Towards the dusk and a closure to an enriching digital conference, it was clearly seen that digital disruption hasn’t come to be a short span guest, despite the discomfort that a large majority of existing market players is experiencing. Thus, companies will need to strategize around a set of key characteristics and approaches that digital innovators are using for success.

  • Create a transformational strategy that embraces risk-taking.Digital innovators are able to detect and respond to change faster than digital laggards. Risk is better managed if one can confidently respond to change.
  • Adopt an agile, iterative approach to intelligent innovation. Companies today are focused on Development Opportunities. In a changing environment, innovators know they don’t have the time to focus on the perfect strategy and therefore apply iterative techniques.
  • Promote a data-driven culture throughout the organization.  The ability to draw upon the power of the collective is what data analytics is all about. Digital innovators are much more likely to address this and connect all the dots as compared to the rest of the market.
  • Digital disruption is real. The good news is, incumbents are figuring this out and deploying strategies and practices to address their future.
