the real with the virtual, and adopt a way of managing with the intent to vitalize the enterprise in order to withstand "creative destruction" and survive in evolving markets. It also emphasizes that enterprises must constantly destructively recreate themselves through innovation in order to stay ahead of competitors and create greater value.

Digital Transformation ( DT) – the use of technology to radically improve and differentiate performance or reach of enterprises is becoming a hot topic for companies across the globe. Executives in all industries are using digital advances such as Analytic, Mobility, Social media and smart embedded devices and improving their use of traditional technologies such as ERP – to change customer relationships, internal processes, and value propositions. We continue to see how fast digital technology disrupted media industries in the past decade and it now spreading to all businesses irrespective of the domain and sectors.
How can top / senior management successfully lead digital transformation? While we all know and urge the team to get started on the digital transformation journey , few tell how to do it. This book gives a clear “ How” part .
I have also given in the summary few good case studies where digitization has impacted the business outcomes like Burberry , Asian Paints, Nike, Codelco, Starbucks , UPS etc.
The how part –Leading digital transformation
• Sharing a digital transformation vision across the enterprise ( not in piece mail – all businesses across the group need to envision the journey and be in sync)
• Gaining critical mass – inclusiveness
• Frame the digital challenges
• Focus investment on resources
• Sustaining the transformation

The Digital Enterprise Shift: Why it matters, and how you can avoid being sid...MWD Advisors
This is a summary of a free analysis report that's available at www.mwdadvisors.com/digitalenterprise
We constantly hear industry commentators talk about cloud computing, social business, mobile computing, big data or analytics. We also hear talk about how customers’ expectations are changing and how businesses need to deliver more joined-up, high-quality customer experiences. Often not explained, though, is how all these things are connected – and why the big change vectors driving everything are creating new business-technology capability requirements for enterprises. A shift to a new ‘Digital Enterprise’ operating model, which takes a ‘digital first’ approach to building, improving, linking and managing business capabilities wherever they may be, is happening. Digital Enterprises are fundamentally more economically efficient than others. You can see this as an opportunity or a threat; but you can’t ignore it.
The exponential pace of change is continuing in the Digital Economy. Just as you were getting used to making web, mobile, social, cloud and analytics work in your businesses, along comes the next set of super-disruptors.
The State of Digital Transformation 2018 - 2019 by Brian SolisBrian Solis
"Digital is an enterprise-wide strategic priority — but there's work to be done," according to Brian Solis and Altimeter, a Prophet company.
Now in its fifth year, our annual “State of Digital Transformation” research continues to document the constantly evolving enterprise. As disruptive technologies and their impact on organizations and markets continue to progress, our research aims to capture the shifts and trends that are shaping modern digital transformation.
In 2019, strategic digital transformation is only becoming more pervasive moving beyond IT to impact competitiveness throughout the organization. Budgets are soaring. The list of disruptive technologies on the radar of stakeholders is expanding. Ownership is moving to the C-Suite and managed by cross-functional, collaborative groups. Customer experience (CX) continues to lead digital transformation investments, but as we observed in 2017, employee experience and organizational culture are also rising in importance to empower and accelerate change, growth, and innovation.
Digital Transformation as an Enterprise-Wide Movement
This year, it’s clear that digital transformation is maturing into an enterprise-wide movement. Digital transformation is modernizing how companies work and compete and helping them effectively adapt and grow in an evolving digital economy.
What’s also evident is that there is still much work to do as companies are, by and large, prioritizing technology over grasping the disruptive trends that are influencing markets and, more specifically, customer and employee behaviors and expectations.

