“Reinventing the Company in the Digital Age” is the latest addition to BBVA’s annual series dedicated to analyzing the major issues of our time. As always the principal idea behind our series of books is the desire to understand and help people understand the powerful forces that are influencing our world. Over the past six years our books have dealt with the many interrelated subjects of the digital age: Technological and social change, big data, innovation and the new behaviors and preferences of societies. “Reinventing the Company in the Digital Age” goes much deeper into how the information technology driven revolution is influencing the very foundation of how the great majority of us work and do business. This in many ways is tantamount to discussing how the digital revolution is shaping the future of the economy, the society and our daily lives.

Mobile Mastery ebook - Nokia - #SmarterEverydayNokia
Mobile - being connected everywhere to everything and everyone - is the fact of modern life. It defines how we live, how we work, how we communicate and how the world runs. It is the tool we reach for first when we are faced with challenges big and small in our everyday lives.
But despite the rapid pace with which we’ve adopted it, we’re still learning the best and most effective ways to use mobile technology, how to make the most of the opportunities and how to avoid the pitfalls.
That is what mobile mastery is about – gaining the skills and knowledge we need to work with technology in a productive, efficient and beneficial way.

The average lifespan of a company is now less than 20 years. Work is being redefined and how we increase productivity, manage talent, and develop skills over the next 5 years will be completely different than the last 20. As we move into the 4th industrial revolution - defined by the use of data automation and machine learning - the need to embrace new technologies and design work around people has never been greater. In a first of its kind, this research-focused presentation shares where investment is going in WorkTech and outline the emerging trends that are redefining how companies embrace the new world of work.

Stop Talking About Innovation!
We need to limit the use of the word and the term “innovation” and we need to ban the term “innovation culture” entirely.
This is the radical outset for a keynote or a session in which Stefan Lindegaard challenges common beliefs on innovation, explain why most companies fail with their efforts to become more “innovative” and share insights on how to build the capabilities that can help companies and organizations survive and prosper in these times of fast change and strong disruption.
The key messages:
- Focus on corporate transformation and digitalization – or die!
- Link your efforts to the challenges of your stakeholders and increase your ROI
- Work with the unusual suspects; internally as well as externally
- Focus on people, people and people – and upgrade their mindset and skills
- Learn to communicate better and differently – or fail!
About Stefan Lindegaard:
Stefan Lindegaard is an author, speaker and strategic advisor. His focus on corporate transformation, digitalization and innovation has propelled him into being a trusted source of inspiration to many large corporations. He believes business and innovation requires an open and global perspective and he has given talks and worked with companies in Europe, North America, South America, Africa and Asia.
Stefan Lindegaard has written several books including 7 Steps for Open Innovation, Making Open Innovation Work and The Open Innovation Revolution. His blog is a globally recognized destination with many free resources (books, white papers, exercises). You can read further at 15inno.com.
You might have thought that mentoring was just
one of those HR trendy tools to attract and retain talents
and to remotivate senior managers in your firm.
Well, think again.
This white paper as been designed to give you an
opportunity to reconsider what you may know, or imagine,
about mentoring...
In it, we will discuss and try to illustrate how corporations
can find a balance between their formal structure source
of efficiency and their informal networks source of agility,
and why mentor / mentee networks are such powerful
cultural game changers.

