This Executive Update continues from where I left off in Part V by examining more domains and industries where blockchain technology will have the most significant impact.

This Advisor provides a framework for scaling up innovation so that new ideas are not presented by just one team or segment of the organization, they are accumulated from every nook and corner. 

Businesses judge innovation in terms of the value it provides in either handling existing problems or tapping into new opportunities. A frameork such as BDFAB is most helpful in channeling an organization’s innovation efforts.

In his prelude to the Digital Technology &Innovation Bootcamp, Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant Don MacIntyre presented how you and other leaders in your organization can leverage agile practices to drive value in your businesses.

Cutter’s Digital Transformation Bootcamp is designed to get a team thinking analytically and strategically about how its industry is changing. The Bootcamp immerses an executive team in the challenges and opportunities digital transformation presents so that they can walk away with new ideas and strategies that have been vetted by other smart business leaders.

As we explore in this Executive Report, it is imperative to stay ahead of the competition by building the capabilities and strategic flexibility to disrupt oneself and the market by adopting the emerging and disruptive technologies most relevant to your current and future business models as quickly as possible — the idea being to try soon, fail fast to learn fast rather than wait to be disrupted.

This Executive Report explores the hypothesis that the risk of losing out on an initial competitive advantage by not innovating as soon as possible can outweigh the risk of possible failure arising out of immediate adoption. Thus, it is imperative to begin adopting the disruptive and emerging technologies most relevant to your current and future business models as quickly as possible — the idea being to try soon, fail fast to learn fast rather than wait to be disrupted.

The IIoT risk is real. A strategy to manage this risk is a must, and the components discussed in this Advisor can help.
