An Evolution from a System view to a Platform view.
A platform view of a business emphasizes the value of connections.
What’s different now is that new digital opportunities
and evolving threats, including new commercial and ethical challenges, reveal that .
Companies should exploit the "Platform effect" throughout their businesses and specifically in:
- Managing Delivery
- Managing Talent
- Executing effective leadership
Managing Delivery:
- Building out bimodal platforms for delivery of better digital performance (Refer to the bimodel figure)
- Bimodal have captured the global business moodwith leading companies increasingly separating the more exploratory parts of their businesses from those that exploit the well-established business.
Managing Talent:
- Digital has evolved from an innovative trend to core competency.
- The biggest talent gaps are around information — big data, analytics, and information management — followed by business knowledge/acumen. Worryingly, many of these gaps are the same ones CIOs cited four years ago.
Executing effective leadership:
- Adapting CIO leadership style to exploit a platform effect and build a network of digital leadership inside and outside the entreprise.
