“There has never been a time of greater promise, or greater peril.”
- Klaus Schwab
To win in this digital age, technology alone is not enough. Success in the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) demands that business leaders create new market spaces that rely on dynamic relationships with ecosystem partners while simultaneously energizing highly productive, autonomous teams through the pursuit of new organizational and cultural systems that break down hierarchies to support rapid and exponential growth models.
Contemporary organizations need to address critical societal and environmental issues that, together with digitalization, are creating the “dynamic stability” that has become the new normal. Much of this tremendous velocity of change is due to the non-linear, exponential, and combinatorial innovation of digital technologies. Along with the right human capital who continually learn, imagine, and break through obstacles, a 4IR organization becomes digital at its core.
While there are ongoing geopolitical and policy challenges, it is apparent that digital, global social, commercial, and data flows will continue to grow exponentially, resulting in an ever more connected and interdependent world. As our “global village” is now built entirely on digital foundations, these predominant social platforms and their communities now exceed the population of most countries.
Even as global environmental forums such as #COP26 engage governments to commit to decarbonization targets and to deliver on financial commitments, progressive 4IR companies are setting their sights on net-zero carbon emissions. Increasingly robust ESG metrics are designed to satisfy risk-averse investors and citizens who demand transparency and clarity from businesses on these commitments.
Digital transformation, then, is the aggregate impact of these forces. Advanced digital technologies converge with each other and with humans, redefining the purpose and value of human work. Globalization and its interconnected nature bleed across borders, opening up new markets and rewarding disruptive innovators, often with low costs of entry. The “ticking” climate crisis and concern about future pandemics is inexorably drawing governments, businesses, workers, and citizens into a short-fused core dialogue.
