Knowledge Flow: Digital means flow, data flow, information flow, and insight flow; knowledge does not stand still! It flows into the company, it flows out of it, it erodes; it gets created, and hopefully, it flows to the customers of the company in terms of product and service delivery as well. There is a shift from more traditional knowledge management approaches to techniques that involve enhancing the "flow" of knowledge within a high mature digital organization to improve access and use. As the accepted industrial model of knowledge management is too hierarchical, too centralized for the fast-moving, increasingly social or collaborative digital enterprise of today, so digital knowledge management has been expounding many of the principles such as connect-collect-collaborate; ask-learn-share, and solving some of the pains underlying it, unlocking the latent expertise, collaborating with communities, getting the right information to the right person at the right time; geographically-distributed teams are connected by technology, there arises an opportunity to analyze and reuse the data they create as they go about their activities, and from that to generate valuable knowledge that can be shared to help everyone in their work and keep talent grow. Hence, digital makes a big impact on knowledge management.
Complexity optimization: Complexity has increased exponentially and has become part of the digital new normal. Imagine the complexity that comes in due to these characteristics such as less structure, rules and regulations, diversity, volatility, ambiguity, unpredictability, lack of linearity, and increased flux working and impacting together. There are unknown interactions and very high inner dynamics in complexity. It becomes complex if things do interact, particularly in the case of "nonlinear" interaction, you can't separate things properly or you cannot predict the actual effect of interaction straightforwardly. The complexity can be good or bad for businesses depending on your strategy and capability. Thus, Complexity Management is the critical digital capability to minimize value-destroying complexity and efficiently control value-adding complexity in a cross-functional approach. And organizations must learn to navigate digital uncertainty and complexity via complexity mindset, innovate and adapt to increasingly changing digital realities.
Structure design: Majority of organizations are designed to improve functional efficiency in the industrial era; and many traditional organizations today are running at two speeds, with the industrial speed, it can continue to keep the business light on; and with the digital speed, it will adapt to the more frequent digital disruptions, wired to change and designed for better innovation toward long-term digital transformation. High mature digital organizations integrate organizational design (OD) into the process design and organizational re-engineering. Hence, digital makes an impact on the speed to run business, the empathy to their people, and the orchestration of their capability in high mature digital organizations.

In reality, fewer companies are truly using OD resources. But more often, the successful process improvement initiatives to digital transformation shall have representation and input from organizational design people management. It helps establish early buy-in and support through analysis of how the digital "initiative" impacts the people in the organization. Besides, realigning functions, structure, and management should be there to support the people -the most important asset of any organization, and not the other way around. Therefore, both organizational design and process optimization are important elements in digital transformation. The leadership team must understand that the road to achieving an effective and efficient business model is business process management with the leverage of organizational design management, and reach the ultimate goal to build a high-performing, anti-fragile, and outside-in customer-intimate digital business.
The nexus of Forces: Gartner refers to digital technologies SMAC-Social, Mobile, Analytics, and Cloud as the Nexus of Forces, and, of course, IT leaders need to pay attention to their huge impact. Cloud computing is changing how businesses think about infrastructure and application procurement. Big Data is changing not just traditional areas of analytics, but also how people manage most things in the future. Mobile is changing the customer relationship; the business is always on and needs to be always available, always relevant, and always helpful. It's not enough to offer flat services.

In the new age of consumerization of IT, digital customers and employees expect applications to be as intuitive and task-oriented. It’s that consumers and employees are using the same technology devices for similar activities. It represents a merging of corporate and consumer capabilities within the organization. It blurs the line between professional life and personal life, it also transforms the monolithic enterprise IT infrastructure into the mosaic digital backbone, and catalyze the new business culture. People can work anytime, anywhere, to access any necessary information to create an innovative idea now with partners outside the organization, sustainable innovation means products and services need to be improved via continuous conversation and open-loop feedback from customers and partners. This digital convergence of devices and services are creating new business models and revenue source as most companies across industries are being forced to become technology companies and run information business.
