"Digital Master” is a series of guidebooks (28 + books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.” It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, provides advice on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. Here is a set of “Rule” quotes in “Digital Master."

1 The mindset (perspective) is the consequence of "rules.”

2 There are good rules and bad rules, visible rules and hidden rules, local rules or global rules. Rules are often domain specific and time relevant, so perhaps there’s no rule which can “rule” the world all the time.

3 Rules need to be updated continually because often the outdated rules become the roadblocks to stifle innovation and business or societal progress. The new “rules” get updated to reflect the new age, adapt to the new speed, and fit for the new perspectives.

4 Top talent is not just the one who can perfectly follow the rule; top talent today needs to change the rules or co-create new rules to make collective progress.

5 A business rule is simply a rule that is under business jurisdiction. It means that the business can enact, revise, and discontinue their business rules as they see fit.

6 When the organization only rewards the rule followers, not innovators -the old rule breakers, more often, they only focus on short term results, not long term vision.

7 Some rules don't make sense or stop people from making progress, so that's the point where you must examine your own intentions - break the rules, follow the rules, ignore the rules? What's important is your own understanding of your intentions.

8 The dilemma of the board needs to figure out which rule is outdated, which rule needs to be eliminated; which rule needs to be enforced, and how to make good policies.

9 The digital rules are not some out-of-date cliche or rigid processes to stifle innovation. Instead, they are based on the set of digital principles and philosophy behind the methodologies, and they help to shape the mindsets behind behaviors and actions.
