    A Happy Organization 


A Happy Organization with a “State of Pleasant” The digital era upon us is about people. One of the very goals for running a digital organization is to engage employees and delight customers. People define the “state of pleasant” - happiness at work as being derived from an engaged, active interest in the work, “deriving” meaning from the work being performed, and performing the work in a pleasant or harmonious environment.

A ‘Happy’ Organization Many forward-looking organizations are shifting from the industrial silo mode to interconnected digital mode. Digital organization is more organic than mechanical; more sociological than hierarchical; more hybrid (multi-generational; multi-geographical and multi-devicing) and antifragile. So which mood is the digital organization more often in, and how to build a “Happy Organization” with both happy employees and happy customers?

The “Rules & Signs” of a Happy Organization The digital paradigm means hyperconnectivity, innovation, and people-centricity. The paradox is that we have already developed so much that mere survival is the shadow perception of the human world. Organizational development could regain some of the reputations if focusing on improving employee engagement fully - concerning all sorts of things like thoughts, feelings, emotions, etc. Business leaders need to seek fresh perspectives on making changes, setting rules, and catching signs for reinventing a “happy organization.”

Digital Fusion: How to Unleash the Full Business Potential Uncertainty, ambiguity, unpredictability, velocity, etc., are the digital new normal. With the increasing pace of changes, 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. Business leaders need to be both bold and cautious, apply multidimensional thinking, and take multifaceted management disciplines to drill down the critical success factors that underpin each of the higher-level performance dimensions to accelerate business performance and unleash the full business potential.

Reinvent Digital Organization and Step into the Future by Building Three Bridges The emerging digital technologies make a profound impact on businesses across industrial sectors, from specific functions to the business as a whole. Reimagining the future of business is exciting, there is more than one road to lead the digital way, and there are many opportunities the organization can explore and a lot of barriers it has to overcome. Running a future-driven organization starts with the growth mindset, prepares people for the digital new normal, followed by a series of progressive activities to shape organizational competency and build the substantial bridges between the imaginable state of the organization and the business realities of today in order to move toward the future confidently and effortlessly.

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 3 million page views with about #6900th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The “Digital Master” book series includes 28 books to share insight from the multidimensional digital lens and perceive the multi-faceted impact the digital era upon us is making to businesses and society. 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 and innovating new ideas; 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 diverse voices and deepen digital footprints, and it's the way to harness your innovative spirit.
