Innovateglobalsociety

Only customers can value the quality of the software. This software exhibition opens my mind upon how to reinvent the future of society and unleash the collective potential of the human world.
Information potential directly impacts the growth potential of the organization or society. This week, I participated in a great software exhibition in a cultural capital, an IT oriented metropolitan city, in which the meta-universe, cloud computing, Big Data, Cloud Computing, etc, became more mature in application.

This modern society steps into the new phase of digitalization by providing real-time information management solutions to conquer the dynamic, multidimensional business management challenge. The power of information is to enable people to make better faster decisions coherently, empower the organizational management with real-time insight across the company in ways never possible before. This software exhibition focuses on digital thinking, methodology, and solution for reinventing organizational management/society/culture.

MetaUniverse:
Dynamic, open space is digitized via advanced information technology, interdisciplinary collaboration, and open innovation. People constantly expand their digital footprints, break down silos, explore new opportunities, develop contents, learn, grow and innovate.

Cloud Computing: What business problems does cloud solve that can't be solved by more traditional forms of application and service delivery at a fraction of the cost and risk? Cloud provides the right opportunities to get out of the non-value adding business as soon as possible.

Big Data: Data influences human behavior, data enables the culture of innovation, data unleashes human potential. Now good data is about the freedom of choice; each piece of quality data is the truth. Technically, the Big Data solution need combine computer science, mathematics, statistical analysis, data visualization and even social science to gain insight and foresight about what customers need and what’s the future trend.

Advanced Analysis: Big-data analytics must be business led with the right mindset, time to value, and with effective data mining tools, as not all projects will be successful at finding the needle in the haystack. With rising customer expectations, the need for speed is actually more important than ever before. Data driven real time "what-if'' analysis could immediately determine future outcomes. The biggest challenge that business faces to manage Big Data today is more cultural than technical. Data oriented organizations can digitize, personalize and systemize modern society, help every level of organization reach the high level of maturity.

Artificial/Argumentative Reality:
Information is overlaid onto the device (smartphone or glasses) to create an immersive experience where digital information alters the user's perception of the real world. It delivers visual elements, sound and other sensory information to the user through smart devices.

Due to the digital nature of hyper-connectivity and interdependence, software will become more interrelated as we move to a world of systems-of-systems in which constraints govern how and what we develop. Software development needs to bring up the most business value. Only customers can value the quality of the software. This software exhibition opens my mind upon how to reinvent the future of society and unleash the collective potential of the human world.

Isn't a tough journey to- celebrate #11,300 blog postings - to pursue- the digital way of brainstorming, innovating, motivating, story-telling?

T
he “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 10 million page views with 11,300+ blog postings in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. 


The “Digital Master” book series includes 29 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. Here is the weekly insight of innovation leadership, IT Management, and Talent Management.

Initiatives Organizational management is both science and art. The traditional linear management practices working in the considerably static industrial organizations are simply not sufficient to manage the "VUCA" new normal.

InitiativesThe global environment is dynamic and uncertain, the pace of change is increasing, Global citizens are experiencing the same world but perhaps perceive it subjectively. For the past couple of days, I have been staying in a great global metropolitan city in which I have had an amazing people-centric experience. I enjoy the excellent mix of natural beauty and societal advancement, the ocean's openness and the city's charming; and most importantly, people treat each other so friendly, offer help to strangers warm-heartedly. The pacific ocean broadens my mindset. The local residents impress me and embrace me friendly, make me strong and full of appreciation. Great global places and citizens cure us spiritually, make us feel energetic in the face of frustration, doesn't it?

Initiativeformulas Change is increasing its pace; organizations need to awaken their information-based consciousness, start thinking about ways to improve, and innovate. Understanding the ecosystem dynamics, working to influence multifaceted business management takes attention and energy.

Innatequality Quality is everyone’s business; touch every important perspective of the business. Business management systems and processes need to be dynamic, iterative, integral, and interactive to make the timely adjustment for improving the quality of management. Quality management should focus not only on the quality of products and services but also how to achieve the overall business effectiveness, efficiency, agility, resilience, and maturity.

Innateprofundity Information is permeating into every corner of the organization, and emerging technology makes a profound impact on organizational design and reinvention. Being profound means objective perception, empathetic communication, emotional excellence.

Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking of new ideas; sharing and innovating. 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.

Innovativeglobalism

The new journey of an insightful globalist starts at the great global city, with all sorts of global experience amazingly.
The global environment is dynamic and uncertain, the pace of change is increasing, Global citizens are experiencing the same world but perhaps perceive it subjectively.

 For the past couple of days, I have been staying in a great global metropolitan city in which I have had an amazing people-centric experience. I enjoy the excellent mix of natural beauty and societal advancement, the ocean's openness and the city's charming; and most importantly, people treat each other so friendly, offer help to strangers warm-heartedly. The pacific ocean broadens my mindset. The local residents impress me and embrace me friendly, make me strong and full of appreciation. Great global places and citizens cure us spiritually, make us feel energetic in the face of frustration, doesn't it?

