We are in the midst of a digital tsunami. Digital technologies have progressed exponentially over the last decades and a tipping point has been reached. We are seeing new intelligent programs beat the best human experts in complex domains. We are witnessing the emergence of new digital leaders that are dominating multiple business sectors on the strength of their agile digital platforms/services and are threatening to eclipse traditional leaders.
Further the pace of progress in digital technologies shows no signs of slowing down. All industries are susceptible to the forces of digital transformation and all executives are confronted by the dynamics of digital disruption. There will be significant new opportunities as the underlying forces of digital disruption and value creation are understood and leveraged. This will include opportunities for both transforming existing businesses and creating new startups. Success in this rapidly changing world will require both a solid understanding of digital products, services and business models and an inspirational leadership style to be bold, take risks and lead complex change.
