The Monthly “100 IT Charm” Book Tuning: Unique Competency of Organizations Nov. 2020

Metaphorically, human potential is like Spring Water, the deeper you dig, the more it flows out.

The purpose of the book “100 IT Charms: Running Versatile IT to get Digital Ready“ is to articulate different flavors of digital IT organizations and brainstorm the best and next practices for running highly innovative and high-performance IT. 

Digital charm is not based on the style presented on the surface but on a set of unique competencies to make IT shine through as a business differentiator.


      

Unique Competency of Organizations  


Information Technology In most organizations, IT has been perceived as a support center and it’s setting back and waiting for the request from the business. To reinvent IT as a trustful business partner, it has to be configured in a way to understand the business and become a business solutionary that has competencies to do two things for their company: Deliver better, faster and cost-effective business solutions and do profitable things for the organization otherwise, it can't do.

Potential Potential is about the ability to grow and develop into something in the future. There are physical potential, intellectual potential, and spiritual potential. How to unleash the abundance of human potential is perhaps one of the best rewarding areas for human society advancement. But it is the arena full of myths. Metaphorically, human potential is like Spring Water, the deeper you dig, the more it flows out. To tap human potential is also like drilling the oil, if exploring too narrowly, you might never detect the right spot; if deploying the shallow field only, you won't touch the right point either. Tapping the limitless human potential is both art and science. It takes the out-of-box thinking and trans-disciplinary approach.

Knowledge? Knowledge is power; knowledge is more intangible, complex and dynamic compared to the physical asset. Due to the exponential growth of information, the multitude of information formats, and risk/compliance concerns; managing knowledge becomes more challenging but critical for running a smart business. Knowledge Management should take a holistic approach by thinking knowledge as the business consciousness and treating knowledge as an intangible asset of the organization.

Insight Due to the faster pace of changes, overwhelming growth of information, and “VUCA” digital new normal, today’s business world is sophisticated from many perspectives. Systems Thinking is the ability to navigate levels of abstraction or logic as an essential thinking skill, helps people see the interconnected relationship between the parts and the whole, see things underneath and around the corner, be sensitive to the emergent factors, and take the balanced view of digital flow.

Intrapreneurship Corporate intrapreneurship has been recognized as potentially viable, it is about creating new ventures from within established organizations to leverage the startup culture for catalyzing changes and inspiring innovation. It means promoting and sustaining organizational performance, renewal and corporate competitiveness.
