Over the years, technology has moved up the rung of the ladder to act as a catalyst for transformation in business strategy. The gap between technology and business has been bridged and much expectations is falling on the side of Information Technology, as a significant number of organisations are now thinking beyond the use of the conventional operating models, while trying to re-imagine the role technology plays in their business transformation.

The aim of infusing technology into business is to drive for more innovation, effectiveness in collaboration and the creation of value for long-term sustainability. With the impact of technological disruption on an unprecedented scale, technology has become a veritable tool in making choices on business strategy and value-creation models.

In today’s world, business leaders are faced with a difficult range of decisions. Decision making that would negate the traditional structure of organisations. For instance, with a load of data, an informed decision that enables adaptation and disruption can be taken. The convergence of the digital and physical world have bridged industry boundaries changing the shape of customer engagement and experience.

The availability of cloud technology has reduced entry barriers, a development that has led to the creation of new business models.

Some business owners do not, however, have a good understanding of the role technology can play in their business, let alone trying to harness the synergy between them.

Taking a look at this scenario, a company might see the need of taking initiatives, such as creating a new operational model, digital transformation and developing modern skills in the workforce. All these aforementioned are good strategies to infuse, however, if there is no definitiveness to a bigger picture, trying to deliver technology-driven initiatives would yield less of no result.

Some key factors can, however, determine changes that will come in. For example, a growth in the innovation ecosystem can offer companies with access to sufficient technological options that can help to fast track technological innovation. Both business strategy and disruption hold influential impact for driving an organisation forward. It would be wise enough, if both are infused as one entity, rather than utilising them as separate entities.

Both of them are needed for the required transformation agenda that — Finish Reading on the Punch
