The Monthly “Dot Connections”: Transaction vs. Transformation Dec. 2018

The effects of an increasingly digitalized world are now reaching into every corner of businesses and every aspect of organizations. Organization of the Future is an organization designed openly for anyone with ideas on how human organizations ought to be contrived in the face of the strategic imperatives of the digital era. The work is not the place you go, but a live organization and an experiment lab you can connect the future dots.

               


Transaction vs. Transformation


Transactional vs. Transformational Digital Competency? Forward-looking organizations are on the journey of digital transformation, to become more nimble, innovative and customer-centric and achieve a high-performance business result consistently. To reach the digital vision, businesses have to build the healthy digital capability portfolio with the balance of transactional capabilities for “keeping the lights on,” and the transformative capabilities for lifting the organization to the upper level of maturity. The cohesive set of business capabilities is built into the digital competency of the organization for gaining the long-term business advantage.

The Five Dimensional Hybrid Models for Going Digital? The digital paradigm has many dimensions. Digital organizations today have the hybrid reality with both physical buildings and virtual platform, the old way and the new way of doing things. It implies the “always on” and hyper-connected business nature, exhibiting digital characteristics in various shades, extensiveness, and intensity. Therefore, the digital management needs to adopt a hybrid model and take the holistic discipline with mixed management styles for managing everything that is necessary to get digital ready.

Transaction vs. Transformation A well-run business has a healthy business portfolio of “running, growth, and transformation,” focus on both short-term gain and a long-term win, to manage a seamless business transaction and transformation continuum. Here are three perspectives to connect dots between transaction vs. transformation.

The CIO’s Journey: Transactional IT vs. Transformational IT The majority of businesses today are on the journey to digitalization and globalization. The reason is that the world is becoming smaller every day and as the consequence, every successful business has to sooner or later go beyond borders. At the same time, the global business landscape is only becoming more complex due to varied factors. And it is in this context that organizations build business verticals within to manage the complexity. So the logical concerns could be: What kind of IT leaders are on demand? Transformational or transactional? What’re differences between Transformation vs. Transaction? How would you define differences between Transactional and Transformational CIOs?

Change vs. Transformation Change or Transformation is at every progressive organization's agenda, are they the same or have differences? What's leading to change or on the journey of transformation?

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 2.8 million page views with about #5200th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The “Digital Master” book series includes 25 books to share insight from the multidimensional digital lens and perceive the multi-faceted impact the digital era upon us is making to the businesses and society. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking and innovating the new ideas; it’s not just about WHAT to say, but about WHY to say, and HOW to say it. It reflects the color and shade of your thought patterns, and it indicates the peaks and curves of your thinking waves. Unlike pure entertainment, quality and professional content takes time for digesting, contemplation and engaging, and therefore, it takes time to attract the "hungry minds" and the "deep souls." It’s the journey to amplify diverse voices and deepen digital footprints, and it's the way to harness your innovative spirit.
