This is a 2015 deck - somewhat outdated but contextually still very relevant.
According to World Economic Forum, we are in the midst of 4th Industrial Revolution triggered by FUSION of technologies! Convergence of these Digital Technologies is already disrupting existing and well established business models! Please note that this deck has not been touched since early 2016 (uploading just now in mid-2017), so some aspects might be little bit outdated. I would love to hear your thoughts in comments, and do not hesitate if you wish to discuss specifics or engage in a deeper conversation on how we can help you shine through your Digital Journey.

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.

What is Digital transformation?
Far too often digital transformation is confused with Digitalization or with Digitization with a key focus on technologies or platform. But Digital transformation is not about technologies: it's about transforming the whole prganisation through a system thinking approach and it's about rethinking operational models, business models, processes, and policies, taking people, both employees and customers at the core of the process.
Because the goal of any digital transformation is to increase value creation for the business through digitally enhanced processes that increase internal efficiency and overall customer and employee satisfaction.
Digital transformation is en emergent need in today's post-industrial society: we moved fast from an industrial to a post-industrial era, however operational models and management practices haven't evolved fast enough.
For this reason, many organisations prefer to think of Digital transformation as the adoption of digital technologies on the top of mainly inefficient and obsolete operational models, rather than facing a true in depth transformation that begins with understanding the current culture, the customers, and the overall business.
These slides, were presented to students from IIM (india) at ESPC London on July 27th 2017 with the goal to provide tomorrow's digital leaders a broad vision of what is digital transformation by looking at what and the reasons why change is happening in the business world, define Digital transformation and its dimensions through the lenses of an Experience economy and a post-industrial era. The presentation also presents the Competing Value Framework as a key tool to start understanding organsation's culture and define a digital transformation roadmap and strategy.

Digital Business Transformation | Strategy + Executionfeature[23]
Speed of innovation and certainty of your digital technology strategy is your new IP.
Market leading brands know they are competing in the 3rd Industrial Revolution – The Software Economy – and they will live or die by their digital adoption. Companies mature in digital business transformation are outperforming, making more money, and are more profitable than their peers.
These Digital Leaders are proactively transforming their business models and leading their segments through the frenetic pace of social, mobile, analytics, cloud, and the Internet of Everything. Unfortunately, digital is still shrouded in confusion, viewed as a cost center, and punished with inadequate funding.
How do you transform modern businesses at scale by creating technology-based capabilities, products, services, and business outcomes that delivers your authentic brand promise?

Enterprises can survive digital disruption as well as grow revenue, improve profitability and increase market valuation — if they start rethinking what they do.
Digital transformation. It’s the use of technology to create a better customer experience, improve products and services, and increase the effectiveness of business operations. But it really means what your enterprise must do to adapt and thrive.
Today’s smaller, emerging companies are born digital. They can — and do — change quickly to answer consumer demand or a competitive offering. Larger, mature enterprises must start with a shift in strategy, because all industries will be changed or already have been changed by digital transformation. Many, like news media and publishers, music, video and retail have been or significantly disrupted. Up next: financial services, healthcare manufacturing, insurance, legal, education, utilities and energy. The good news? No industry has been or will be completely upended.
The first step is to recognize that disruption does not have to be a mass-extinction event. Enterprises can survive as well as grow revenue, improve profitability and increase market valuation. Here’s how to start rethinking what you do.
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?

8 Pillars of Demand Generation InfographicScott Levine
The 8 Pillars Of Demand Generation
An Infographic of the Modern Demand Generation Ecosystem
Demand generation and lead generation are often used synonymously, but they are actually quite different.
The 8 Pillars of demand generation were developed to address a wide range of topics that include everything from building awareness to sales enablement.
Demand generation is typically a multistep integrated marketing and sales process that varies in size and scope based on sales complexity. Demand generation can include building awareness, positioning and consumer research to support purchase behavior, sales enablement, customer onboarding and post-sale customer satisfaction.
Lead Generation: Strictly speaking, lead generation is the process of generating interest in a product or service. Typically, leads are gathered to build a list that provides contacts for sales.

