The Monthly Insight: Ongoing and Upgoing Change Continuum Sep. 2016

A digital transformation is achieved via dynamic Strategy-Execution-Change life cycle management.

Change is inevitable, organizational change has become a common practice within an organization, but too often changes are made as a reaction to outer impulses, crisis, and demands. This is the bureaucracy’s way of meeting the challenges. A digital transformation is achieved via dynamic Strategy-Execution-Change life cycle management. It is not all linear steps, but an iterative, ongoing and upgoing change continuum.

  An Ongoing and Upgoing Change Continuum

• Driving Change and Leap Digital Transformation in a Systematic Way Organizations large or small are on their digital transformation journey, although there is no one size fits all solution to ensure success, organizations have to explore their own set of best practices for changes. Generally speaking, what’re the principles or logic steps they should follow for managing such a radical transformation in a more systematic way??

• Change as an Ongoing Capability? Change is a volatile subject, just like change itself. Everything changes continuously by following the laws of evolution, and the rate of change is accelerated. Corporate change can be a simple modification of a strategy, a business process improvement or a more radical digital transformation. Either at the individual or organizational level, in the static industrial era, change is a one-time project; at the digital age, change has to become an ongoing capability.

• How to Design Organizations to Maintain Viability? Digital organizations are a complex ecosystem with the blurring line between functions, organizations and geographic locations. How to design organizations to maintain viability and deliver tactical actions for strategic effect, given weak, noisy and evolving feedback signals due to systemic adaptive complexity in its environment? What would be an inclusive set of theories to accommodate a complex system? How would such a set of business capabilities be integrated? How would be an organization experiencing that type of feedback know it's viable? How would it or its parts know it needs to change itself? How would it or its parts know what to change?

• Five Stages in Change Management : Digital is all about changes, and change is multi-faceted with increasing speed and velocity. So how to manage change effectively? “Change Management” is an overarching umbrella, that encompasses extensive planning, communication, evaluation, creativity, collaboration, measuring outcomes in a shared and trust environment, and being able to declare the end point and successful conclusion. But more specifically, what are the necessary steps in Change Management life Cycle?

• Building a Self-adaptive Digital Organization? Digital means flow; data flow, information flow, and mind flow. etc. Digital organizations have to adapt to the continuous changes and business dynamic in striving as a Digital Master. Within system engineering, self-adaptive concepts are applied in order to control system risks that evolve due to dynamics and variation. The self-adaptive system is a system able to re-configure its own structure and change its own behavior during the execution of its adaptation to environment changes?

Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking; 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 the time to attract the "hungry minds" and the "deep souls." It’s the journey to amplify your voice, deepen your digital footprints, and match your way for human progression.
