- 11. Business Innovation • Business innovation is an organization's process for introducing new ideas, workflows, methodologies, services or products. • Business innovation should enable the achievement of goals across the entire organization, with sights set on accomplishing core business aims and initiatives. • Innovation often begins with idea generation, wherein ideas are narrowed down during brainstorming sessions after which leaders consider the business viability, feasibility and desirability of each idea.
- 13. User Experience • User experience (UX) refers to a person's emotions and attitudes about using a particular product, system or service. • It includes the practical, experiential, affective, meaningful and valuable aspects of human–computer interaction and product ownership. • Additionally, it includes a person’s perceptions of system aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency. • User experience may be considered subjective in nature to the degree that it is about individual perception and thought with respect to the system.

Digital Experience • A digital experience is the way in which a user interacts with content on the web and how a user can achieve a goal on the web. • Digital experience not only means reading and consuming content but interacting with web content. • A good digital experience is when a user feels connected to the content and tools that they use on the web.

For example, the first automobiles in the late 19th century were not a disruptive innovation, because early automobiles were expensive luxury items that did not disrupt the market for horse-drawn vehicles. • The market for transportation essentially remained intact until the debut of the lower-priced Ford Model T in 1908. • The mass-produced automobile was a disruptive innovation, because it changed the transportation market, whereas the first thirty years of automobiles did not.

- 25. Digital Transformation “To be clear, investing in technology to stay current or ahead of the curve isn't the same thing. Pretty much every company is putting money into new tools, platforms, and services. And, doing so is a matter of becoming tech-enabled, which doesn’t mean companies are actually changing to compete in a digital economy. With digital transformation, however, technology is driven by purpose, and that purpose is meant to reshape business.” (emphasis mine) I define it this way... The realignment of, or new investment in, technology, business models, and processes to more effectively compete in an ever-changing digital economy. Brian Solis, Principal Analyst, Altimeter Group
- 26. Digital Transformation • Digital transformation may be thought of as the third stage of embracing digital technologies: digital competence → digital usage → digital transformation, with usage and transformative ability informing digital literacy. • The transformation stage means that digital usages inherently enable new types of innovation and creativity in a particular domain, rather than simply enhance and support the traditional methods. Digital literacies: concepts, policies and practices By Colin Lankshear, Michele Knobel, 2008, p. 173
- 27. Digital Transformation • Some authors have posited that rapid advances in six primary areas have converged to create the “era of digital transformation”: • Hardware • Software • Networks (cables, wireless and social) • Commercial and consumer comprehension • Democratization of technology at scale (low costs & mass adoption) • Moving beyond human time to digital time
- 28. Digital Transformation • The evolutionary path to digital transformation followed a timeline that included the invention and development of the following: • Computers • Memory and data storage • Mass adoption of PCs and laptops • Local Networks • ERPs • The internet • Mobile networks and mobile phones • GPS • Mass global adoption of wireless devices (laptops, mobile phones, tablets, smartphones, wearables, sensors) • Proliferation of websites and online activity • Rapid adoption and expansion of online and mobile databases and search • Rapid adoption and expansion of online marketplaces and reviews
- 29. Digital Transformation • “Disruptions” and digital (business) transformation can be caused by numerous factors: • Technological innovations (technology-induced), which are more impactful than ever before. However, it’s not the technology that drives the disruption or transformation. It’s how it is used and adopted by customers, partners, competitors and various stakeholders. • Customer behavior and demands. This so-called customer-induced transformation and disruption is not necessarily related to technology. Technology often enables or, as just mentioned, causes it, when adopted and turned into business challenges. • Ecosystem-induced: economical changes, demands from partners who want you to adapt, regulatory changes, the list is endless.

- 31. Digital Transformation Four digital transformation realities to emphasize: • Business/IT relationship is key (closing the gap between both, focusing on the same goals and NOT overlooking the role of IT). • There is a common DNA among digital leaders and the path to digital transformation shows common traits (even if context matters). • As said, each industry is impacted, including your industry. Customers, employees, partners, nor competitors or new, disruptive players, will wait for business to catch up, regardless of industry. • Digital transformation is led from the top (or at least requires firm buy-in from the top – and all stakeholders).

Five Domains of Digital Transformation • Customers • Competition • Data • Innovation • Value Across these five domains, digital technologies are redefining many of the underlying principles of strategy and changing the rules by which companies must operate in order to succeed. Many old constraints have been lifted, and new possibilities are now available. Rogers, David L..

- 35. The Path to Digital The path to digital transformation is less about capitalizing on new technology; it requires business leaders to embrace a different way of bringing together people and processes with those technology tools as well as an openness to re-envisioning traditional business models and the mindset of a digital company in terms of how you engage your customers, empower your employees and optimize your operations to reinvent products and business models. -Microsoft
