Digital platforms are becoming strategically important for companies to enable digital transformation and innovations. A digital platform allows companies to integrate devices, business applications, and customer data to develop new digital business models and revenue streams. Companies need to partner with platform providers and take a design thinking approach to rapidly prototype solutions and scale fast through cloud infrastructure and global consulting services. Acting now to build solutions on a digital platform will help companies grow in a digital world.

THE DIGITAL INNOVATORS DILEMMA

asked people
what they
wanted, they
would have
said faster horses.”
- Henry Ford

GET READY TO GROW IN A DIGITAL WORLD

KEY TAKEAWAYS – FOREMOST: ACT NOW
» Digital business innovations require new approaches like Design Thinking and
Minimum Viable/Lovable Product
» Customer specific business solutions are built on top of the digital (IoT) platform
» Software and digital (IoT) platforms become strategic. CEOs have to think
“Software First”: it is the driver for innovation in a digital world
» Digital (IoT) platforms have to integrate into the device world AND into the
business applications space with many brownfield elements still in place
» Companies need to forge (IoT) partnerships and allow for co-creation
