Here is the weekly insight of digital leadership, IT Management, and Talent Management.

Initiation The digital era upon us is about innovation. The purpose of Innovation Management is to prepare everything to maximize the transformation of an idea to achieve its business value through well-prepared processes and structures. In reality, business transformation makes a lot of people nervous because it means they have to move out of their comfort zone, which causes innovation inertia. To dig deeper, silo, outdated concepts, “we always do things like that” mentality, knowledge limitations, erc, are all the causes of innovation inertia. So how to initiate innovation efforts and how to overcome challenges?

Influence Due to the scarcity of information and static settings in the industrial age, many people are used to living in their “comfort zone” with a static mindset based on a very limited thinking box they shaped quite a long time ago. However, with high velocity and abundant knowledge, forward-looking individuals and companies need to reinvent themselves to improve their core competencies and drive transformative change. Successful companies can rejuvenate a high performance culture through psychological footprint and behavioral DNA, catalyze innovation and make significant influence.

Unbiased It is a continuously changing world with “VUCA” new normal, problems facing individuals or organizations become more complex than ever. So no one can afford to stick to old ways of problem-solving. It’s important to overcome the variety of bias, deepen the level of understanding. If you only intend to fix symptoms, the real issues become bigger and bigger. To make things worse, fixing the wrong cause of a problem is creating more gaps, wasting time and energy, generating “irrational thoughts and illogical solutions.”

Innovation-Indicator Corporate Performance Management is a management control from strategy to the shop floor. "If you can't measure, you can't manage," legendary management guru Peter Drucker once asserted. Managing performance means understanding results, setting metrics, fixing plans, and making decisions to ensure it happens. It takes multifaceted approaches from multidimensional perspectives to unlock digital performance and catalyze change.

Interdictive-Intelligence Digital makes a significant impact on how we think, live, and work. There is a mix of old and new, physical and virtual, order and chaos. We are in a time of tremendous change, the dawn of the digital age, the path to the next level of digital maturity, also in the era of confusion and information overload. Therefore, it’s critical to identify, understand, and avoid pitfalls, discover strategic and predictive pathways to change, increase confidence, position a brand and leverage resources to make the digital paradigm shift effortlessly.

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.
