Participant of Leadership and Workforce Transformation in the Digital Era

THE SEA CHANGE IN THE DIGITAL ERA COMES WITH ABRUPT BEHAVIOUR CHANGES
 

The business landscape faced sea changes ever since the emerging of digital connectivity. We witnessed the gradual evolution from the agricultural to the industrial era to the servicing industry era. All of us know that changes were never as explosive as for the digital era whereby the once archetypal world is suddenly democratised and fragmentised with each tiny effort from one single touchpoint able to ignite a complete and drastic upheaval of many of the once best practices globally overnight, and shaking many of the hundred-year business giants mercilessly who would be replaced by millions of new startups pushing the business frontage to relentlessly and seamlessly.

The once confined world, particularly the business world is suddenly becoming without limit.  The crux of the “physical world” once restraining our business operation bursts like a bubble, releasing all inner entropy adventitiously going out to the virtual world, a boundary-less arena where businesses can tap into for exploring their blue oceans. The sea change comes with abrupt behavior changes, not just for the consumers, the producers and all business corporates, but for all of us individually and collectively.

 

THE URGENCY FOR BUSINESS LEADERS TO CULTIVATE THEIR TEAMS TO LIVE UP TO THE DIGITAL ERA

As business leaders, on one hand, we need to strive for business expansion both offline and online, fighting against the conventional business incumbent to unleash the potential from their core business competence and reaching out to untapped market demands online. On the other hand, they have to manage their most valuable resources that fuel their business development and power their fast-paced progression on the online business – that is their human resources who are supposedly needed to be digitally competent and savvy to help the corporates to live up to the new digital era requirements.

Facing talent shortage on the digital front on one hand and at the same time carrying a large bunch of existing manpower in the incumbent businesses, how can business leaders transform their workforce swiftly to be digitally geared, and manage efficiently and effectively to ensure their digital armies are agile and volatile, thriving themselves and contributing to business performances in an aligned manner?  What human challenges are posted to the business leaders, and what alternatives do they have to face the harsh and tough competitive environment and to remain sustainable?

 

I am inspired by Dr Charm’s invaluable knowledge and experience sharing.
