To gain a profound understanding, it is the responsibility of each individual to examine themselves and to make sure they are open to true understanding.
The hyperconnectivity nature of digital breaks down the functional, geographical, or industrial borders, and the world becomes much nonlinear, interconnected and interdependent than ever.
Therefore, business leaders and professionals need to craft a growth mindset (improving the breadth and depth of the cognitive mind) for gaining cross-disciplinary knowledge, demonstrate cognitive abilities to understand and handle issues from different angles, see further and deeper, in order to diagnose the right problems and solve them smoothly.
Broadening perspective: The mind is something very personal, it is a label that individuals create for the awareness that is on their own. In the industrial age with overly restrictive hierarchy or functional boundaries, the silo mentality might make you feel isolated and “powerful,” but it causes slowness and small-thinking. Silos form a very insecure basis for the ego and they are the result of poor strategic thinking. In the digital era with “VUCA” characteristics, it’s the time to shift from silo to holistic perspective; broaden the vision, see around the corner, look through the old problems from every direction and find new solutions from different angles, in order to come out with the optimal solutions without too many side effects.
Individually, perspective shifting helps people fix the silo mentality by exploring multiple thought processes, willing to listen to the diverse viewpoints, capture the bigger pictures, seeing both the forest and the trees. Collectively, a complimentary team setting with cognitive difference can broaden their perspective, integrate different stereotyped or mechanistic viewpoints; it is the integration and search for new viewpoints that are holistic in order to solve problems thoroughly. An ecosystem allows the leaders and professionals to explore digital in all directions and scale up change efforts systematically.
Deepening perception: People’s perceptions reflect their cognitive capacity and mentality traits (positive vs. negative; egoless vs. egotism, etc.) based on their conditionings or beliefs, leading them to make judgment. People experience actual reality through the filter of personal realities, which is ultimately based on individual perception and personality. So it is subjective and varies from person to person. Your perception affects your world and therefore what you project on the world as well as how to respond and adapt to the world. It’s important to cultivate the cognitive abilities to ensure that your version of perception is more objective, closer to the actual reality and is more persuasive for communicating with clarity and solving related problems effectively.
To improve professionalism, people need to shift perception from negative to positive, from egotism to “confimility” (confidence + humility). To make effective decisions, people need to shift their perception from a subjective to objective, making sound judgment about people and things via empathetic understanding, deep insight and accurate articulation or interpretation. Misperception can be fixed by exploring multiple thought processes, listening to different viewpoints, and really digging beneath the superficial layer. Having a learning attitude allows people to gain cognizant of the different perceptions of the world, and having gratitude allows them to be more positive, appreciate good things happening.
Capturing interdisciplinary insight: In the digital era, we will be confronting a number of high-complex problems in the hyper-connected world, Insight is one's introspection, a perception beyond the thought, a multi-dimensional cognizance, it’s the experience to explore oneself, surrounds and beyond. It is the understanding of a specific cause and effect in a specific context, the root cause of a problem, or the core issues of a situation which leads to premium resolution. The interdisciplinary knowledge and science can be applied to complex problem-solving, which involves engineering, design, principles, philosophy, psychology, social norms, and sociology, etc.
Information nowadays is only a click away and the border of knowledge domains has a blurred scope, knowledge is expanded in the continual base. Thus, top seasoned leaders or high professionals become aware when some of the long-acquired knowledge is no longer applicable in certain situations. They have learned to no longer apply outdated knowledge in those specific cases, and then, relearn the updated knowledge for gaining insight on the changing circumstance. Interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding are critical to shape a bigger thinking box, discover patterns and nurture creativity. Being insightful cross-disciplinarily means to have the better opportunities to connect the dots across the boundaries and integrate interdisciplinary methodology for enabling digital leaders and professionals to look at the wider aspects around problem space and then understand the effect of imposing boundaries within that space, in order to frame the right problems and solve them smoothly.
The most important capability of the cognitive mind is the willingness and ability to seek out knowledge, broaden perspectives, develop interdisciplinary knowledge, address ignorance and assumptions. To gain a profound understanding, it is the responsibility of each individual to examine themselves and to make sure they are open to true understanding. When people explore the mental process of acquiring new knowledge through thoughts, experiences, and senses, cognition involves exploring varieties of meanings, absorbing and digesting information from varying sources, and improving cognitive maturity step by step. They become wiser to make decisions and solve problems in a consistent way.