Capabilities we need now in change managementLena Ross
Titled 'The High 5 of Change Mastery' this presentation is a guide for change leaders and practitioners to future-pace their capabilities with these skills for change mastery. These emerging capabilities will help us optimise our relevance and effectiveness in a disruptive business environment.
Here you get the latest of my presentations where I share messages such as:
“We need to rethink the term “innovation” and we should drop the term “innovation culture” entirely.”
“Four global megatrends drive business today: Everything moves faster, everything will be connected, knowledge is transparent and disruption hits harder and faster.”
“Getting ideas and working with them in the early stages is the easier part. The execution is what really matters. We have begun the transition phase.”
“The role of the CTO has changed as real value creation no longer is centered around technology or product itself. Services, processes and business models are key. The internal power needs to shift.”
“Disruption hits much harder and much faster than ever before. You can’t plan for disruptive or radical innovation, but you can be sure you will be disrupted.”
“Don’t talk about innovation. Focus on how you can transform your company based on values, assets, partners, threats and opportunities.”
“The organizational structures need to change. They are not build for the upcoming challenges and opportunities and we need to experiment much more on what will work the best for the future of business.”
“Strong organizations do four things very well: They listen, adapt, experiment and execute better than their competitors.”
“There is no digital strategy. Just strategy in a digital world.”
“If you want to change the perception inside your organization, the outside voice is the most important.”
“People first, processes next, then ideas. The key for execution is people – don´t focus too much on ideas and projects.”
“Discovery – Incubation – Acceleration: Have the right people for the right project at the right time in the right context. Build people pools, not just project pools.”
“Strong change teams know they can´t do it by themselves; they become facilitators and integrators. Education is a key objective.”
…and a short story that I really like:
“A CFO is wary about investing in the training and education of the employees.
He asks the CEO: ”What happens if we invest in developing our people and then they leave our company?”
The CEO is a bright person and replies: ”What happens if we don’t and they stay?”
To thrive in today’s dynamic and unpredictable business environment we need novel ways of doing things, whatever the economic climate. So in an age when traditional skills can be outsourced or automated, creative thinking skills are highly sought after.
We train and develop employees at all levels to think creatively and solve problems. We do this by helping them understand their creative strengths and take new approaches to business issues. Often this involves a significant degree of change – unlearning existing ways of working to adopt a more flexible, curious approach.
To ensure these new skills and behaviours are fully utilised and recognised, we also help organisations integrate innovation-friendly working practices into corporate HR policy. This includes how to promote and reward creative thinking, how to integrate this into appraisals and performance reviews, and how to recruit for innovation.
People are fed up with innovation so we need to tone down the use of the word and the term “innovation” - and we need to ban the term “innovation culture” entirely.
This is the radical outset for this session in which Stefan Lindegaard challenges common beliefs on innovation, explain why most companies fail with their efforts to become more “innovative” and share insights on how to build the capabilities that can help companies and organizations survive and prosper in these times of fast change and strong disruption.
The key messages:
- Focus on corporate transformation and digitalization – or die!
- Link your efforts to the challenges of your stakeholders to increase ROI
- Work with the unusual suspects; internally as well as externally
- Focus on people, people and people – and upgrade their mindset and skills
- Learn to communicate better and differently – or fail!
Learner Engagement is back in focus. With the majority of the global corporate workforce still #workingfromhome, several recent surveys indicate that #learnerengagement will be one of the top points to address for corporate L&D team.
While we all agree that Motivation and Practice are the two pillars of Learning Engagement, Learning at the Time of Need and Feedback are two factors that we can ill afford to ignore. Learning engagement also depends largely on the organizational culture, and the transition of L&D from an order taker to playing an active role by being a consultant/advisor is crucial for today's learning endeavors to be successful. Also, the active contribution of line managers and other similar stakeholders in the creation and curation of learning content is also essential.
It is with the aim to discuss and emphasize these factors that we present you with the top 20 quotes from the insightful conversations that Amit Garg - CEO of Upside Learning Solutions, who moderated the podcasts had with learning experts and features:

Digital technologies allow organizations to reinvent themselves – transforming the core of the business and finding and exploiting new sources of value. However, many organizations are struggling to reinvent themselves because they run up against a significant barrier – culture. Our research shows that culture is the number 1 barrier to digital transformation.
This edition of the Digital Transformation Review focuses on this critical, but neglected, topic:
How are large and traditional organizations tackling the thorny issue of digital culture?
What do digital-native firms do differently when it comes to digital culture?
What advice do leading academics have for organizations attempting to get digital culture change right?
We share the insights of key leaders and experts on this topic, representing the views of traditional companies, academia, and the Silicon Valley. We also outline Capgeminis’ point of view on how organizations can close the growing employee-leadership gap in digital culture, drawing on an extensive global survey.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

