Designing the New Enterprise: Issues and Strategies

Designing the New Enterprise: Issues and Strategies

By Dion Hinchcliffe on April 5, 2014

I’m looking forward to traveling to Paris, France the week after next to provide the opening keynote to the Intersection Conference. Intersection is an intriguing new multi-disciplinary event organized by Milan Guenther that’s intended to explore how we should design our organizations for the future. Milan also wrote a terrific book by the same name, […]

What is the Future of Work?

What is the Future of Work?

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 27, 2014

Much has been made recently about one of the stand out trends of the times we live in: Everything is becoming infused with technology. Software is eating the world it is said. Some have claimed that next it might even eat the jobs, which to some degree is almost certainly the case. With only a […]

Rethinking Work In the Collaborative Era

Rethinking Work In the Collaborative Era

By Dion Hinchcliffe on March 2, 2014

Over the last few years, there has been an enormous amount of industry discussion about how the digital world is changing the way we work.

Digital Business Ecologies: How Social Networks and Communities Are Upending Our Organizations

By Dion Hinchcliffe on February 4, 2014

As we’ve watched digital networks reshape just about every aspect of business these days, I’ve found that we’ve struggled to come up with the right words and ways to describe a very different way of working. From vast app stores and pervasive streams of big data to enterprise social networks and customer engagement, the rules […]

How We Gave Up Control Over The Social Web

How We Gave Up Control Over The Social Web

By Dion Hinchcliffe on November 12, 2013

A short but pithy piece over the weekend by Dave Winer titled “Why the Web 2.0 model is obsolete” got me thinking about where we’ve ended up with social media after nearly ten years. Blogs, wikis, and other tools of easily shared self-expression from the early days have given away in recent years to a […]

What Most Digital Strategy Underestimates: Scale and Interconnected Change

What Most Digital Strategy Underestimates: Scale and Interconnected Change

By Dion Hinchcliffe on November 4, 2013

Over the last couple of years, I’ve been advising IT and business leaders that they need to gear up their digital/social/mobile strategies to match the advances taking place in the technology world today. On its face, this only makes sense. Technology change continues to accelerate and the growth in the cloud, social media, mobility, big […]

Imagining the Future of the Enterprise

Imagining the Future of the Enterprise

By Dion Hinchcliffe on October 23, 2012

This afternoon at a workshop in Stuttgart, Germany at the KnowTech conference I explored our latest conception of the many transformative technology changes happening within our organizations today. The majority, if not most of these trends, are now being driven by the so-called “big shifts” — and our response to them as people, organizations, and […]

This Year’s Ten Digital Strategies for the Next-Generation Enterprise

This Year’s Ten Digital Strategies for the Next-Generation Enterprise

By Dion Hinchcliffe on May 29, 2012

It’s time for most organizations today to uplevel their technology stance: They must become profoundly proactive about external change and innovation. That’s because technology change is currently happening much faster than most organizations can readily absorb, at least how they’re doing it today. But that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t try. More importantly, they should begin […]
