Insight

Being insightful is the ability to see through things, either from the broader lens or deeper perspective.


A digital workplace is all about people-centricity, empathy, innovation, agility and high-level business maturity. Digital organizations are always on, inter-dependent and hyper connected, people are always the most important asset in any organization before, today, and future. 

In an ideal digital workplace, the organizational structure is solid enough to keep people or things in order; but fluid enough to keep information and ideas flowing.

              

Insight

 

Insight While information is an ingredient of knowledge; in order to interpret information, you need knowledge. Both information and knowledge are not the same as insight, but they are the foundation to capture insight. Insight is the ability to understand the cause and effect, see underneath the surface, break down conventional thinking boxes, dig into the root causes; as discovering the "truth" requires deep analysis to understand multiple opinions and emotions, multipath logic and different scenarios to define and solve problems.

Insight Insight is the act or result of understanding the inner nature of an entity or of seeing things intuitively. It is about penetrating. Being insightful is the ability to see through things, either from the broader lens or deeper perspective. Objective perception, contextualization, and paradox, etc, are a few characteristics of insight.

Insight upon INSIGHT If knowledge is manpower, wisdom is nature power, then insight is perhaps the bridge between manpower and nature power. There are multi-layer meanings upon insight.

Insight Insight is the ability to perceive clearly or deep penetration. Too often people may take the easy path, think and work at a superficial level rather than spend the time to understand what is going on underneath. Insight is about penetrating and sudden understanding of a complex situation or problem, identifying the root cause of a problem or the core issues of a situation which leads to resolution. The old saying metaphorized as: Insight is the vision via the “third eye.”

Insight vs Vision As businesses and the world move deeper and deeper into the digital world of VUCA -volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity, one of the most desired traits for leaders is VISION, because leadership is all about direction, it shows people where to go; and the other equally important leadership trait is INSIGHT, because it brings up the big WHY - why do you go where you are going and how to get there. So more specifically, what are apple to apple comparisons between vision vs. insight?

The “Future of CIO” Blog has reached 7 million page views with about #9600th blog posting in 59+ different categories of leadership, management, strategy, digitalization, change/talent, etc. The “Digital Master” book series includes 29 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. Blogging is not about writing, but about thinking and innovating 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.
