Anything that can be connected will be
connected.
- What if your alarm clock wakes up you at 6 am and then notifies your
coffee maker to start brewing coffee for you?
- What if your office equipment knew when it was running low on
supplies and automatically re-ordered more?
Connection of any device with an on and off switch to the Internet
(and/or to each other). This includes everything from cell phones,
coffee makers, washing machines, headphones, lamps, wearable
devices and almost anything else you can think of.

Cloud Computing
In the new Information Age, cloud computing
provides on-demand self-service, anytime and
anywhere by pooling of computing resources for
multiple users or organizations.
Cloud Computing: Potential for
Acceleration
• Rapid Acceleration of services and
applications for internet clients.
• Increasing SMEs who don’t have resources to
build and manage extensive IT infrastructure.
Mtn workshop 1   digital disruption
Competing in the Digital Age
• Digitization lowers barriers, disaggregates
value chains, and creates opening for focused,
fast moving competitors.
• Digital Capabilities increasingly determine
which companies create value or lose value.
What is your Competitive Strategy
• Buy or sell Businesses in your portfolio?
- Profitability of some businesses become less attractive in a digital
world. Companies that Lack sufficient scale or expect significant digital
downside should consider divesting businesses.
• Lead your customers or follow them?
- Inaction is risky
• Cooperate and compete with attackers?
- Digital technologies are opening a pathway to collaborative forms of
innovation
What is your competitive Strategy
Diversify or Double down on digital Initiatives?
- While diversification reduces risks, new initiative however innovative can be easily
replicated by competitors.
Keep Digital Businesses separate or integrate them
with current non digital ones?
- Companies with diverse business portfolios could use a hybrid approach to create a
standalone and a well-integrated digital organization.
Delegate or own the digital agenda?
- CEOs can choose to own and direct the digital agenda personally, top down.
- Chief Digital Officer can be hired to drive digital agenda, however, this carries some
risks of balkanization
Differentiating yourself in the Digital
Age
Traits of Effective Digital Companies
Be unreasonably Aspirational:
- If your targets aren't making the majority of your company feel nervous,
you probably aren't aiming high enough
Acquire capabilities:
- Buy scarce talent. Hire for skills and not experience. The best people in
product management or user experience may not be in your industry. Hire
them anyway.
Challenge Everything:
- Look out how everything in your business is done and ask ‘why’ Assume
there is an unknown start-up asking the exact same question as it plots to
disrupt your business.
Be quick and data driven:
- Rapid decision making is critical in dynamic digital environment. Adopt
methods such as agile development and live beta , supported by big data
analysis, to increase the pace of innovation
Follow the money:
- Digital transformation is more than just finding new revenue streams. It’s
also about creating value by reducing the cost of doing business
Obsessed with the customer:
- A healthy obsession with improving customer experience is the
foundation of any digital transformation
Last Words . . .
The emergent nature of digital forces means
that harnessing them is a journey, not a
destination - a relentless leadership experience
and a rare opportunity to reposition companies
for a new era of competition and growth.
