Raise the Digital IQ of the Organization With rapid changes, the exponential growth of information and continuous disruptions, the beauty of the digital landscape is the fresh insight of the great architectural design and business ecosystem dynamic. Organizations today need nothing less than a paradigm shift in their thinking about the fundamentals of how organizations work, as well as how to build an ever-evolving digital organization with high digital IQ - understanding the value of information, fine-tuning smart processes, developing the intelligent workforce, and achieving measurable business profitability.

Philosophical and Conceptual Understanding of Information vs. Knowledge The digital era upon us is about the exponential growth of information, abundant knowledge, and the rapid pace of changes. While information is an ingredient of knowledge; in order to interpret information, you need knowledge. Both information and knowledge are not equal to insight, but they are the foundation to capture insight and allow people to make the right decisions at the right time. Here is the philosophical and conceptual understanding of information vs. knowledge.

The Potential Value of Information Data is raw, unorganized facts that need to be processed. Data is simple, random, and unorganized; on the other hand, information is processed data. Information is structured and presents facts in context to targeted situations and conditions that facilitate business in making the right decisions at the right time. Given this assertion, there is no limit to the value of information in the digital economy.

Information System vs. Digital Ecosystem Information is permeating into every corner of the business and becomes the lifeblood of the digital organization. Digital technology is lightweight but more powerful. The Information Technology System is the "nerve system "of the digital business which is like the switch connected to the dynamic ecosystem continually evolving and expanding in the modern world.

Knowledge as the Business Consciousness and Intangible Asset of the Organization Knowledge is power; knowledge is more intangible, complex, and dynamic compared to the physical asset. Due to the exponential growth of information, the multitude of information formats, and risk/compliance concerns; managing knowledge becomes more challenging but critical for running a smart business. Knowledge Management should take a holistic approach by thinking knowledge as the business consciousness and treating knowledge as an intangible asset of the organization.

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 3 million page views with about #7000th 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 and innovating the 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.
