Digital shift is a mindset shift: Compared to considerably static industrial age, digitalization is all about flow, mind flow, information flow, idea flow, and business flow. In an industrial era, the fixed mindset is perhaps OK to survive because the business and the world are slow to change.

Digital Workplace/Workforce Management Practice shift: Digital also changes how people work and why they work, the work is no longer just the place you go, but the work you accomplish. And digital workforce management encourages autonomy and self-discovery. In the digital workplace, talent people are encouraged to discover their own purpose and strength, well aligned with the business purpose. When people feel supported and confident they will be developed and valued. Confident employees are more likely to be open, share, and realize that even if their dream job is not within that organization, they can learn and contribute meaningfully for a period of time before they are ready to move to the next level of accomplishment. Foremost, the digital leaders must create a work environment for people to collaborate and share knowledge, develop the digital pipeline for leadership development and talent management, leverage the latest digital tools and platform for idea generation, updating their management practices, with the goal to improve business performance unleash collective potential.
