Gerald Kane - An Exceptional Producer of GK 


      • The fabulous treasure of the digital age offers us an extraordinary number of golden knowledge producers.
      • GERALD C. KANE, PH.D., is an exceptional producer of golden knowledge in Digital Transformation in containers of different types: for example, books, reports, articles, videos, podcasts.

        • More and more executives are coming to view disruption and transformation as continuous processes. In a 2021 Deloitte survey of 2,260 private- and public-sector CXOs in 21 countries, 60% of the respondents said that they believe disruptions like those seen in 2020 will continue. The resulting challenge is underscored by another of the survey’s findings: Seventy percent of the CXOs do not have complete confidence in their organization’s ability to pivot and adapt to disruptive events.
        • The research we conducted during the pandemic suggests that the companies that are most successful at meeting the challenge of continuous transformation are those that innovate through disruption.  
          • They achieve this by developing four key organization capabilities that overlap and operate in concert. We think of them as digital innovation superpowers.
          • Each of these superpowers is supported by digital technologies — cloud computing, data analytics, machine learning, cybersecurity, and others — but they extend beyond the adoption of technology per se. More important is how companies wield the technologies to transform themselves in response to disruption.

      NEW BOOK - THE TRANSFORMATION MYTH: LEADING YOUR ORGANIZATION THROUGH UNCERTAIN TIMES 
              By Gerald C. Kane, Rich Nanda,  Anh Nguyen Phillips, and Jonathan R. Copulsky 



              • When COVID-19 hit, businesses had to respond almost instantaneously--shifting employees to remote work, repairing broken supply chains, keeping pace with dramatically fluctuating customer demand. They were forced to adapt to a confluence of multiple disruptions inextricably linked to a longer term, ongoing digital disruption. 
              • This book shows that companies that use disruption as an opportunity for innovation emerge from it stronger. Companies that merely attempt to "weather the storm" until things go back to normal (or the next normal), on the other hand, miss an opportunity to thrive.  
              • The authors, all experts on business and technology strategy, show that transformation is not a one-and-done event, but a continuous process of adapting to a volatile and uncertain environment. Drawing on five years of research into digital disruption--including a series of interviews with business leaders conducted during the COVID-19 crisis--they offer a framework for understanding disruption and tools for navigating it. They outline the leadership traits, business principles, technological infrastructure, and organizational building blocks essential for adapting to disruption, with examples from real-world organizations. Technology, they remind readers, is not an end in itself, but enables the capabilities essential for surviving an uncertain future: nimbleness, scalability, stability, and optionality.

                1. Nimbleness: The ability to quickly pivot and move. (“We used to do this, and now we do that.”)
                2. Scalability: The ability to rapidly shift capacity and service levels. (“We used to serve x customers; we now serve 100x customers.”)
                3. Stability: The ability to maintain operational excellence under pressure. (“We will persist despite the challenges.”)
                4. Optionality: The ability to acquire new capabilities through external collaboration. (“Our ecosystem of partners allows us to do things we couldn’t do previously do.”)
