As we transcend towards an increasingly globalized and digitalized economy the challenges that we experience today, and the challenges we will face tomorrow will require us to think unconventionally, much different than the way we currently do. To, therefore, survive in the digital age, individuals, enterprises, and governments must build continuous innovation into their DNA. They must work to create new ways to
I. improve operational efficiency and effectiveness,
II. enhance consumer and citizen experience and
III. purposefully solve society’s grand challenges.
Incremental improvement is the enemy of true innovation, and businesses must be willing to dare to dream in order to transform themselves into a truly digital enterprise. By daring to dream organizations can unlock the Digital Singularity rubric and use the technologies to create a hyper-transformative opportunity to solve the socio-economic challenges faced by businesses, governments and society, and achieve Hyper-Sustainability – the degree of 10X transformation to empower humanity.
The three key tenets of Hyper-Sustainability – Individual Innovation, Enterprise Disruption, and Government Transformation will enable us to foster a 10X mindset within ourselves and drive an innovative culture throughout our organizations to solve challenges and develop solutions which are necessary to thrive in the Digital Singularity era.
Fostering a culture of innovation within individuals, businesses and government agencies – through developing a 10X transformative mindset – is crucial to driving these requirements. Fostering an innovative culture at these levels to develop innovative solutions to challenges, paves the way to enable significant social impact and economic benefit to society, that is, hyper-sustainability.
All stakeholders, at the individual, enterprise and government level, must work to create new ways to achieve hyper-sustainability as part of their strategic objectives. Each must admit responsibility, and lead by example, challenging competitors, customers and citizens to do what is best for a sustainable future. This white paper discusses how Digital Singularity unlocks our potential, the roles of individual innovation, enterprise disruption, government transformation, a blueprint for socio-economic empowerment and much more.
