Understanding the digitalization of your business

Understanding the digitization of your business is one of the foremost core issues in enterprise and society today.

The “digital” impact has and continues to be profound in particular in how this technological era is not only changing value and monetization methods but the disruption to the fabric of society, jobs and structural demand and supply models.

I wrote these books during the second half of 2014 and early 2015 with the help of many friends past and present. The aim is to explore a theme of the present time – digitization and the information economy , as part of the Business In the Digital Economy Series, Palgrave macmillan International Business Series.

The books are practitioner based, establishing current professional business and IT practice examples of how companies are addressing the transformation effect of “digital” on their business models, leadership, culture, skills and their enterprise architecture.

The books value can be leveraged in four key areas

• Practical Business focused case studies from real examples of digital business models and their use.

• Current latest thinking in Digital strategy by world authoritative academic research sources

• Illustrations of Digital Business solutions supported by practical Enterprise Architecture techniques and models from Leading International Standards – The Open Group and Working Groups including Open Platform 3.0™ Forum.

• Critical thinking and guidance using novel digital enterprise models and ecosystem thinking supported by practical monetization methods and digital design capability pattern examples.

Digital technologies disrupt incumbent solutions such as ERP , CRM and infrastructure by cutting across how human, social group exchanges and machine automation boundaries are connected and enabled. Several existing approaches to agile design are attempting to bridge the divide we are seeing in traditional architecture and business model design and the new “digital” technologies of social networks, mobile, big data, cloud computing, Internet of things, machine learning, AI , Virtual and Augmented reality, cyber security, 3D Printing, Robotics, Nano-engineering and many others. In the other case we see many examples of new companies Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter, über and many others that are born into the digital economy setting up hyper scale impact in a new era of connected business. These books provide examples of how this divide has changed the very business of industries and seeking to show how digital technologies have been exploited to change and build existing and new digital business.

New Books coming in 2015
