Disruptors represent opportunities for technology executives to create
sustainable positive changes in IT capabilities, business operations and
business models. The current report features: CIO as Venture Capitalist,
Cognitive Analytics, Industrialized Crowdsourcing, Digital Engagement and
Wearables.
Enablers are technologies in which many organizations have already
invested, but new developments and opportunities have inspired new business
applications, thereby warranting a fresh look. The current report features:
Technical Debt Reversal, Social Activation, Cloud Orchestration, In-memory
Revolution and Real-time DevOps.
Example of trends that Inspire Disruption
includes:
-- CIO as venture capitalist - CIOs who want to help drive business growth
and innovation will likely need to develop a new mindset and new capabilities.
Like venture capitalists, CIOs should actively manage their IT portfolio in a
way that drives enterprise value and evaluate portfolio performance in terms
that business leaders understand—value, risk and time horizon to reward. CIOs
who can combine this with agility and align the desired talent can reshape how
they run the business of IT.
-- Wearables - Wearable computing has many forms, such as glasses, watches,
smart badges and bracelets. The potential is tremendous: hands-free, heads-up
technology to reshape how work gets done, how decisions are made and how you
engage with employees, customers and partners. Wearables introduce technology
to previously prohibitive scenarios where safety, logistics, or even etiquette
constrained the usage of laptops and smartphones. While consumer wearables are
in the spotlight today, we expect business to drive acceptance and
transformative use cases.
-- Cloud orchestration - Cloud adoption across the enterprise is a
growing reality, but much of the usage is in addition to on-premises
systems—not in replacement. As cloud services continue to expand, organizations
are increasingly connecting cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-core systems—in
strings, clusters, storms and more—cobbling together discrete services for an
end-to-end business process. Tactical adoption of cloud is giving way to the
need for a coordinated, orchestrated strategy—and for a new class of cloud
offerings built around business outcomes.
-- Social activation - Over the years, the focus of social
business has shifted from measuring volume to monitoring sentiment and, now,
toward changing perceptions. In today’s recommendation economy, organizations
should focus on measuring the perception of their brand and then on changing
how people feel, share and evangelize. Organizations can activate their
audiences to drive their message outward—handing them an idea and getting them
to advocate it in their own words to their own network.
