Radical Disruption

A central question to answer as a digital executive is “Is my company ready to be disrupted?”

Critical to this question is the premise that we are going to be disrupted fairly radically if we don’t get ready. Do I personally believe a “radical change” is happening now?  Of course, if we don’t believe that, no need to ask the question.

If we do believe it could happen, it is well worth getting away from the office to consider what to do very soon to avert it. Taking the time to have a serious answer might make all the difference in success or failure three years from now.

The next question is this. If I or our company isn’t ready, what should I do about it? It is important to think through what I personally should do as opposed to what “the company” should do. I can control my plan. I can only influence the corporate approach.

The answer will set your agenda for the next six months.

Let the change begin.
