Innerprofundity

Isn't it a tough journey to write 9300 blog postings - to pursue the digital way of brainstorming, innovating and story-telling profoundly.

Now we live in a hyper-connected and over-complex digital ecosystem, digital flow changes the landscape of communication, collaboration, and connection, 

With "VUCA" characteristics of digitalization, digital profundity is in demand; a profound mind is deep, but not depressing; sophisticated, but not complicated; knowledgeable, but not arrogant; creative, but not naïve; critical, but not negative; and mature, but not aged.

           



   Profundity 


Innerlogicinprofundity? Increasing pace of changes, overwhelming growth of information, fierce competitions, frequent disruptions are the new normal. Profound leaders and professionals are open and deep, able to apply multiple thinking processes to expand their perspective of circumstances, and leverage nonlinear logic in dealing with varying situations wisely.

Innatesophistication We live in a complex world with a mixed bag of new and old; fresh knowledge and misinformation, truth and false, etc. To deal with complex problems and interact with hyperdiverse people in our modern society, being sophisticated implies being authentic, intelligent, articulate, decent, consistent, and profound, etc.

Insight Gaps in the Boardroom Leadership is about envisioning and leading the business towards its future. Top leadership roles such as board directors are supposed to be the guiding force in the enterprise. In practice, the digital era is volatile, complex, uncertain and ambiguous. Many say that the multitude of gaps (thinking, knowledge, innovation, strategy execution, etc.) are enlarged because different industries, organizations, functions, and individuals evolve with varying speed. To lift up the board leadership maturity, minding the insight gap is challenging, but a critical step for improving leadership effectiveness. Leadership is an influence, influence comes from progressive mindsets, profound insight, and step-wise actions. Insight is an understanding of cause and effect based on the identification of relationships and behaviors within a model, context, or scenario.

Innovategloballeadership We live in such a diverse and interdependent global world with unpredictability, uncertainty, exponential growth, and fierce competitions. Organizations don’t exist in silos but within global systems. Being global is about crossing not just borders but also cultural divides between business, government, and social sectors. Global citizens today have a diversity of thoughts, characters, cognitive differences, skills, styles, and generation account, etc.



Profound Traits of Senior LeadershipLeadership is about the future and change. More specifically, leadership is about creating a powerful future that is compelling in the present, utilizes the best talents, capabilities, and resources of their people and organization to drive changes and produce meaningful and valuable results. People lead at different levels. The senior leadership of the organization or the society is like the steering wheel to ensure their ships are moving in the right direction towards the uncharted water. Senior leadership is neither equal to seniority nor the big title, it implies the high level of intellectual and emotional maturity, strategic foresight, profound insight, decision wisdom, and high-level leadership influence.

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 7.5 million page views with about 9300+ blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The content richness is not for its own sake, but to convey the vision and share the wisdom. 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 to human progression.
