What does it mean to operate in a more "digital" way?
Here we are using digital in a very broad sense. It's more than just the internet. It's even more than computing or software in general. As those technologies have spread through our world over the last half-century or so, there has been a wider concurrent change in mindset and behaviour – a cultural shift. This takes us to a place where we now see terms like digital workforce, digital workspace, digital mindset, digital DNA. And in recent years an entire services sector has emerged to help organisations go through digital transformation.
But for neocos, this transformation is not something that lies in their future, as yet unattempted. It is well underway. Change is the only constant, as they say. For neocos, digital is both an instinctive and highly tuned way of thinking and acting in the world, and it is an ability that is under continuous development, with no end in sight. Hence we use the term digital evolution.
There are uncountable pathways towards a more digital existence but here we highlight just a few of those that have been pertinent in our explorations of highly innovative and progressive organisations.