The Digital Enterprise Vol 5 - A Framework for TransformationStuart Lamb
We outline the many aspects of digital transformation and a roadmap for getting there. This issue of Perspectives exudes the enthusiasm and capabilities that TCS has in
supporting the transformation ahead.
Many organisations are struggling to implement and drive their digital transformations. Only about 30% of digital transformations efforts actually succeed. Mostly because going digital is a complex process with many internal and external pressures. Organisations need to understand what transformations entails, avoid the pitfalls and and carefully consider each facet of digital transformation. Only then can they turn ambition into achievement. In this playbook, we have identified the nine traits of companies that win at digital transformation. We will see what defined their success and how they achieved it. And we will discuss how we can help companies reach their digital transformations goals.
7 considerations to your digital transformation journeyTarang Rai
This new era of digital transformation brought about by the emergence of new technologies like mobile, cloud, analytics, Internet of Things etc., is highly reminiscent of the e-business era. There are many business opportunities to pursue, enabling technologies to be utilized, and customers to be influenced.
Are you a Digital Transformation leader? Can you create a high-performance strategy in the digital age? Have you got what it takes to avoid the tumbling barrels of distracting digital tactics, over hyped technology or the belief that your market is immune to disruption? Have you allocated the right resources to deliver a focused plan of transformation?
The digital advantage: how digital leaders outperform their peers in every in...Ben Gilchriest
Executives in every industry – from media to electronics to paint manufacturing – face a bewildering array of new digital opportunities. They are paying attention, but they have few signposts to guide them. Most stories in the business media focus on fast-moving startups like Zynga and Pinterest, or on a few large high-tech firms like Apple, Google, or Amazon. Unfortunately, to many leaders, stories of these nimble and innovative firms just do not make sense for traditional companies that are older, larger, and burdened with inflexible legacies.
In two years of study covering more than 400 large firms (See About the Research), we found that most large firms are already taking action. They are using technologies like social media, mobile, analytics and embedded devices to change their customer engagement, internal operations and even their business models. But few firms have positioned themselves to capture the real business benefits. Our research points to a real “digital advantage” to those that do.
Digital maturity matters. It matters in every industry. And the approaches that digitally mature companies use can be adopted by any company that has the leadership drive to do so.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
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.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
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. Executive Summary
This presentation is designed to share our knowledge and
thought leadership on recent advances in digital technologies.
We also outline steps you can take to digitally remaster your
organization and become a digital leader in your industry. While this
deck is not designed to pitch our services to you, we look forward
to an opportunity to bring our expertise to help make your digital
transformation journey a great success story.
In this digital age, we have been enjoying great many benefits afforded to us
by a massive technological shift created by fusion of many modern-day
technologies. Proliferation of digital technologies across every corner of the
globe - in hands and homes of more than 3.2 Billion people, has forever
changed the way business operates. During recent years, we have also
witnessed many digital disruptors develop entirely new business models to
become formidable players in already well established industries.
As we progress further in the 21st century, enterprises in almost every
industry, and of all sizes, are realizing that unless they adopt & adapt to
these digital technologies, they will not only miss out on new market
opportunities, but risk losing out to digital savvy market entrants emerging
from unexpected places, who are relentlessly evolving business models at
higher velocity, and redrawing battle lines.

4. We are in the midst of
4th industrial revolution
triggered by fusion of technologies!
9. Every company has to become a software company… people that
deny that digitization is going to impact every corner of our lives
are going to be left behind!
- Jeff Immelt, CEO, GE
BMW sees radical future in the world of driverless cars…
50% of R&D budget allocated to Digital Technology
initiatives!
Starbucks occupies a front-row seat at the intersection of the
physical and digital worlds like no other company anywhere in or
out of retail….
- Howard Schultz, CEO, Starbucks
Organizations and their leaders need to hit the reset button in
how they use technology to drive market differentiation,
deepen customer relationships, and deliver growth and profitability.
- Paul Daugherty, CTO, Accenture
… where digital transformation is sweeping through the global economy and
digital technologies are dissolving boundaries between industry sectors.
10. … where Digital Disruptors are taking advantage of rapidly converging technologies to discover new business models
and disrupt previously well established business models; to assume Digital Leadership role in the industry.
DISRUPTION is being used as a
Business Strategy
11.
12. Challengers that didn’t even exist few years back have managed to
use disruption as a business strategy and displaced once powerful market leaders.
The Digital Age: an unforgiving era for those who are complacent or caught off-guard!
13.
14. YES, THAT’S THE DIGITAL AGE
everyone is talking about!
Whether you are a 4 year old child, or a
C-suite Executive in a Fortune 500 corporation,
as a consumer of these technologies,
your life has already been
digitally transformed
in more than one ways.
15.
16.
17. Digital Leaders. Digital Followers. Digital Laggards.
… you may want to make a note of what Industry Pundits are predicting.

19. No Business Executive
wants to see enterprise
losing out to competition
and falling behind!
In this modern era, where Digital Disruptors are using
IT is the business. Not a cost center!
mantra…
When done right, Digitally
Transformed IT has great
potential to become a
Profit Center for your
enterprise,
Instead of a Cost Center!

21. Digital Transformation
is a journey that
enterprises undertake to
Redefine Consumer Experiences,
Optimize Operational Processes,
and
Discover New Business Models.
22. Launch / continue digital transformation Initiatives
[ Digital ]
Discover business value in heaps of enterprise and
social data [ Big Data ]
Attract top talent / Re-skill IT workforce [ Digital
Workforce ]
Adopt “as-a-Service” models to take advantage of
vendor offerings in infrastructure, platforms, and
business solutions
[ Cloud ]
Create Innovation Hubs [ Digital Labs ]

23. For vast majority of enterprises, CIO still leads the
digital transformation. However, to help meet
challenges involved in achieving this transformation,
companies are increasingly looking for a
Chief DIGITAL Officer (CDO)
who can oversee digital strategies and drive
innovation and change across the organization.
24. In a digital world, winning and retaining customers hinges on creating
value for them that enhances the convenience and quality of their
everyday lives beyond mere transactions. With more interaction,
comes more opportunity for selling. This point of view is at the heart of
the success of major digital players like Apple, Amazon, Alibaba
and Google.

