The Digital Enterprise Wave

The Digital Enterprise Wave

1. People and the internet – people’s association and interaction with the web as a mental, social and physical extension of themselves

2. Computing, communications and storage everywhere – the ability to interface with digital technology, data and the web anywhere, anytime on any device

3. The “Internet of Things” – the digital linking of inanimate objects, or “the instrumentation of the physical world”

4. Artificial intelligence and big data – the ability to access and analyze vast and disparate data, along with the ability for computers to make decisions based on this data

5. The sharing economy and distributed trust – digitally-enabled transparency and trust mechanisms that allow direct exchange of goods, services or money between parties outside of traditional establishments such as stores and banks

6. The digitization of matter – 3D-printing and the creating of physical materials on the spot (personalized or on a small scale) based on digitally transmitted parameters

World Economic Forum – 6 megatrends

Digital Business Value CreationDepending on the business, the impact of digital transformation will vary – but will drive significant value

Bottom line = value creation

“At the height of its power, the photography company Kodak employed more than 140,000 people and was worth $28 billion. They even invented the first digital camera. But today Kodak is bankrupt, and the new face of digital photography has become Instagram. When Instagram was sold to Facebook for $1 billion, it employed only 13 people. Where did all those jobs disappear? And what happened to the wealth that all those middle-class jobs created?”
