Some disruption is a normal part of any business operation. We just adjust. We collectively all just lived through a bad one—the Covid19 pandemic. We are now entering yet another new major disruption, and hopefully it will prove to be a good one. While this disruption has already started, its impact has not yet reached its projected level.

The business world is about to enter another cycle of major change. This cycle will definitely change every part of business operations and the way companies interact with customers. The driving forces are not only automation and advance technology but most importantly, the pace at which both are changing.

The question is “does your company have the ability to take advantage of the hyperautomation revolution that has started?”

You have all heard of hyperautomation, hyper digitalization, and hyper technology revolution. By whatever name it is called in your organization, it is here and it is fast becoming a force you will need to reckon with.

Hyperautomation, Disruption, Continuous Business, and Digital Transformation are the Foundations of the Future

We have entered the age of hyperautomation – the release of advanced new technologies is constant and is changing the world as we know it today. These advances are in automated capabilities, in automated tools, and in wonderful new technologies that will affect our lives in untold ways. These untold ways are the opportunities we all have before us – if we are bold enough to innovate.

We are seeing wonders released almost every day and mature into capabilities that are changing how we live and play. Holographic imaging and robot surgeons are just the tip of the technology iceberg. Autonomous cars and trucks are starting to be used and voice interaction will soon support AI interaction as computers think independently to do things for us.

…or Maybe Shutdown Would Describe it Better: A Case Study

There is no consistency to the business shutdown between states, counties, industries or anything I can think of. Each governor handled it differently and most of the time the rules really didn’t make sense. But one thing is clear, the governors are not through yet as each listen to their own physicians and advisors- each of whom have their own ideas. It seems that with each spike, large or small, the lockdown is back on. And we may be heading into another lockdown as winter approaches.

This article is not about politics or the Pandemic itself. It is about the yo-yo response that companies have to live with and if possible, not only stay in business but find a way to thrive – and some are thriving while others die.

Collaboration- More than Meets the Eye

Collaboration- More than Meets the Eye

Author(s):

Managing Principle, Wendan Consulting

Has your company adopted collaboration as part of its culture? If it has, you have a good start – great first step.

But experience on transformation projects had shown me that collaboration is more than agreeing to send a representative to group meetings. It is also more than having managers attending these meetings so decisions can be made. Collaboration is much more than simply talking or attending a meeting and ignoring what you don’t like.

Improving the Business Operation – A Mixed Job

Improving the Business Operation – A Mixed Job

Author(s):

Managing Principle, Wendan Consulting

Business operations and their IT support are built to deliver effective outcomes from a variety of activities. Although, most companies have used focused projects to improve the cost and quality of different parts of the business, many managers believe that operations are not really designed for efficiency. Part of the problem is that over years of efficiency driven piecemeal change in both business and IT areas, the overall processes have often deteriorated and their effectiveness has often become questionable.

Changing – A Core Business Competency

With the operational problems caused by the current economy and the uncertainty that possible new legislation is causing, the need to change quickly and effectively is greater than ever. Few companies are prepared or capable of rapid, efficient change – especially broad based change.
