Understood (xi)

Let go of assumptions and stigmas we place on objects, ideas, function, practice how to perceive things differently and empty your mind of how things are "usually" understood or solved.

"Digital Master” is the series of guidebooks (28+ books) to perceive the multi-faceted impact digital is making to the businesses and society, help forward-thinking organizations navigate through the journey in a systematic way, and avoid “rogue digital.” 

It perceives the emergent trends of digital leadership, advises on how to run a digital organization to unleash its full potential and improve agility, maturity, and provide insight about Change Management. It also instructs the digital workforce on how to shape a game-changing digital mindset and build the right set of digital capabilities to compete for the future. Here is a set of “Understood”(xi)  quotes in “Digital Master.’

It is also important to understand how the people factor affects the business system and then, managing the complex system and the people of the complex system.

The good CIOs work very hard at investing in a positive relationship with their executive peers by first 'seeking to understand then be understood.'

Bright digital leaders and professionals are skeptical about the conventional understanding of issues so that they examine everything before accepting it for the real truth or advising it to others.
