Digitization comes in many shapes and sizes. One megatrend is ubiquous: the rise of the intelligent digital mesh. We are entering a world where the economy becomes a programmable economy of things. Where society requires a new balance of human and non human agency. A world where strategy, technology and design are all in the same melting pot. Where things that were once mainly atoms now more and more become bits.
Businesses are dancing with digital systems. Investment management is more difficult than ever, with shorter technology cycles and wicked tipping points. Organisations have to raise their digital quotient to improve on the knowledge of digital. They also have to come to terms with the demands of digital for their businesses, proceses, structures and the competitive landscape. They need to create focus and eliminate guesswork and diffusion.
As an entrepreneur, a senior manager director in an enterprising company or in the public domain the demands and opportunities of digital life are an issue to be dealt with. Yet, digital initiatives too often get lost in the mire of the daily operations. Kanso helps you to focus on what digitalisation can do for you, and helps to get digital transformation done.
Being digital native is geared towards business owners, senior professionals and executive management of forward-thinking, progressive companies. We help you to bring purity, simplicity and minimalism to your digital transformation.
Our design thinking driven approach provides the smartest way to get digital transformation done. We apply the modes of design thinking and the quick, easy and effective Kanso Toolbox to get you and the team through digital transformation with sustainable results. Throughout the process it generates engagement, alignment and clarity of expectations.
Raising your digital IQ is a sensible investment. Digital Intelligence (DQ) is a comprehensive set of technical, cognitive, meta-cognitive, and socio-emotional competencies that are grounded in universal moral values and that enable individuals to face the challenges and harness the opportunities of digital life. You are better aware of the demands of digital life, and become a better digital co-creator or citizen.
It is important to understand and use the technologies that make organisations more intelligent. There is a wealth of information on both trends and emerging technologies available, so making sense of digital and digital technologies can be a full time job.
Digtal trends develop over time. They have a past, a present and a future. Artificial Intelligence is in virtually every existing technology, and a thorough understanding and competence in this field benefits your performance. Digital itself can be seen as a trend, especially when it refers not only to digitization but to the mash up of the digital and physical worlds and new immersive interfaces to these worlds. We see this world to become predominantly distributed by nature, no longer hierarchical organised.
Digital strategies should be bold, practical and well thought out. After all, as Michal Porter said “the essence of strategy is choosing what not to do”. Unfortunately, digital transformation in general seems to suffer from a lack of focus. Crafting a digital strategy is no luxury. It is a bare necessity in contemporary business and nowadays organisations. When whereas the possibilities of digital seem endlessly, and the budgets accordingly infinite, a proper digital strategy effectively and condignly tells everyone in the enterprise what to do. And even more important, what not to do. And most important, it shares a common understanding of why you want to do what you want to do in digital, and what you will do to get there.
Good digital governance is not an easy matter. In many organisations, IT has become a sort of state within the state. Rules should be there to make life easier for all of us, but often are used to intervene, demarcate and restrict. Alignment with non-IT often seems a laborious job, with no results whatsoever. And from the non-IT viewpoint, often a closed community with strange, incomprehensive rules and rituals is visible. That backfires not only in terms of productivity and costs, but also in quality of work life.
