is becoming ultra-connected. Breaking news spreads instantly across the
globe. Industry clockspeeds and adoption cycles of new technologies are
speeding up. The world is turning hyper-speed. 2) Technology is the #1 GamechangerScience and technologies are the biggest and leading change driver in
the world today. Adoption of new technologies sends powerful ripples
across economies, businesses, governments, societies and people’s lives.
Technology will hasten the re-writing the rules of the game,
everywhere.3) End of Business As UsualAccelerating change and gamechanging technologies are disrupting one
industry after another. Economies, enterprises and markets are
transiting from a relatively stable state to a perpetually effervescent
state. Systems, products and capabilities get obsolete quickly and
require constant improvement.4) Innovation is the Only GameThe advantage is shifting from the “bigger and more efficient” to the
“faster and more innovative”. Many industries and corporate giants will
be disrupted by ingenious enterprises that imagine new opportunities,
create untapped value and captures blue ocean markets – FIRST. DO YOU KNOW THAT:- The world system is transforming from the
Industrial Economy to the Innovation Economy, which has
revolutionary impact similar to or greater than the Industrial Revolution. Al Gore: “The global economy is being transformed by changes far greater in speed
and scale than any other in human history.” Future of Work expert,
London Business School Professor Lynda Gratton: “We are in the biggest transformation ever. Even bigger than
Industrial Revolution”- As we enter the Innovation Economy, everything is
up for re-imagination and re-invention. The old rules of business,
industries and consumption is falling apart and giving way to
information-powered and digitalized processes, products and solutions. Mary
Meeker of Kleiner Perkins calls this “the re-imagination of nearly everything”.
McKinsey estimates that US$14-33 trillion of economic impact will be created
annually in 2025 by disruptive innovations. Al Gore: “We are living with,
and in, Earth Inc.: national policies, regional strategies and long accepted
economic theories are now irrelevant to the new realities of our new
hyper-connected, tightly integrated, highly interactive, and technologically
revolutionanized economy.”- The rate of change is speeding up and will soon become unmanageable
for most governments, enterprises and individuals. The magnitude of
change we experienced in the last ten years could be compressed into the next
five. This is driven by new inventions, rapid technological adoption, digital technologies
and the Internet.Bill Gates: “Business in going to change more in the next ten years than it has in
the last fifty.”Peter Diamandis,
Chairman of X Prize Foundation and Singularity University: “Over the next eight years, three billion new individuals will be
coming online, joining the global conversation, and contributing to the global
economy. Their ideas – ideas we’ve never
before had access to – will result in new discoveries, products, and inventions
that will benefit us all.”- The old efficiency-based strategies and competencies
that enabled enterprises to compete in the past are necessary but insufficient
conditions for future success. Game-changing business models, digital strategies, and innovative
capabilities are now the critical ingredients for success.Gary Hamel, World’s
Leading Business Thinker: “Somewhere
out there is a bullet with your company’s name on it. Somewhere out there is a
competitor, unborn and unknown, that will render your strategy obsolete. You can’t dodge the bullet – you’re going to
have to shoot first. You’re going to have to out-innovate the innovators.” DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ABOUT:The Innovation Economy that features
