Should you be focused on Digital Transformation or Innovation? As someone who has spent the past decade shouting from the rooftops about digital transformation, my answer may surprise you. I think the difficult truth is that it's time to give up on the term digital transformation. It's been abused for too long. Too many people have slapped the term on anything tech related, focusing on the 'digital' bit rather than the 'transformation' bit. I've been giving this a lot of thought recently because of my work with SymphonyAI. What we're doing in the #EnterpriseIT space is truly innovative. The platform itself is innovative, but the most impactful part of it is its ability to be an enabler of #transformation and #innovation for the enterprises that use it. But calling it an enabler of #DigitalTransformation just fell flat. I went in search of a new, better term and realized that it was there in front of me all along: innovation. As I've been working through my thoughts on what it means to drive innovation, I realized that it really lies at the intersection of three things: a vision for the future, a strategy to realize that vision, and a culture that can sustain it throughout the transformational journey. There is much more to come on this soon, but these have been a couple of 'aha' moments for me over the past week or so and I wanted to share. Here's my bottom line. As an #CIO or #ITLeader you should be focused on driving innovation — in all its forms — within your organization. It will be a deliberate act, but you'll need to focus on all three of these parts — vision, strategy, and culture — to make it happen. Thoughts?

**LinkedIn Post:** Are we truly embracing innovation in the digital age? 🤔 - Innovation isn't just about technological advancements; it's a mindset that inspires creativity and progress. - In a rapidly evolving world, being comfortable with the status quo can hinder growth and competitiveness. - Let's challenge ourselves to think beyond what's familiar, to break free from the mold and reimagine our industry's future. Why settle for good enough when greatness is within reach? - Incremental improvements may keep us afloat, but it's the disruptive ideas that propel us forward. - As leaders, it's our responsibility to foster a culture that nurtures innovation and celebrates bold ideas. - Remember, innovation thrives in environments that value experimentation, resilience, and collaboration. Change is inevitable, but growth is optional. 💡 - Embracing change opens doors to possibilities we never thought possible. - The willingness to adapt and evolve is what sets apart the pioneers from the followers. - Let's not fear the unknown but instead, let's embrace it as an opportunity to learn, grow, and shape the future. In a world where the only constant is change, how will you leave your mark? 🌟 - Will you be the trailblazer who dares to challenge the norms and redefine the industry? - Or will you be content with the status quo, watching as others shape the narrative of tomorrow? - The choice is yours, but remember, the future belongs to those who are bold enough to seize it. Let's reshape the narrative, rewrite the rules, and revolutionize the way we do business. 💥 Together, we can build a future that's not just innovative but extraordinary. #EmbraceChange #InnovateOrStagnate #XplodeMediaLtd.

Stumbled upon this piece that I shared in another space several years ago. Indeed, the beauty of the globe lies in its ever-evolving complexities that force humans to keep innovating to stay ahead of the curve. Innovation presents two realities: Anyone can ride on the wings of a new challenge to lead the market, and if existing market leaders must maintain their position, then they must prioritize innovation greatly. #Innovation #MarketLeadership #StayAheadOfTheCurve

Sharing key learnings from Book author and a Global Strategy & Innovation Leader, Rishad Tobaccowala from Globe Group Business Summit. https://lnkd.in/g3G3cg_J Strategy is about the Future *** Future Competitive Advantage > Strategy is not about Competing with the Current competitors > Strategy is about being ahead of competition or making competition irrelevant * The Future is not in the container of the Past * Success gets in the way of Innovation * Innovation team is the Team that is working on the company that can threaten or beat the current company. * Connected to other people, collaboration is key to gaining a competitive advantage * build-buy-borrow. Today's world is Borrowing for flexibility and buy to gain Agility * Connected to Change. When you change, you don't know what you're doing - this is why successful company and people resist change, because change is unknown and they might fail. * Change is difficult. * Never forget the people in the organisation who gets to execute the plans and strategies (especially during reorganisation and business transformation/Evolution) * The Incentive plan is a strategy. How you are paying and what you are paying for, is what you get and people will deliver. Operational Excellence is Historical and it does not encourage Innovation (can have mistakes/errors). * P&G. Biggest dirt remover company P&G is successful because they look at people and customer is Boss. * Domino's Pizza is a pizza delivery company, more than the pizza. * The Future (Strategy) of Automobiles is Electric/Combustion, Owning/Access of Mobility * Leaders must continuously learn, so their people will continously leader. It is by learning that we can improve and make things better, to Innovate, and become Strategic (working on the Future Competitive Advantage). * Adapt to the environment, because the environment will not adjust to us * Zero-based budget and zero-based calendar to reset every quarter or every year * Learn for 10 minutes per day. * Build a case for an alternative way (the exact opposite of the current business) to grow. #GSummit #ConnectedForSuccess

🚀 Embracing Innovation: Leading Change for a Better Tomorrow 🌟 Innovation isn't just about new gadgets or flashy technologies—it's about sparking meaningful change and creating a brighter future. As someone deeply passionate about driving innovation, I believe it's our responsibility to challenge the norm, break barriers, and pave the way for progress. Innovation isn't confined to a single industry or discipline—it's a mindset. It's about daring to dream big, taking calculated risks, and continuously learning and adapting. Whether it's revolutionizing processes, harnessing cutting-edge technologies, or reimagining customer experiences, innovation is the key to staying ahead in today's fast-paced world. As I embark on this journey, I am committed to being a catalyst for change.

The biggest mistake organizations make while building a culture of innovation is … Making innovation an event based approach.. driving once in a year hackathon-like event and then not do anything else about it at all Instead why not make innovation - fun, collaborative, actionable, systematic and tangible? It’s not easy or straightforward for sure. I had the incredible opportunity to share some of our case stories driving F.A.S.T. Innovation model in the last few years @ the Applications Development Meet hosted by a leading technology company in Trident Hotels New Delhi. It was great to share the F.A.S.T innovation model with technology leaders from Europe and India, A moment of gratitude was the standing ovation received at the end! It's moments like these that reaffirm the commitment to driving meaningful change and innovation . Big thanks to everyone who has supported us on this journey Let's continue to innovate, inspire, and make a difference together. Live. Laugh. Learn. 💫 #Innovation #KeynoteSpeaker #applocationdevelopmentandmaintence #StandingOvation
