Effectiveness with IT solutions

The field of digital operations is entering a new, significantly more mature phase. Enablers and engagers are offering an ever-growing range of solutions for digitizing every element of operations, and the market is growing fast. However, focusing solely on the solutions available, and their technological implications, will only lead to confusion and paralysis. Instead, think in terms of problem statements and value creation opportunities, and the corresponding use case categories that will enable the proper solution. Then work back to evaluate the current market landscape for each of those categories. Finally, don’t wait for the perfect solution for each use case category, or the right answers to the many questions surrounding digital operations.
