Think Like A Cannibal – Why Digital is Eating the World

Today, the Climate of Change is that we live in exponential times. What does that mean? Innovative business models and enterprises that were once considered fantastical are not only succeeding, but scaling rapidly. Organizations are challenging the status quo and soaring to billion dollar valuations. To keep pace with its citizen’s needs, government are also evolving in unprecedented ways.  How are they doing it? They are deviating from tradition and creating an environment where innovators thrive and technology-equipped citizens can serve themselves. Technologies and trends including advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, blockchain, big data, networks, augmented reality, additive manufacturing and collaborative connected platforms create new possibilities for customers and citizens. The new digital mindset and technologies are forcing organizations to either “disrupt or be disrupted”.
