Digital Transformation Disruption Elements and Framework You Need To Consider When Starting Your Business Transformation
My Digital Transformation disruption framework embraces three main enablers. To be truly disruptive and scale, you must consider the three views parallel. The business and commercial views directly enable the innovation of your Digital Transformation technology journey and vice versa.
“Innovation that can’t be scaled commercially is merely an improvisation.”
1) The Business View – Enabled By Technology
- – Enable new frontiers/businesses.
- – Ability to adapt/imbibe/invent new business models.
- – Ability to think around customers.
- – Bottom line improvement.
2) The Commercial View – Enables Predictable And Scalable Growth.
- – All technology is subscription-based.
- – There is Little/No CAPEX on technology.
- – Deliverables are Outcome-based, not T&M.
- – Everything “As A Service.”
3) The Technology View – Flexible Technology Stacks
- – Emerging “smart” technologies (social media, analytics/big data, AI/cognitive analysis, mobile apps, M2M/IoT, wearables, sensors, augmented reality, 3D printing, robotics, drones, and another new “smart tech”).
- – Virtualization and Modernization of IT. (Automation, electronic workflows, electronic documentation, enterprise network).
- – Digitization (Virtualization of storage/service/end-user computing, Cloud Infrastructure (IaaS/PaaS) and Enterprise Applications (SaaS, BPaaS)
3) The technology view consists of seven elements and describes how we can interact with technology:
- 1. Sense (Sensors, Wearables, IoT),
- 2. Think (Big data, Analytics, AI, Cognitive analysis),
- 3. Connect (Mobility/Apps, WiFi, Hotspot 2.0, VOLTE, SDN, Beacon),
- 4. Visualize (VR, Augmented Reality, 3D printing, Immersive computing),
- 5. Reach (Social media, Crowdsourcing, Collaborations),
- 6. Act (Robotics/Bots, RPA, M2M, Drones) and;
- 7. Exchange (Blockchain, Document Digitization).
Each element tile in the table below provides further descriptions of the Business, Commercial and Technology Views; these are just some popular technologies that can assist with your Digital Transformation Disruption Journey:

Technology View
loT
The Internet of thing
The Internet of things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
Wb
Wearables
Wearables are smart electronic devices worn close to and on the surface of the skin, where they detect, analyze, and transmit information concerning, e.g., body signals such as vital signs and ambient data and which allow in some cases immediate biofeedback to the wearer.
Sn
Sensor
Sensor are a device, module, machine, or subsystem whose purpose is to detect events or changes in its environment and send it to other electronics
Nf
New Frontier, New business
(Nf) – Ability to open up a new frontier, new business.
Ca
Cognitive Analysis
Cognitive Analysis is the study of what people know, how they think, how they organize and structure information, and how we learn when pursuing an outcome they are trying to achieve.
Ml
Machine Learning
Machine Learning is the study of computer algorithms that improve automatically through experience. Also known as a subset of artificial intelligence.
Ai
Artificial Inteligence
Artificial Intelligence is sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals.
Al
Analytics
Analytics is the systematic computational analysis of data or statistics. Send for the discovery, interpretation, and communication of meaningful patterns in data.
Bd
Big Data
Big Data is a field that treats ways to analyze, systematically extract information from, or deal with data sets that are too large or complex to be dealt with by traditional data-processing application software.
Nm