How can organizations create the energy and
passion that triggers break-through inno-
vations – not only in products, but also in
management processes and in new ways of
serving their customers?
n How can you create energy and innovation
in your organization right now?
n Increase the probability of being in a Hot
Spot from 20% to 50 % of your time
n Why and when do Hot Spots emerge?
n Learn how to create environments which
nurture and support Hot Spots
n Why do some Hot Spots flourish while
others fail?
n Find out how you as an HR professional can
be better equipped to develop better pro-
ducts and deliver superior service
on Hot Spots - Why Some Teams, Workplaces, and Organisations Buzz
with Energy - and Others Don’t
Lynda Gratton
Meet the Human Resource Strategy guru
Don’t miss this unique opportunity
to spend a day with one of the world’s
leading Human Resource Strategy gurus!
At the seminar, you will
receive a copy of Lynda
Gratton’s book Hot Spots
2. She is a clear thought leader in the organization, human systems domain.
Her work consistently helps shape how organizations can build capabili-
ties that nurture individual talent. I am always anxious for her latest work
because I know it will inform my thinking. She works at the leading and
innovative edge of organization thinking. She has a knack for working
inside companies but finding general trends that cut across companies.
She writes clearly and elegantly. She presents with passion and insight.
Those who hear her speak will be informed, nourished, and richly blessed.
Professor Dave Ulrich, University of Michigan about Lynda Gratton.
You always know when you’re in a Hot Spot. You feel energized and alive.
Your brain is buzzing with ideas and the people around you share your
excitement. These are times when you and your colleagues’ thinking
become clearer, when adding value becomes more possible. Times when
ideas and insights from others combine with your own in a process of syn-
thesis to produce eureka moments, ground breaking ideas and innovations.
Hot Spots can be discovered in teams, at department away days, in meet-
ing rooms or factories, at conferences or by the water cooler - any place
where people work together in exceptionally creative and collaborative
ways. Drawing on her work with leading organizations including Nokia,
Goldman Sachs, Reuters and BP, Lynda Gratton explores the organizational
and operational processes they’ve put in place to help ignite Hot Spots –
and realize their competitive potential. She shares the principles for ena-
bling Hot Spots to emerge and flourish.
Lynda Gratton will explain how all organizations can increase the likelihood
of break-through innovations taking place, and the role that HR can play in
helping to create the mindsets, relationships and ways of organising that
energise people and enable them to engage and enable the organization to
win in new markets.
Participants will leave the seminar with the ability to:
n Understand the value that Hot Spots create in companies
n Identify and understand which elements are crucial for the emergence
of Hot Spots
n Examine how your role in your company can support and develop the
context in which Hot Spots flourish
The event is aimed at HR professionals from private and public organiza-
tions, who wish to succeed in creating a long-term success that lasts. You
will learn how to increase the emergence of innovation and energy in your
organisation. You will understand what it takes to create Hot Spots that add
value and ensure the company’s sustainability.
We look forward to seeing you at the event!

Her more recent book, The Democratic Enterprise, was described by Financial Times as a work of important scholarship. Her

tions Buzz with Energy - and Others Don’t
When energy flares between people; when coop-
eration flourishes and ideas become contagious;
when work is exciting, new possibilities appear
and innovation happens…That is a Hot Spot, and it
has the power to propel teams towards goals they
never believed were achievable.
Teams who ignite a Hot Spot are energized,
vibrantly alive and buzzing with inspiration. They
know that, working together, they will achieve
something brilliant, important and purposeful. The
energy is palpable, bright, shining.
Hot Spots, is the final part of Lynda Gratton’s tril-
ogy of books (the first two being Living Strategy
and The Democratic Enterprise), which take
an optimistic, humane approach to people and
work. Through her research and experience she
has shown that work can be fulfilling, engaging,
meaningful and an important part of our happi-
ness. Hot Spots shows managers how it is done.
Although based on world class scholarship and
research, this is essentially a pragmatic and prac-
tical book. It describes Hot Spots, what they are
and how they work. It also lays down the principles
for creating the right environment for one to
emerge (although managers are warned that you
cannot command a Hot Spot to appear).
Hot Spots captures the management zeitgeist,
details the new ways of working and
looks to the future of the world of work.
