How to thrive in the world of digitization

-

We are embarking on a new era of digitization. Data has become ubiquitous and an integral part of our existence. 40% of the world populations are connected to the internet. By 2018, there would be more connected devices (machine to machine), overtaking the number of humans. As machines churn out more data, there will be a glaring need to store and glean them for more meaningful results. The technology, which had helped us for the last 3 decades, is slowly making way for more advanced technologies to store this humongous amount of data and analyze them. In 2013, 90 percent of the world’s data had been created in the past two years, and 80 percent of that is what’s called unstructured data, meaning clicks, comments, posts, pictures, chats, and so on. And while this digital exhaust often lives in different systems across the digital ether, the data is being aggregated. As the technology advances and more people use the internet, we are ushering our way into the era of digitization. Things will be different - with more advanced technologies, 
What is listed here is just the tip of the iceberg - more efficiency will be unearthed as we  evolve our technology and improve our networked economy. The list below gives some tips which can help us thrive in this world of digitization.
  • More learning: I see MOOC playing a greater role in making us aware and excel in the new technology era. Some of the sites which can help us are Coursera, Udemy and other Mooc site. I would request the readers to put in their MOOC site in the comments section.
  • More co-innovation: Corporation will try to tap into the competency of the vast community via co-innovation and co-creation. There will be more open systems in place where communities can dock and create their own systems - Threadless is a great example of this concept. Recent example, of #Pepsicrashtheipl , is the classic example of how the company created its ads by tapping into the creativity of its Fans.
  • More trust and consistency across the various brand outlets - With digitization, it is paramount that the customer feels the same while interacting with various Omni channel outlets of the brand.
  • More Networks: We will achieve more by being less with the power of networked economy where we can add and make temporary team to accomplish our task.
Digitization is the next disruption. We have to be ready for it or be disrupted. The next generation of successful entrepreneurs and corporations will be the one who comprehend this well. Don't you think so? Please give your comments below.

Pic Credit Blockchain is the kid in the technology block. Is it? We have been reading about it for the last 10 years. The rapid growth of cryptocurrencies and the remarkable rise and fall of currencies have been in the news. A couple of binge-worthy series on Netflix series also piqued my interest in this topic. With all this happening, I wanted a basic understanding of this topic. Some excellent MOOCs on the course did help. These MOOCs did help clear up the basics. I still missed the big picture.  What Can Blockchain Do for you? And this course was the one which did clear up some of the basic understandings of how blockchain can be put into business usage. The course instructor Lloyd Keays  did a great job breaking up the jargon and explaining it to a layman like me.  Some of the salient pointers from the course ( for future reference). 1.)
