Download or read book The Innovator s Imperative written by Stephen J Andriole and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pace of technological change is accelerating, hyper competition is growing, opportunities for business model disruption are exploding, and comprehensive cloud delivery is readily available. These factors challenge every aspect of business technology strategy. The Innovator’s Imperative: Rapid Technology Adoption for Digital Transformation prepares twenty-first century businesses leaders for competing and leading in this disruptive digital environment. Five years of research conducted by the authors suggests that leading companies have all but abandoned the requirements analysis and modeling best practices of the twentieth century. Accordingly, the authors put forth the innovator’s imperative that contends: All companies wanting to be competitive should adopt emerging and disruptive technologies as quickly as possible, and in many cases, immediately. Technology is driving business strategy, and companies are rethinking their technology strategy, especially the governance that determines how and why technology investments are made. Based on their research the authors have developed a five-step framework for digital transformation: Model and simulate Identify high-leverage opportunities Prioritize transformational targets Identify digital opportunities Find courageous leaders The book explains each of these steps to guide business leaders in architecting digital transformation projects according to their organization’s market positions, budgets, objectives, and corporate culture. Hyper-competitive, disruptive companies are jumping across technology adoption phases without regard to any phasing whatsoever. Companies focused on digital transformation often adopt emerging technologies immediately. They have become early adopters of technologies that can impact existing—and create whole new—business models and processes. This book examines this jump into new technologies, processes, and business models to prepare twenty-first century business leaders to make that leap.

Download or read book Disruptive Technology and Digital Transformation for Business and Government written by Sandhu, Kamaljeet and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-05-07 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the far-reaching global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand and the necessity for digital enterprise transformation have accelerated exponentially. Management and strategies for the adoption and wider usage of newer digital technologies for the transformation of an enterprise through digital tools such as real-time video communications have shown that people no longer need to be required to be physically present in the same place; rather, they can be geographically dispersed. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, digital banking, and cloud data have taken over tasks that were initially done by human hands and have increased both the automation and efficiency of tasks and the accessibility of information and services. Inclusion of all these newer technologies has shown the fast pace at which the digital enterprise transformation is rapidly evolving and how new ecosystems are reshaping the digital enterprise model. Disruptive Technology and Digital Transformation for Business and Government presents interesting research on digital enterprise transformation at different stages and across different settings within government and industry, along with key issues and deeper insights on the core problems and developing solutions and recommendations for digital enterprise transformation. The chapters examine the three core leaders of transformation: the people such as managers, employees, and customers; the digital technology such as artificial intelligence and robotics; and the digital enterprise, including the products and services being transformed. They unravel the underlying process for management and strategies to fully incorporate new digital tools and technologies across all aspects of an enterprise undergoing transformation. This book is ideally intended for managers, executives, IT consultants, business professionals, government officials, researchers, students, practitioners, stakeholders, academicians, and anyone else looking to learn about new developments in digital enterprise transformation of business systems from a global perspective.

This book was released on 2018-11-04 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Digital Transformation, why is it so important and why do so many transformation projects fail? More importantly, what can we do to make our transformation initiative succeed? These are a few of the profound questions that we seek to answer in this book. The anomaly between the number of digital transformation being undertaken and the high failure rate may be due to not enough transformation initiatives taking a holistic approach that encompasses people, culture, organisations, processes, business strategy and objectives into the overall mix instead they are focusing largely on the technology. Therefore in this book we contemplate a holistic approach to digital transformation across the entire spectrum of the business from the perspective of an enterprise or manufacturer. Hence we start with people, culture and the need for agile business development when transforming processes, products and services or business models. We examine the how and why we align and tightly couple business objectives to transformation initiatives. Importantly, we examine the need for company-wide collaboration and integration of data, knowledge, processes and systems and the huge benefits initiatives such as data-democratization can deliver. Then we delve deeper into the specific drivers for successful transformation across a very broad range of business functions from the perspective of IT and Operations, Finance, HR, Sales & Marketing, Manufacturing, Inventory, Supply chain and Post-sales service. We also examine how technology and processes such as the IoT and advanced data analysis have brought about Industry 4.0 and the Smart Factory not through technology upgrades and point solutions but through a holistic approach to digital transformation. A holistic approach to digital transformation, places people, culture, knowledge, capabilities, and decision-making as the pillars supporting the overall organisation's business strategy, objectives and mission values that are built upon a foundation of technology and processes. Successful digital transformation initiatives do not lose their focus on the overarching business strategy and company objectives being the goal, it's not about technology it is about creating new business value at the strategic level. And in this book we will show you how to do it.What is Digital Transformation, why is it so important and why do so many transformation projects fail?

Download or read book Perspective On Holistic Engineering Management A Learning Adapting And Creating Value written by Robert J Aslett and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-02-02 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, a prosperous technology company can be disrupted and put out of business in a blink of an eye. The development of many different technologies that once took years can be done in months or weeks. There are also few examples where the engineering work is completely contained in one company or one engineering organization. Business strategies have evolved. The analysis of competitive forces in an industry has matured to include the concepts of disruptive innovation and coopetition.In an ecosystem characterized by rapid changes in technology and how it is developed, an engineering R&D organization will quickly become irrelevant if it fails to keep the pace of innovation needed to succeed. This book provides readers with a holistic approach to engineering management.We have seen that successful managers create a strong foundation of a common culture that enables learning, value creation, diversity and inclusion. They create organizations that tightly connect the core engineering functions of strategic planning, research and development and are able to comprehend and direct a broader R&D system that stretches well beyond their own organization's boundary. Doing all of this to extract the greatest value in the least amount of time is what we call holistic engineering management.The content for this book is based on over 105 years of combined experience working in a rapidly changing industry. In most chapters, practical examples and case studies of the concepts provided are given. As noted in the foreword by Pat Gelsinger (CEO, VMWare) and in comments from other technology leaders: Aart de Geus (Chairman and co-CEO, Synopsys, Inc.), Aicha Evans (CEO, Zoox, Inc.), William M Holt, (former Executive VP, GM, Intel, Corp.), and Amir Faintuch (Senior VP, GM, GlobalFoundries, Inc.), this book will be valuable for students of engineering management and current engineering managers.

This book was released on 2023-02-17 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost a century since the idea of creating more humane — more human-centric — cities was brought to the fore, how far has mankind progressed towards creating a true 'city with a heart'? How far off are we, and what can we do to close the gap?The first generation of smart cities showed the limits of top-down planning, in which cities contracted out design and implementation to IT providers. As residents resented paying high taxes for 'smart' urban features that they did not want or use, it became plain that smart cities were not sustainable, and needed to be re-thought. 'Smart City 2.0' starts the design process with understanding the needs of human residents. Little has yet been written about smart cities' second wind.This book offers leading-edge, international perspectives on Smart City 2.0. It offers an overview of the sustainable smart city concept, presents leading experts' latest thinking on strategies for a new generation of smart cities, and showcases eight implementation case studies from seven countries. All chapters are contributed by prominent, leading thinkers and practitioners from a dozen countries, representing both the developed and the developing worlds.Related Link(s)
