Innovationparadox

It is the responsibility of each individual to examine themselves and to make sure they are open to true understanding.


From one generation to the next, the substance of leadership does not change, it’s about the future, change, and influence. However, digital leadership trends will continue to emerge.

 Here is a set of featured blogs to dig into the “keywords” of the 21st century to brainstorm the future of digital leadership and business transformation.





 Innovation Paradox


InnovationconnectivityInnovation is about thinking creatively and discovering alternative ways to solve problems. Digital is the age of innovation. Innovation is what leads to differentiation. There are many ways to differentiate and, therefore, there are many ways to pursue innovation.

ParadoxThe paradox is “a situation, person, or thing that combines contradictory features or qualities.” The paradox is also like the two sides of the coin, they are opposite, but complementary, to make it a whole. It is the result of two opposing truths existing side by side, which can be both right.

InitiateStrategicparadox Digital is the new paradigm shift to deeply connect the business nature of the dynamic ecosystem. The digital organization is more like a living thing which needs to keep growing and evolving. Going digital takes the strategic approach, multifaceted management disciplines, and structural procedure to drill down the critical success factors and develop differentiated business competency.

Is Business-IT Alignment a Paradox? In the industrial era, the "mission of IT" is to provide the information processing capability required by the business at a cost that represents value. Based on this description, an IT organization that is well aligned with the business is managed well enough. However, many organizations are transforming from industrial speed to digital speed, even business-IT well alignment is not mature enough to adapt to the changes, IT need transform from aligning with business to engaging with business, and the new mission of IT could be: How to become game changer to catalyze business growth by proactively engaging in strategic making & execution.

Innovation Paradox and Manageability Digital innovation has an expanded scope and it is benefiting the widest audience of the digital ecosystem. It is one of the differentiated business competencies which are underpinned by varying business elements such as people, process, and technology. To demystify innovation, businesses today have to make the strategic choices all the time of where and when and how they innovate. Often creativity is sparked by conflicts. There are paradoxes and tensions in innovation management. Organizations just have to strike the right balance, and improve the success rate of innovation management.