2015 Digital Business Global Executives Study
MIT Sloan Management Review, Deloitte
30. Traditionally, organizations have organized their IT
Systems and Data around business functions and
transactional value of the customer.
These systems provide you with a history of what product
and services customer bought, customer profile data and
addresses, billing and payment information, service
records, etc.
31.
32.
33. Before the era of “Big Businesses”, small scale retail and service industries were mostly customer-centric! Most retail
establishments and service providers knew their customers and their preferences very well. Many of these establishments earned
loyalty and built lifelong relationships with their customers through personalizing service delivery to their customers.
The modern Digitally-powered world is “conceptually” attempting this and much more at scale once unimaginable!
34. … the aspects of customer insights discussed in previous slides might be feasible in a small
“Mom & Pop Shop” setup, but getting that type of customer insights and building such
relationships in an enterprise is a Himalayan task when we are dealing with millions of
customers and volumes at Internet scale!
Some may argue that…
Difficult? YES!
Do 'able? ABSOLUTELY!
36. When effectively applied… modern data science technologies, algorithms, and predictive analysis
leveraging your enterprise data,
combined with continuous streams of consumer and social data,
merged with publicly available digital data
can give you unparalleled capabilities and insights into your customers and their preferences.
37. a) Influence Organizational Mindset
Identify opportunities where user experience is paramount
Promote innovation at all levels within the enterprise and
encourage cross-enterprise collaboration
Availability of Everything-as-a-Service allows business users to
explore other avenues in absence of IT leading this transformation
Ignoring Digital Transformation of outdated legacy systems
increases risk of marginalized role for IT
b) Identify synergies across the enterprise
Invest in creating a Digital Services Platform
Governance framework to mitigate risks associated with
embracing innovation. Avoid overly bureaucratic processes that
stifle innovation
c) Create Innovation Hubs / Leverage Digital Labs
Utilize these structures for visionary projects to validate
assumptions, to produce quick POC, or to develop limited-
distribution solutions
Leverage our Digital Labs offering
Create multiple “startup-like” innovation hubs within the
enterprise
Organize Hackathons to allow new ideas to surface
38.
39. And there are many barriers likely to slow down your journey to digital transformation…
I. Lack of senior leadership commitment
II. Digital skills gap
III. Lack of funding to undertake technology
modernization / renewal initiatives
IV. Archaic business processes
V. Risk averse management is not willing to see
through the fog of innovation and fund visionary
projects
VI. Cultural resistance to change. Many times
resulting from a disconnect between business &
IT priorities
40. Leadership that…
is ready to embrace change
understands digital trends
promotes collaboration
promotes “bottom-up” innovation
is engaged, invested in success
and last but not least, is willing to fund visionary
projects; not just those limited by conventional
notions of what is practical or feasible
But in the end, Leadership is absolutely the most important factor in driving digital transformation of the enterprise!
41. Strategy
TechnologyDesign
Last but not least… digital transformation is not a rocket science! It’s a potent mix of Strategy + Design + Technology!
Let’s Make It Happen!
42. Many organizations think of digital Transformation as creation of a shiny new website, or replacing
existing outdated website with a new Content Management System (CMS). In reality, that is an
important, but just one small part of overall equation.
Digital Transformation…
Does not mean that you throw away every system your organization has invested in over
decades, but rather you invest into optimizing those systems, and building better, consumer-
centric business services.
Means you rethink every consumer touchpoint, evaluate every one of business processes in
context of consumer experience, and find opportunities to make them so good that people
prefer to use them.
Is not always about beating your competitors; but rather about doing the right thing, for right
reasons (otherwise, remember that governments have no competition and very little reason to
innovate).
And finally, it means that you leverage modern digital technologies to find new value, and to
differentiate your product, services, and consumer experiences.
Consumer is… user of the system. It could be your prospects, customers, employees, partners, suppliers,
service providers, or just about anybody that makes use of any given system.

To summarize…
43. DIGITAL EXPEDITION
Let’s look at few specific examples of how certain industries and market
segments are transforming in the digital age.
46. Co-created and co-designed with USCIS’
customers, myUSCIS is a major paradigm shift in
how the government designs and builds digital
services for its customers. Ultimately, it will become
the primary tool for USCIS’ customers to manage
the majority of their online experience with USCIS.
USCIS changed the way they did
business—and in the process, put their
users at the center of their work.

47. Consumer Experience Management
Miami Airport has an app that guides travelers through the Airport that
includes turn-by-turn directions guided by location-aware beacons placed
throughout the airport.

49. SMARTER CITIES
There are dozens of startups working hard to redefine citizen experience for range of services including urban planning,
transportation, parking, and even waste management; either to gobble up market share from incumbents OR fill-in the void left by
complacent market leaders who have fallen behind in the digital race and missed some lucrative business opportunities!
50. DIGITAL BANKING
There are countless number of startups working hard to redefine the entire consumer banking and financial services
experience; either to gobble up market share from incumbents OR fill-in the void left by complacent market leaders who have
fallen behind in the digital race and missed some lucrative business opportunities!
