Chris Gabriel, VP of Solutions Management at Logicalis Group, explores the world of ‘Big Data’, to look at the impact of ‘internet time’ on decision-making and the increasingly central role of business analytics in driving long term competitiveness.
Defining Digital Transformation - the researchTom Rieger
Everyone is talking about it but not many are doing it. Or they think they are and doing it wrong.... I am talking about defining 'digital transformation'. In working with Lane Severson we completed some great research where nearly 200 executives in the LOB and IT helped us give their take on their present state and where they WANT to go.
Hard to go on a 'digital transformation' journey if you aren't sure what it is.
Of all the current technology buzzwords and expressions being made popular by IT sales people (cloud, artificial intelligence, internet of things… and so on) ‘big’ data is the one that often comes over as the most intimidating for smaller businesses.
In the first interview in this series, which kicks off PwC’s 2018 CEO Survey, chief executive Safra Catz explains the broad culture shift brought on by AI and cloud technologies.

Social CRM: The New Rules of Relationship ManagementJeremiah Owyang
18 Use Cases That Show Business How to Finally Put Customers First.
Customers continue to adopt social technologies at a blinding speed – yet organizations are unable to keep up. Why? Rapid adoption of social networking enables users to connect with individuals and communities who share mutual interests, increasingly leaving organizations out of the conversation. Simply hiring more people to keep up with social marketing, sales, and support will not be sufficient, as consumers and their new channels will always outnumber employees. As a result, companies need an organized approach using enterprise software that connects business units to the social web – giving them the opportunity to respond in near-real time, and in a coordinated fashion.
Mission Critical Use Cases Show How Analytics Architectures Usher in an Artif...Dana Gardner
A discussion on how artificial intelligence and advanced analytics solutions coalesce into top competitive differentiators that prove indispensable for digital business transformation.
The use of new forms of data is not an evolution. Instead, powering big data supply chains, and innovating through new forms of analytics, is a step change.
New forms of data do not fit traditional architectures. Traditional supply chains were architected to use structured data with software using relational databases. The big data era will make many of the investments from the last decade obsolete.
Big data offers the opportunity to redefine supply chain processes from the outside-in (from the channel back) and define the customer-centric supply chain. This is in stark contrast to the inflexible IT investments installed over the last decade to respond inside-out based on order shipments. These traditional investments in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Advanced Planning Systems (APS) and traditional Business Intelligence (BI) for reporting, improved the supply chain response, but did not allow the organization to sense, shape or orchestrate outside-in. New forms of data (e.g., images, social data, sensor transmission, input from global positioning systems (GPS), the Internet of Things, and unstructured text from email, blogs and ratings and reviews) offer new opportunities. They also require new techniques and technologies.
Big data offers new opportunities for the corporation to listen, test and learn, and respond faster. In this study, companies see the greatest opportunity to use big data for “demand” (to better know the customer and improve the response); however, actual investments are in “supply” not “demand.” Respondents view supply-centric projects like product traceability (involving product serialization and traceability), supply chain visibility and temperature controlled handling as important.
Is big data a problem or a new market opportunity? Like the respondents of this survey, we believe that big data represents an opportunity for all. In the study, one-fourth of respondents currently have a big data initiative. However, interest is growing. Sixty-five percent have or plan to have a big data initiative in the future. Despite the hype, and the intensity of marketing rhetoric in the market, in our year-over-year studies on big data we see very little change in activity.
Despite the fact that the IT group is more likely to see big data as a problem, 49% of those with a big data initiative report that it is headed by an IT leader.
Big data represents a new opportunity, but seizing it requires a new form of leadership. It can ignite new business models and drive channel opportunities. However, it cannot be big data for big data itself. Instead, the initiatives need to be aligned to business objectives with a focus on small and iterative projects. It requires innovation. To move forward, companies need to embrace new technologies and redesign processes. It is not the case of stuffing new forms of data into old processes.
Firms, Collective Intelligence and Sustainability : MIT Crowds and Climate Co...Peter C. Evans, PhD
Can firms harness collective intelligence and advance sustainability goals? How large is the intersection between digital tools that permit expanding collaborative networks and reducing the time and cost of innovation?
These were some of the areas discussed at the Crowds and Climate conference held at MIT on November 6-8th organized by the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence.
Peter Evans, Vice President at Center for Global Enterprise, participated in a plenary panel with Nancy Pfund Founder and Managing Partner, DBL Investors and Otto Scharmer, Senior Lecturer, MIT; Founding Chair, Presencing Institute. Jason Jay, Director, MIT Sloan Sustainability Initiative served as the session moderator.
Evans’ presentation focused on the how firms can leverage the power of internal networks through the use of digital platform tools and crowdsourcing.
External AnalysisThe external analysis will use various framewor.docxssuser454af01
External Analysis
The external analysis will use various frameworks to analyze the following: changes and trends in the environment, Porter’s Five Forces industry analysis, competitor analysis, industry segmentation and demand issues and opportunities in the industry.
This section will use frameworks to describe the external factors, such as environmental changes, industry position and competitors, that affect Atlassian. It will include a brief introduction to the company, changes and trends in the environment, industry analysis, analysis of existing competitors and industry segmentation and demand issues. These analyses provide a description of the industry landscape, which allows for informed and thoughtful conception of opportunities in the industry.
P.E.S.T.E.L. Analysis
A P.E.S.T.E.L. analysis looks at six segments, political, economic, social, technological, environmental and legal, to describe the business climate. Political and economic changes that affect Atlassian include Brexit and the 2016 election of United States President, Donald Trump. These two political events have caused the U.S. dollar to strengthen, while foreign currencies have weakened. This is a good change for Atlassian, as the company solely accepts U.S. dollar as payment, but incurs costs in various foreign currencies from countries in which it operates. Social changes include the trends of inclusion and acceptance of all people. Atlassian is vocal about being a proponent of inclusion for all. This is also positive for Atlassian, as it makes the company attractive to the rising number of consumers who support these values. Two changes in the technology segment that affect Atlassian are cloud computing and X-as-a-Service business models. To stay relevant considering these trends, more companies will develop digital products to add to their portfolio. One of Atlassian’s main targets for its products is software development teams, so this change will increase its number of potential customers. An environmental trend is climate change, and the idea that companies have corporate social responsibility (CSR) to reduce their affect and impact on the environment. Software companies as a rule are ‘green’, having only two main inputs: humans and electricity. Atlassian is no exception to this rule. Potential trends in the legal segment could have negative impacts on Atlassian. One possibility is cyber security laws. As they mature, Atlassian’s product development and delivery could be impacted by higher security standards. Secondly, U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed increased import tariffs. Atlassian’s products are subject to U.S. import laws, and so this could increase their expenses. Analyzing trends in these segments provides an explanation of Atlassian’s current and future business climate.