Think for a moment the way a Hollywood movie is made.
To ensure the most appropriate and highest quality talent is acquired, a mixed team of ‘contractors’ is pulled together, each of them fulfilling a specific requirement for the film. These teams form, create magic onscreen, and then, when the movie is over, disband.
We believe this "Hollywood Model" is one the government should adopt to help improve access to the talent required to drive Digital Transformation. We believe that to bring together the most experienced team of people requires not just recruitment, but also the coordination and leadership of a mixture of both internal and external talent, hand- picked to answer the specific requirements of the challenge.
IT Excellence and Digital TransformationRoy Atkinson

Digital Transformation (DX) is a hot topic everywhere, but there are many definitions. When HDI conducted a poll of IT leaders in early 2020, 60% said business transformation is their top priority, and 64% said they are investing in solutions to support business transformation.
his presentation will be an interactive discussion with attendees, helping to clarify:
• What DX means and how the definition helps to focus the strategic goals of a DX initiative
• Why IT excellence is needed to make DX work
• How IT delivers value
• What the most overlooked element of DX is
• How to start transformation if your organization hasn’t and how to proceed if you have
For businesses that want to stay relevant in a Digitized Market, it's imperative to consider Digital Transformation. At Cygnet we deliver 100% Agile solutions in line with your business goals
Digital technology is everywhere. As a consequence, companies need fully embrace the digital transformation. To succeed, it is no longer sufficient to optimize front offices and increase customer experience by using digital. Instead, companies need a solid enterprise-wide transformation to reap the full potential of digital. We team up with clients to explore and define a digital strategy and road map to this end, thereby also creating a kick starter for change.

Transformation is not digital, it's constantAyal Levin
Many organizations focus on Digital Transformation as a key to success. There seems to be a belief that “Once we become fully digital, the transformation is complete”. However, the reality of today will not be the leading solution of tomorrow. This talk will focus on the reasons why it’s not about digital transformation, rather, it’s about building organizations that can support constant transformation -in culture, in working models, in strategic thinking, and in mindset.
RETAIL IGNITION an event from The iris Nursery, the innovation and ventures division of iris worldwide.
Clients often tell us that they’ve got mixed feelings about innovation.
On the one hand, they realize that it’s critical for the survival of their business, and that there are usually plenty of ideas floating around the business.
On the other, many have a growing sense of frustration around delivering ideas and finding the ones that will work for them in their market(s). Or, more accurately, rapidly figuring out which ones won’t work and either adapting or abandoning them.
Our Retail Ignition workshop is focussed on finding business ideas that can be rapidly tested in a series of market experiments. To create and maintain momentum and reduce risk.
Kickstarting specific innovation concepts that can be delivered in the short/medium term.
Curating bespoke combinations of partners to help inspire & deliver ideas for brands. Exploring co-investment models to share the risk and reward.

Kim C. Korn & Human Centric Management: Regenerative Managing for a digitaliz...Kari Mikkelä
The digitalizing world requires constant focus on creative destruction and exploration – in other words, enterprise regeneration. The newly created Regenerative Managing framework enables organizations to seize this opportunity. Kim C. Korn’s take on regenerative managing takes a very humane view:
”Management needs to adhere human values, something it traditionally doesn’t do. An enterprise is about people and activities (external and internal to the enterprise) working together. People and enterprise should have their abilities, intention and goals aligned. A meaningful purpose is the key for sense of direction.”
Create Advantage Inc. (USA) and Urban Mill (Finland) offered an experimental workshop for pioneering organizations interested in learning about becoming regenerative and self-sustaining themselves. We had a group of 20+ multi-talented pioneers co-creating the managing and workshop concept further with Kim.
Later on the week we visited some of our stakeholders and started managament development dialogue with them, including EIT ICT Labs Lunch on Fri 24.4.
Next autumn we’ll open up outcomes of this week to a wider audience. Stay tuned!

