The Monthly “Change Insight” Book Tuning: Digital Organizations with High Changeability Apr. 2020

The new paradigm that is emerging is a digital organization that is more responsive, holistic, vibrant, self-driving, innovative, and above all enhances and supports the living organization. 

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, crises, and demands. This is the bureaucracy’s way of meeting the challenges. A digital transformation is achieved via dynamic Strategy-Execution-Change lifecycle management, though it is not all linear steps, but an iterative, ongoing and upgoing change continuum.



    Digital Organizations with High Changeability

The Digital Organizations with High Changeability Change is the new normal with increasing paces. You have to define the change situation and the desired results before plowing into any effort, from measured progress to critical survival. The traditional organizations with pyramidal hierarchy usually enforce silos, encourage bureaucracy, and slow down the business speed.

The Very Characteristics of Organization with High Changeability With continuous disruptions and fierce competitions, organizations can make major leaps forward in developing change capability and capacity by involving the entire organization in digital transformation efforts that support key business strategies to drive performance improvement and accelerate business speed. Here is a set of the very characteristics of digital organization with high changeability.

Three Dimensions of Changes for Tuning a Digital Organization The very nature of digital is about change, and change is multifaceted with increasing speed and velocity. The change shouldn’t be just some random business initiatives, it has to fix an imbalance in those elements by involving executives in IT, operations, or talent management, and take a structured approach to manage three dimensions of changes for tuning a highly responsive digital organization.”

Changeability as the Digital Characteristics The digital organization starts with a changing nature. Uncertainty, ambiguity, unpredictability, velocity, etc., are the digital new normal. The emergence of potential opportunities for exploiting digitization is likely to follow a nonlinear pattern as the pervasiveness of an organization's digitization journey increases. The digital business dynamic allows the organization to morph as the business conditions and organizational capacities change to allow a better fit. But change is never for its own sake, one of the good reasons for the change is to keep the organization fit, and a fitting business has better changeability and higher business maturity as well.

Organizational Autonomy and Digital Transformation? Digital disruptions are inevitable, and digital transformation is unstoppable. Organizations shouldn’t just respond to them in a reactive way. The new paradigm that is emerging is a digital organization that is more responsive, holistic, vibrant, self-driving, innovative, and above all enhances and supports the living organization. In fact, autonomy becomes one of the most critical characteristics for digital organizations to thrive as well as the symbol of achieving high-level digital maturity.

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 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.
