"Digital Master” is a series of guidebooks (28 + books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.” 

It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, provides advice on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. Here is a set of “Oxymoron” quotes in “Digital Master.”


1 A heavy innovation process is definitely an oxymoron, but you do need certain processes and governance framework, as many good ideas have diminished in middle-management of many organizations because of lack of attention.

2 Innovation process needs to be rigorous, not too rigid. If the process in the innovation process is akin to what would come out the too rigid management school of thought, then the term might be oxymoronic.

3 Digital innovation is neither an oxymoron nor a serendipity, you have to manage it strategically and systematically to achieve the consistent business result.

4 Corporate value is not just an abstract or oxymoron, but a multi-dimensional concept, from economic value, quality value to brand value or social value.

5 The corporate big five needs to be well defined holistically, as they are correlated and interconnected transformed from oxymoron concept into practical planning : Vision, Goals, and objectives - are the end (long term & short term) goal/milestones of an organization. Mission, strategies, and tactics - are the means of achieving the end goals defined in vision/goals/objectives.

6 Since the future is increasingly less predictable, the effective leaders will plan for the future by asking “what if”: which means to identify a few critical issues at business, and then focus on actions and resources on them, to avoid strategy planning becoming oxymoron.