I am a professional creative who spends quite a bit of time talking
about, and selling my creative work. This workshop summarises all of the little
tips and truths I’ve picked up from my talented colleagues over the years.
It was inspired by the fact there are so many courses about craft for designers,
writers and creatives of all disciplines, but very little in the way of practical tips
about showing and selling your own work.
This workshop is my attempt to correct this.
Only few organizations wise up to new digital competitors, as they usually come from outside their own sector and are not taken seriously at first. Their allegedly inferior propositions confuse prominent players, who should in fact be the very first to be fully aware of potentially disruptive innovation.
To swing into action rapidly, existing organizations would be well advised to properly analyze anything resembling digital competition. Evidently, there are clear patterns behind the startup success marking a new techno-economic reality. Ecosystems, APIs, and platforms characterize this New Normal where customers have more freedom of choice and better service at lower costs.
These successful disruptors are called two-sided market players, also known as multi-sided platform players. Companies like Uber and Airbnb are getting all the media attention, however there are over 9000 players (and counting) active in almost every industry.
The new VINT report explores the new digital competition and presents:
A analysis of the success factors of disruption
10 design principles of the new digital competition like Unbundle your organization processes, APIs first. Access over ownership and Building trust with social systems
The need for every business to develop a API-strategy
An appeal to the CIO and the IT department to use a leading digital approach and map out an offensive technological route.
The disruptive potential of new technologies is growing at a staggering speed and challengers in the market are more vigorous than ever. The combination of these new possibilities and the rise of new competitors are the main drivers that are accelerating innovation. This is the reason why leaders put technology on top of their list of factors that will determine their organization’s future.
When will the Internet change our cities like it changed our lives? In the final Things report SMACT and the City we now take the city as the center of Things.
The convergence of bricks and clicks
The report shows how the five basic SMACT technologies are moving the creation of 21st century urban environments into top gear. We provide a status update on Smart Cities today and how developments like Senseable Cities and Cities as a Platform provide both new dynamics and opportunities for blending the digital and the physical infrastructure of our world together. The report provides a analysis of how this is already becoming a reality for retailers and presents what companies and organisations of all trades could learn from the accelerating convergence of bricks and clicks.
From the report:
- The Internet of Things will change our cities.
- The five basic technologies that form SMACT are moving urban development into top gear.
- The digital architecture of the city is becoming a true development platform.
- SMACT will transform the city into a platform to blend bricks and clicks seamlessly together.
- The future of cities is about: platform solutions, pervasive applications, and sensible sensing technologies.
- City as a Platform equals the infrastructural capacity plus the human dimension, the empowerment of behavior through data and applications.
The fourth stage of the Industrial Revolution is upon us due to the far-reaching integration, accelerated by the Internet of Things, of Operational Technology (OT) and Information Technology (IT). This creates completely new opportunities as a result of new combinations of mental, physical and mechanical work by integrating the internet, sensors and embedded systems.
The Internet of Things enabled IT/OT convergence leads to cost reduction as a consequence of predictive maintenance, speed and intelligence, thanks to Machine-to-Machine communication and improved forms of Human-Machine Interaction. M2M interaction between and within machines and systems is the cyber-physical heart of the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

In the past few years, information technology has become increasingly personal and social and has made its presence very much felt. The emergence of wearable computing and other forms of empathic ‘things’ seems a logical further step: even more intimate, more human-oriented, and ubiquitous. There are more and more devices that count our steps, take our blood pressure or measure the indoor temperature, track our location or conversations.
We are witnessing a computer boom in terms of kinds, shapes and sizes – around, on or inside the body – that behave increasingly smart and link up more and more intuitively with man’s extremely personal and natural interface.
In the next decade Personal Computing will become really personal: inside, on and around the person with attention for the context of the individual. In this study we explore this development and present seven manifestations that can define the impact on business, such as the ‘quantified employee’ and the ‘body as the new password’

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
2. Economies evolve, produce
wealth, and remain vital when the
process of ever-changing
markets, offerings, and
enterprises “incessantly
revolutionizes the economic
structure from within, incessantly
destroying the old one,
incessantly creating a new one.”
“This process of Creative
Destruction is the essential fact
about capitalism.”

Third Edition (New York: Harper Perennial, 1950), pp. 81-86.
20. To withstand the Schumpeterian
gale of creative destruction, the
enterprise must be “destructively
recreating itself over and over
again by innovating within the
enterprise at least as much as is
going on in its ecosystems.
Anything less and the enterprise
will eventually get blown over by
others moving faster, operating
better, and creating greater
value.”

Only the enterprise that attains
vitality, through its incessant
destructive recreation, produces
the wealth necessary to survive.
