Compared to the traditional organization as the mechanical system to keep spinning, digital organizations today are more like the organic living system that keeps evolving and growing.
Digital makes a significant impact on every aspect of the business from people, process to technology, both horizontally and vertically. Digital becomes the very fabric of high performing business, being outside-in, and customer-centric is the new mantra for forward-looking and high mature digital organizations today.

The “Organic” Digital Business & World
An Organic Digital Organization with Systematic Characteristics Compared to the traditional organization as the mechanical system to keep spinning, digital organizations today are more like the organic living system that keeps evolving and growing. To deal with today’s business challenge, System Thinking has emerged as a popular digital principle to make tough decisions and solve thorny problems.
A Digital Organization as an Organic System Digital means the exponential growth of information and an abundance of knowledge. The current business paradigm is still dominantly rooted in the mechanistic understanding and framing of hierarchical organizational structures or silo functions. The organization of the future will be organically developed, iterating, and empowered by an intelligent organizational design that puts values and people before rules and roles. It will be organized as an organic system which is self-adapting, self-renewing, generates patterns, structures, business activities, and above all, creates novelty over time.
A Biologist Mind: How Shall you Perceive this “Organic” Digital World? The world is mechanical in the industrial age because business is running as functional silos to achieve efficiency. But the emerging digital era has an “organic” nature and businesses today empowered by digital technologies such as cloud, social, mobile and analytics are more sociological, so what’re the right minds to run such evolutionary business environment, should you shake an ecology of mind or think like a biologist who studies living organisms, often in the context of their environment?
Digital Shift: A Living Organization With the increasing speed of change and exponential growth of information, the hierarchical organization is no longer effective enough to adapt to the changes, how to design an organization of futures to run in digital speed with ultra-modern leadership style, and how to build up a dynamic, adaptable and antifragile digital business?
Digital Shift: People-Centric Organization One of the key characteristics of digital organizations is customer-centricity. When companies adopt customer-centric strategies, customers become the primary drivers of “what” work should be done, “how” work should be done, and “who” should do it. Being customer-centric also needs to have more organic structure than a mechanic one, to empower than control, to engage than command, and be more dynamic than static.
The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 3 million page views with about 6700+ blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. 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 take 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.
