AGILE DIGITAL
– using and selling the data produced by a car . Interestingly , we now almost take ‘ cloud ’ for granted – had we answered this question 24 months ago , cloud would have been the first consideration , but it is now table stakes . It is no longer if a business will go cloud but more a question of what type of cloud . We have moved far beyond the infrastructure conversation – the how – and into the what and why a business looks to embrace digital . In terms of the next specific technology , it really depends on the maturity of the individual company or project – businesses are only just reaching the point of a digital fabric rather than a bunch of digital projects . Prescriptive working , driven by AI and fed by masses of sensor data , holds a huge amount of promise for the B2B / industrial markets and we see some very encouraging early shoots in asset maintenance and field service .
How important is it to develop a digital culture and change management plan when it comes to digital agility , and what would you say are the best practices for these two concepts ? Communicating the vision of digital is vital but most employees these days accept the constant and relentless change of business – but a business still does need huge buy in from the workforce to be on board with constant evolution . The good news is that most businesses actually have this : people are realistic , especially in a post pandemic world that has enforced a huge mindset to accept change and exploit it . Again it comes down to people and culture – as long as people feel able and valued to contribute new ideas , it is going to work . This demands masses of communication to lead to embracing change at this pace . businesschief . com 123
