To make a seamless digital transformation, it’s important to set guidelines and make updated rules for navigating through changes and steering the journey of digital transformation.


A digital workplace is all about people-centricity, empathy, innovation, agility, and high-level business maturity. Digital organizations are always on, inter-dependent, and hyper-connected, people are always the most important asset in any organization before, today, and future.  

In an ideal digital workplace, the organizational structure is solid enough to keep people or things in order; but fluid enough to keep information and ideas flow.




     “Universal” Principles to Drive Change & Innovation 

 

The “Universal Principles” of Innovation Digital is the age of innovation, innovation is what leads to differentiation. It seems that many companies going through a period of introspection believe that they already implicitly understand the nature of innovation. All too often they perhaps manage a few innovation initiatives successfully. But keep in mind, with today’s digital dynamic, there are many ways to differentiate and, therefore, there are many ways to pursue innovation. It’s important to understand the world-class universal success principle for innovation and manage innovation in a structured way across the organizational scope and digital ecosystem.

A Set of Lao Tzu’s Quotes to Inspire Progressive and Holistic Management Discipline Lao Tzu as the founder of philosophical Taoism wisely put: “A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.” Philosophy comprises logic, aesthetics, ethics, metaphysics, ontology, and epistemology. Philosophy is the mother of all sciences and involves examining basic concepts such as reality, truth, existence, causality, and freedom. Philosophers love abstraction and hate complexity.

Applying Strategic Thinking Principles to Drive Digital Transformation In the digital era, any business can be at risk for survival at any minute due to continuous digital disruptions and change as the new normal at a faster pace and broader spectrum. Digital leaders and professionals must be comfortable with “VUCA” reality, apply strategic thinking principles to broaden their outlook, envision the bigger picture, keep the end in mind in order to drive digital transformation in a structural way.

The Tao of Developing the Scale of Innovativeness Innovation is what leads to differentiation. It is largely due to the fact that innovation in the digital dynamic has become increasingly complex in nature and expands its horizon for impact. It doesn’t mean though innovation management should always be complicated. There are many ways to differentiate and, therefore, there are many ways to pursue innovation. How to apply the principles of Tao to develop the scale of innovativeness?

Following the "BASIC” Principles in Problem-Solving and Digital Transformation The digital transformation is now spreading rapidly to enable organizations of all shapes and sizes to reinvent themselves. It is the transformation that is reshaping our thinking and recasting the way we view ourselves, the systems of which we are the part of the environments in which we live, and the way we think and solve problems. To make a seamless digital transformation, it’s important to set guidelines and make updated rules for navigating through changes and steering the journey of digital transformation.

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 3 million page views with about #7100th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The “Digital Master” book series includes 28 books to share insight from the multidimensional digital lens and perceive the multi-faceted impact the digital era upon us is making to 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 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.
