The progress of the world needs to be pulled together and pushed forward by innovators, change agents across the globe, who can think globally, decide insightfully, and act determinately.

All organizations and industries should reinvent themselves for harnessing innovation, renew fresh energy, integrate old and new, and lead changes we all would like to see.

Last week, I participated a global book exhibition event in one of the culture-enriching cities of the world. Our society is now moving to the digital era of hyper-connectivity, interdependence with fierce competition. The audience of this fair is very diversified, and the agenda of the exhibition focuses on digitalization, globalization and innovation.

Viability: information is growing exponentially; the pace of change is increasing, the world becomes flattened and fluid, the border of knowledge domains is blurred, knowledge also gets stale sooner than what you thought about due to rapid change and exponential growth of information. This is particularly important for the publishing industry to digitizing and optimizing their processes to increase viability and accelerate the speed. Regardless which industry you are in, the silo processes should be broken down, and value-added solutions should delight different sorts of stakeholders. It’s strategic imperative to design a viable industry for enjoying a powerful tailwind.

The viable digital organizations are solid enough to give some sort of forms and meaning and open enough to its environment allowing the movement of information, ideas. all key factors interact in a dynamic. Viability is one of the very characteristics of the society to keep organizations thriving for the long term. Forethoughtful organizations leverage design thinking to reinvent an organization that can enforce collaboration and harness innovation by maintaining viability, and making strategic effects to improve innovation performance.

Diversity: Digitalization makes significant impacts on every aspect of the business from people, processes, to technology and capability both horizontally and vertically. The question of greater diversity bringing greater creativity always depends on what we're talking about. The first most successful societies were diverse mixtures of peoples. The words come from the thoughts. The diversity of thought is on demand, for boosting collective creativity and harness collective wisdom; for lifting the spirit of our society. This is particularly true for the publishing industry.

Diversity is the hotbed to spark creativity. Developing an effective globalization agenda requires us to be willing to listen to diverse viewpoints, broaden the perspective to fix misperceptions, break down old traditions, outdated knowledge, and create fresh insight. able to wear different perception glasses, experiment with different ways of doing the same things. Diversified audience of this event have a cogitative difference and diversified worldview for integrating significant building blocks of new and existing ideas and concepts. It is an excellent engine for creativity. People were brainstorming, sharing fresh ideas and personal experience; they challenge each other to have to translate/transform their PoVs into new expressions.

Globility: People with global background are more tolerant of cultures and customs other than their own, catalyze innovation and drive progressive changes. In order to reinvent a traditional industry, it's important to clarify the difference between local and global principles, common beliefs and global wisdom, develop a set of global rules & principles to synchronize, scale up and sustain change effects for harmonizing collective progress on the global scale.

Innovation can happen anywhere across the global organization and ecosystem. Global leaders and professionals envision an innovative global trends, continue to improve interdisciplinary knowledge proficiency, develop cultural empathy, and have a variety of professional experience dots to connect for spurring innovation. Global audience in this show desire to learn, open their minds to learn from global intellectuals or organization, to open up fresh ideas for collaboration, streamline people and process management, bring invaluable inputs and help the development of those ideas to enhance focus on commercially relevant compounds and achieve business value.

Although the information is abundant and knowledge are only clicks away, organizations and industries need fresh insight and foresight to move faster because knowledge can be outdated so soon and processes have frictions. When looking at global economy with creative people around the world, it’s important to develop an effective innovation agenda that keep moving the needles forward, overcoming frictions and cultural inertia, understand the cause-effect of many complex problems facing global society, in order to co-solving them smoothly.

Good exhibitions open people’s mind, great cultural activities encourage innovation. There is a pendulum swinging between people and process, engagement and hierarchy; the emergence of potential opportunities and risks for exploring digital is likely to follow a nonlinear pattern with accelerated speed. The progress of the world needs to be pulled together and pushed forward by innovators, change agents across the globe, who can think globally, decide insightfully, and act determinately.