Every year around this time a group of us at Tableau try to slow down and take a look around. We take some time to talk about what’s happening in the market—what’s new, what’s surprising, what’s meaningful. And what a time to be in the world of data and analytics! Smart new platforms are launched seemingly every month. Organizations are starting to see the benefits of broadly empowering people with data. People are using data in ways that were science fiction just a couple of years ago.
It’s always a great discussion. It’s this discussion that drives our Top 10 Trends in Business Intelligence for 2015.

Social Intelligence in the Age of Infobesity - A Verifeed White PaperMelinda Wittstock
Think about what makes information valuable to you, your brand or business. If you want to improve your bottom line you need access to data that is trustworthy, accurate, and from credible sources. It also needs to be relevant, contextual, and timely – you also want to be able to access it before anyone else so you can act faster and more confidently than your competitors.
If your brand or businesses is not harnessing social media to gain insights into customer preferences, motivations and behaviors you’re ignoring a goldmine of information. Did you know that 97% of relevant social posts are missed by most marketers?
This White Paper by Verifeed CEO and Founder Melinda Wittstock tells you how to leverage billions of social conversations and find a clear signal in all the noise of trusted social intelligence.
An excerpt: "Top brands and many businesses have gotten good at pushing out their messages on social networks...Now there’s an added imperative to pull in social data to provide valuable insights into how a campaign, product or price point is being perceived, what people think about a brand (or a competitor’s brand), or events and developments people are talking about that may impact sales, improve a marketing campaign, or effect a product. Social data can also help identify the people who may be interested in purchasing a new product or service, or may influence others’ purchasing habits. It can also drive consumer loyalty and viral ‘word of mouth’ through the development of deeper personal, authentic relationships with targeted consumers. The companies doing it best integrate social data in a ‘push’ and ‘pull’ strategy across all marketing channels with a ‘customer-first’ ethic it becomes that necessitates combining real-time engagement, content creation, data management, and real time actionable analytics."
But how trustworthy is the data? And how can accuracy be assured in real time? What are the limitations and promises of sentiment, natural language processing and other algorithmic solutions? And why does it all come down to trust?

5. A Vision
On the front-end, computer-aided design
systems speed up the design process and the
marketing process too, allowing for more
options, models and customized products…
Computer-aided engineering
systems help clarify the
manufacturing process – expert
systems instantly translate drawings
into manufacturing execution
plans…

6. A Vision
Computer-integrated manufacturing systems
sort out and guide the whole operations
scheme…electronic data interchange
routines hook the whole lot up to suppliers
and the purchasing process
on the one end…
…and every member of the
distribution channel (from the
wholesalers and dealers to the
ultimate end-users)
on the other.

7. A Vision
The whole system links in real time, as updated
information in the process is simultaneously fed
to almost everyone, regardless of rank or
vertical location in the hierarchy.”
“And if that isn’t enough
information, an army of
independent data vendors are
providing timely, inexpensive data
about everything and everyone
to everyone else.”

13. Assimilation
Linkages in the Demand Chain,
the Supply Chain, and the Value Chain
You have to assimilate into the business flow.
There is no option. You either fit,
or don’t fit, at a hundred
different interface points
(or thousands). The less
you fit, the more it costs
somebody – time , energy and
money…

Assimilation
14. Assimilation
…and that somebody is either the client, the
customer, a supplier, or you.
Multiple negative fits upstream
leads to no contracts.
Multiple negative fits
downstream erodes profits
and leads to loss of contracts.
Assimilation is just as important as
differentiation.

Differentiation
17. Differentiation
Differentiation is a science and an art.
As a science, a company differentiates itself
by either adding value or lowering cost
The art is knowing how to do it,
when to do it, and where to do it.

18. Dialogue
Dialogue is the lifeblood of sustainable business.
It should be real, it should be rich, and it should
be flowing continually.
The best selling Harvard Business Review
article ever written states that one
of the most significant things
that cause change efforts
to fail is under-communication,
usually by more than a factor of
ten.

21. Why Should They Buy From You?
Have you presented a new idea to them lately?
What are your thoughts to best reduce their costs?
Are your complete capabilities known to them? Are they currently
using you? Why or why not?
Do you tell them promptly of new concepts and trends, and also
new ways to use their existing concepts?
What is your approach to quality? Do you know the quality and
the cost-effectiveness of your offerings – or do you just think you
do – or do you assume it is okay unless you receive complaints?
What are you doing to improve the effectiveness and the relevance
of your offerings?
Have you established a record of deliverable reliability with them?
Or with anyone else?
What is your business ethics policy?
