Interdisciplinarians Modern digital technologies bring unprecedented levels of convenience for people to learn and work, improve their professional skills continually and build unique competency in a stepwise way. Competency is a combination of capabilities with a focus, each of these same capabilities may be combined in different fashions to yield multiple competencies. Nowadays, as businesses across sectors change shape, size, expansion, and transformations, everyone needs to have some skills strengthened and some added, develop unique competency, and make continuous improvement. In fact, digital professional competency is interdisciplinary and ambidextrous, to thrive in the “ VUCA” new normal.

Different people and organizations have different strengths and capabilities. Thus, they need to take a unique path at their own pace to stretch their strength and build their core competency.

The mechanistic work production analog is replaced with organic growth metaphor. Operational centrism becomes multi-disciplinary people-centrism. The dynamic digital organization can be perceived through the lenses of biology, sociology, psychology, anthropology, technology, ecology, etc. Digital management is informative, interdisciplinary, and innovative.
Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking about 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.