Global communication: Global professionals are comfortable to live in an advanced global society in which they are able to work and live freely, communicate empathetically. In the truly global society, not only do we speak our own dialect, but we are also good at a couple of languages; we switch back and forth fluently; we enjoy global media through multi-lingual or interdisciplinary understanding. We become global citizens because we like each other even though we are strangers; we understand each other empathetically; we go deeper to diagnose real problems and deal with them thoughtfully.

Because each mindset filters information differently, thinks differently, and learns differently.Good communication is based on fluent language skills, expertise, contextual understanding, and deep insight, to avoid “lost in translation” syndrome. In an open and progressive society, Global professionals should sense, feel, read and imagine, set tones to enhance cross-boundary communication and collaboration.

Global platform: The world becomes flattened, changes or problems usually do not happen in isolation from each other in predictable ways. True globalism means brainstorming for fresh idea exchange, open platform to communicate, open innovation to scale up and amplify innovation impact; open culture understanding, not only for knowing the diversified cultures or customs, but also become more fluent in the open style of multicultural communication, open mindset of inclusive leadership. In an advanced global society, communication is objective; transportation is predictive; social interaction is professional and problem-solving is holistic.

An advanced global platform interwoven by information technology enables people to share fresh ideas, criticize old ways to do things, and co-solve problems innovatively. It helps to discover hot spots for innovation and enable people across the globe to build trustful relationships and harness cross-boundary collaboration. In shaping a global business, it takes cohesive collaboration for business as a whole, aligns the different parts of the ecosystem to adopt more points of integration, with layered and loosely coupled modular capabilities to build differentiated competencies for solving complex problems effectively.

Global professionalism:
The global world is diversified and complex, and global value is multi-dimensional. So to develop global professionalism, people from different regions, religions, and cultural differences should refine their knowledge into more unified insight; compare personal/family values with national, global values, etc. Contemporary global professionalism is contextual. You need to have value judgment skills to make sound decisions; strategic perspective to diagnose critical problems; paradoxical logic to strike the right balance.

In a truly global society, people demonstrate global courtesy, global knowledge and global professionalism. It is a strategic imperative for today’s leaders and professionals to embrace the broader view of global society, shape a clear vision, establish global principles & regulations, and develop the next practices to deal with existing and emerging complex business problems to advance humanity collaboratively. Being a qualified global citizen means you expand the horizon, develop multilingual fluency, interdisciplinary knowledge expertise, cultural empathy, embrace inclusion, and accumulate global experience to reach the next level of professional maturity.

The new journey of an insightful globalist starts at the great global city, with all sorts of global experience amazingly. It’s always important to create common rationale between perspectives, engender fresh global insight, help people recognize challenges, understand boundaries, deal with constraints, frictions, bridge a variety of gaps seamlessly, in order to develop global professionalism, accomplish multiplexing tasks, and amplify the collective potential of our modern world.

InitiativeofInnovation

It’s strategic imperative to unlock the full organization potential – the future performance for accelerating global business growth.

Innovation can happen anywhere across the global organization and its ecosystem because of constant changes in the physical world, frequent disruptions in reality. It's critical to connect the right dots, identify hot spots for innovation, build innovation hubs to nurture fresh ideas and new concepts. 

With increasing pace of changes and frequent disruptions, our global world has to create new paradigm, with creative patterns, fresh concepts, new knowledge, all sorts of innovators who can think differently and solve problems alternatively.

 It’s important to break down the variety of silos and enforce cross-functional, industrial, and cultural collaboration and innovation: Innovation is not for its own sake, but to generate multifaceted business value. The smaller business players can gain economies of scale of innovation through cross boundary communication and collaboration. So if you have some innovation capacity in an iteration, and are looking to pull it from the backlog, you can grab that high value. The success of the high-innovative organization is not accidental because innovation is a differentiated capability which needs to be built through a multitude of disciplines, structures, processes, and practices.=

It’s important to know that the variables that might merit consideration are the scope, scale, and impact of global innovation: In the business setting, it’s important to break down the variety of silos and enforce cross-functional, industrial, and cultural collaboration and innovation. The scope, scale, and impact of the global innovation depends on many variables such as process coherence, communication fluency, interdisciplinary knowledge, structural flexibility, technology update, etc. Forethoughtful organizations are able to manage a balanced portfolio with both incremental and breakthrough innovation. Incremental innovation is more under control, usually top down, process driven. Breakthrough innovation requires a more thorough process to prototype, filter, test in a real-world scenario. All organizations focus on developing people-centric innovation capacity.

An integral global innovation system enables organizations to recognize challenges, understand boundaries, deal with constraints, frictions, bridge a variety of gaps seamlessly. It takes world-class insight that can connect global dots to both inspire and nurture the evolution of businesses that walk the talk when it comes to innovation. An integral global innovation system enables organizations to recognize challenges, understand boundaries, deal with constraints, frictions, and bridge a variety of gaps seamlessly. Information Technology is the linchpin to build an advanced innovation system in which organizations can encourage idea brainstorming, process optimization, talent development and build a high performance innovative businesses. 

It’s strategic imperative to unlock the full organization potential – the future performance for accelerating global business growth. It takes world-class leaders who can connect global dots to inspire the evolution of human society that walk the talk when it comes to innovation. Innovation leaders not only understand the diversity of the global world with knowledge abundance, but also unify the world for advancing humanity collaboratively.
