Uber, the world’s largest taxi company, owns no vehicles. Facebook, the world’s most popular media owner, creates no content. Alibaba, the most valuable retailer, has no inventory. And Airbnb, the world’s largest accommodation provider, owns no real estate. Something interesting is happening. by Techcrunch, March 2015
Digital Transformation - Take your business from digital ready to digital first
Digital Storm is fundamentally changing business. To succeed in this disruptive environment, organizations will need to offer new experiences, establish a new business model, and devise new ways of thinking. It requires learning and adapting in engineering departments, software development teams, and IT organization.
Business executives will face a hard choice: Either digitally reinvents their enterprises or watch as their businesses decompose around them. However, most transitions fail because the companies and executives underestimate the complexity, cultural resistance, internal stakeholders' power.
Customers are coming to expect not only best-in-class digital experience through products or services from manufacturers but also new ways of communication, cultural behavior, passion from key executives (like Richard Branson - Virgin).
Even the most established and well-run companies often underestimate the challenges in making the transition in technology and business model.
Advice is everywhere: Engage with customers in early, low-cost, ’lean startup’ way: Minimize the scope and time it takes to run experiments that are using the new wave of startup theories.
Cornerstones of the digital economy
- The Vision or ’Why’ - the reason your product or service exists.
The people don’t buy what you do. People buy WHY you do it! by Simon Sinek
That’s why what we’re selling is organizational transformation. The software just happens to be the part we’re able to build & ship (and the means for us to get our cut). We’re selling a reduction in information overload, relief from stress, and a new ability to extract the enormous value of hitherto useless corporate archives. We’re selling better organizations, better teams. by Stewart Butterfield / Slack Pre-Launch Employee Memo /
Jeff Bezos Maintains Amazon’s Killer Company Culture
Many companies describe themselves as customer-focused, but few walk the walk. Most big technology companies are competitor focused. They see what others are doing, and then work to follow fast.
Bezos displays a willingness to fail: One area where I think we are especially distinctive is a failure. I believe we are the best place in the world to fail (we have plenty of practice!), and failure and invention are inseparable twins. To invent you have to experiment, and if you know in advance that it’s going to work, it’s not an experiment. Most large organizations embrace the idea of invention, but are not willing to suffer the string of failed experiments necessary to get there.

- We are all digital Startups now
A vision should be stable, but your strategy needs to be iterated on and refined until you find product/market fit.
In the mobile world, you don’t win customer on technology. You win on better experience by gokart labs 2015.
Service Design Tools: Over the years, service designers have developed blueprints and tools for placing the customer and service stakeholders at the heart of service design and innovation projects. Customer Experience (CX) is a collection of ingredients and recipes to design delicious customer experiences.
Startup Secrets: If you’re not solving a valuable problem, you’re unlikely to build any great value.
Is the problem Unworkable? Does your solution fix a broken business process where there are real, measurable consequences to inaction? Will someone get fired if the issue is not addressed?
Is fixing the problem Unavoidable? Is it driven by a mandate with implications associated with governance or regulatory control? For example, is it driven by a fundamental requirement for accounting or compliance?
Is the problem Urgent? Is it one of the top few priorities for a company? In selling to enterprises, you’ll find it hard to command the attention and resources to get a deal done if you fall below this line.
Is the problem Underserved? Is there a conspicuous absence of valid solutions to the problem you’re looking to solve? Focus on the whitespace in a market or segment.

- TRUST for digital economy
Blockchain technology: Redefining trust for a global, digital economy trust bearing and encapsulating of the value of money throughout history.
Just as importantly, blockchain technology will facilitate the future that technologists, governments and businesses are already planning for. Many believe the Internet of Things (IoT), in which potentially hundreds of billions of devices will transact and share information across a complex array of communication lines, will be insecure and inefficient unless it’s built on a blockchain structure. (IBM report)
