Innovativeness

 Innovation is about the future, without it, you lose sight of tomorrow. 


The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 5 million page views with 8300+ blog postings in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. 

The “Digital Master” book series includes 28 books to share insight from the multidimensional digital lens and perceive the multi-faceted impact the digital era upon us is making to businesses and society. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. Here is the insight of innovation leadership, IT Management, and Talent Management.

Innovativeprogress Modern society is a dynamic continuum with collective human progress. Progress represents upward change, either by individual or group efforts or induced by environmental and cultural tangible and intangible forces to make improvement. Without change, one cannot even stagnate. Whether we can set a progressive tone to make a transition from survival to thriving of our civilization depends on how we make the mind shift to structure shift to behavior shift; make culture shift from exclusive to inclusive; and make innovation from incremental to breakthrough.

Innovateleadership Fundamentally, leadership is about the future and direction - how to steer the organization or society in the right direction. We are shifting from a silo based industrial age with knowledge scarcity to to the hyper-connected digital era with information abundance. Leadership also needs to transform from hierarchical to situational and interdisciplinary; from local to global, establish insight across the boundaries for solving complex problems effectively.

Innovation is an exceptional, exclusive, and realistic idea that separates you from others without a second thought. Innovation can happen anywhere in the organization and its ecosystem. Digital innovation has a broader spectrum, hybrid nature, and deep context. You have to systematically develop the business competency to execute it successfully, and that is something you do not accomplish overnight.

Either for solving complex business problems or running a successful business, “interface” personas are in demand to bridge multitude of differences, facilitate cross boundary communication, lubricate business relationships, and improve organizational effectiveness and innovativeness.

Innovateboardleadership Due to the “VUCA” new normal, leadership becomes more informative and situational as driving the business forward is extremely difficult. There are many blind spots clouding the vision and there are numerous roadblocks or hidden pitfalls on the way. That means you have to look into an unknown future and attempt to define the landscape with its risks and opportunities, pay attention to the myriad of internal, external, national or global forces that define and influence the way we do business these days.

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.
