Managing at the Crossroad: Sparks, Halos and the New Business of Meaning
SpeakerS:
Ben Pring Center for the Future of Work Cognizant Technology Solutions
Paul Roehrig, PhD Center for the Future of Work Cognizant Technology Solutions
Today’s high-flying companies are winning by capturing customer insight and market meaning from the flood of information swirling around all of us. In fact, the digital signature enveloping people, organizations, and devices contain a richness of business meaning that can drive mind share and market leadership. This is far beyond “Big Data” or common analytics. Decision makers from almost every industry, company, and business process are now at a Crossroads where they can re-imagine how they innovate, produce, and relate to customers. This session will explore the context and implications of this shift. • “Halos” emerge, “sparks” fly. The digital signature that people, things, processes, and corporations create through each and every digital interaction – are the new gold mine of value that leading edge companies are beginning to map and exploit and from which new commercial opportunities are being sparked. • People, devices, and code are reshaping business. Information from our digitized personal and work lives – searches, clicks, purchases, geolocation, process collaboration, song choice, etc. – are helping companies reshape a wide range of what they do and how they do it. This trend is accelerating across global corporations in many sectors. • There is a clear path for value. A model is emerging that explains how markets, competitive strategies, and business structures are being impacted by the white heat of digitization. • Re-Code Your Enterprise to “manage at the Crossroad.” Apple, Google, Pandora, Hulu, Facebook, and others may be lighting the way, but almost every company in the Global 2,000 has opportunity based on this new model. There are tactical, actionable, steps for enterprises to win in the new code rush and avoid an extinction event.
