Business transformation is the change on a grand level and it is a thorny journey full of uncertainty, velocity, complexity, and ambiguity.

Change is inevitable, organizational change has become a common practice within an organization, but too often changes are made as a reaction to outer impulses, crises, and demands. This is the bureaucracy’s way of meeting the challenges. A digital transformation is achieved via dynamic Strategy-Execution-Change lifecycle management, although it is not all linear steps, but an iterative, ongoing and upgoing change continuum.

The purpose of the book “Change Insight” is to dig deeper to analyze the psychology behind changes and handle problems and changes at the level of the mindset, and explore people-centric change management philosophy and practices.

Initiatechangewithwatermetophors Organizations are a huge melting pot of various personalities and depending on the generation the employees belong to.

Initiate Metaphorical Perception about Digital Transformation The shift to digital cuts across industrial sectors, geographic territories, and leadership roles. The digital transformation is now spreading rapidly to enable organizations of all shapes and sizes to reinvent themselves. Change is inevitable, and the speed of change is increasing. Although we have to change with the "tide," we have to stand firm on our principles which would guide us to change for better and forward. We have to engage our sixth sense to decipher when to make incremental changes, and when to make a big leap. We also have to re-imagine "the art of possible," and convey a clear vision with vivid analogs or metaphorical perceptions about digital transformation, to make the journey foresightful, fun, innovative, goal driven and laser focus.

Can you “Move out of your Comfort Zone” Change is the new normal. Change is situational. It happens when something starts or stops, or when something that used to happen in one way starts happening in another. But acceptance of change is transitional, and “moving out of your comfort zone" can be used at all levels and as a starting point for change. It might sound like a cliche, the trick is understanding that moving out of a comfort zone leads to the creation of a new comfort zone which in turn will require you to move out "of" it again. This continuous moving "out" of your comfort zone is complemented by the cycle of self-development. There is a classic fable about a lion and a gazelle to analogize such a "surviving and thriving cycles": The lion wakes up and starts running otherwise it will not catch lunch. The gazelle does the same but, in this case, to avoid becoming lunch. Either way, you have to move to survive. This principle can be applied in a physical sense as well. The human body is designed for motion and physical effort.

A “Bridge-Like” Mind Digital means flow, the mind flow, the information and knowledge flow. Everything starts from a point, a thought, a drop.... and later when it flows, it keeps getting added values or similar thoughts and at the end, we get a result we chase continuously. Like drops of water when it starts flowing it may not know that one day it can also reach the ocean but when few drops like that keep getting added each time it becomes a river and few rivers when flows together it can reach the ocean continuously concentrates only on flowing irrespective of situations.

Grow a Digital Business Like a Vegetable Garden A digital organization is a living business which is organic, alive, holistic, vibrant, energetic, responsive, fluid, and innovative, in the relationship with its environments. Metaphorically, Running a digital organization is like growing a vegetable garden, where each capability is a different type of vegetable growing in the garden. What you want is the right mix of productive plants to match your culinary needs. From designing a landscape to nurturing an environment, there are both art and science to either grow a garden or run a digital business.

Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking; 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 your voice, deepen your digital footprints, and match your way for human progression.
