#StratBlog Series 2: #Managing Digital Disruption Requires a #Strategy and the right #Mindset

The "Digital" movement is here!!!! and it is causing major disruption across all industries and the workforce everywhere.

What is Digital Disruption?
According to SAP Center for Digital Leadership, "Digital disruption is the change that occurs when new digital technologies and business models affect how an organization creates and retains value." 

How is it Disrupting?
This value can be seen as the digital ecosystem shifts from translating data into insights, to leveraging data to drive actions. All around us we are being disrupted by Big Data, IOT, Machine Learning, Blockchain, Analytics, and Digital Intelligence.

We are now at a significant tipping point, where technology is no longer the enabler, but influencer. Organizations are being forced to rethink their business strategies and workforce needed to stay relevant and competitive.

For the first time, organizations are being forced to break down silos and come together (Business, Finance, Procurement, Human Resources, IT, etc.) to create a unified operating model with enterprise synergies across people, process, and technology.

How are organizations Adopting this shift?
According to a digital business study conducted by MIT Sloan Management Review in 2016, Only 44% of respondents stated they were adequately preparing for disruptions due to digital trends. (http://sloanreview.mit.edu/2016-digital-business-interactive-tool/)

How do we Mitigate the"Digital"Readiness Risk?
  1. Digital Strategy to articulate the short, mid, and long term direction, outcomes, and value to the business.
  2. Digital Mindset to shift the culture and behaviors of the organization and workforce through transparency of expectations and outcomes.
  3. Digital Principles guide integrated decisions across people, process, and technology.
  4. Digital Experience delivers continuous engagement and connections to the individual stakeholders. 
  5. New or Optimize business models with the right resource and solution capabilities to execute the digital strategy.
  6. Manage technology innovation to influence and enable the future of work and digital transformation.

#StratBlog Series 3: #Change is Like a Roller Coaster

Change is Like a Roller Coaster You have been waiting in line for the past hour and you finally take your seat. As the announcement blares over the loudspeaker, the overhead bar lowers and firmly presses against your chest. The anticipation is at its peak as the sound of the cars are being pulled to the top of the crest, Click, Click, Click. The silence is deafening and you begin to question your decision. In a matter of seconds, the following emotions race through your mind: fear, uncertainty, and depression. Although many have experienced this roller coaster before, for others, this is very new. Depending on your past experience the situation will be very different. Why is change so difficult and unpredictable? The truth is, its not. Thousands of hours have been spent in researching the causes, effects, and attributes of change. There are several white papers, communities, models, etc. that outline the change process. The challenge is not the what, the challenge is in the how. ...

#StratBlog: HR-a-a-B (HR-as-a-Business) it’s time for HR to Run like a business.

HR-a-a-B (HR-as-a-Business) it’s time for HR to Run like a business. As organizations shift their business models to accommodate the ever changing economic, political, competitive, and digital landscapes, the expectation is that HR is also shifting how they work. HR needs to ensure the right people infrastructure is in place to drive business outcomes. Organizations are expecting HR to not only manage the programs to attract, engage, and retain talent, but to clearly align and articulate how HR is providing tangible business value and impact on key business metrics. However, based on a SAP study, The Future HR , we know this is a challenge . “79% Organizations consider it important for business KPIs and HR KPIs to be tightly aligned; only 30% are able to do so.” Having the opportunity to engage in value conversations with many key HR Executive customers, it is evident that in most cases HR is focused on measuring HR operational metrics, i.e. time to fill, # of ...

#StratBlog Series 4: “If it ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix it#

“If it ain’t Broke, Don’t Fix it” A friend of mine bought a brand new Ferrari; This car was a true man made sculpture. I remember looking at the car and I was just awed by the perfection. The exterior was designed to be aerodynamic and it is perfectly balanced to take corners at high speeds, the tires were created for exceptional road handling, and the engine tuned for maximum performance. Sitting in the drivers seat the interior was amazing. The high quality leather was designed for maximum comfort and the gauges and controls were perfectly arranged to enhance the overall experience. Six months later, I ran into the same friend and he was expressing his displeasure with his new car. He told me that he felt the engine was under powered, the car drove like a truck, and that he had challenges in keeping the gauges calibrated giving him inaccurate driving information. As he was speaking, I was thinking to myself, this is a Ferrari one of the most desirable cars in the world, this mus...
