Four Deep Dimensions of Digital Transformation
This surprising statistic comes from the January 2020 report from MIT — The New Leadership Playbook for the Digital Age — Reimagining What It Takes to Lead.
For this reason, our Deep Tech Network has been working with Brazilian organisations to help them understand four key and inter-related factors needed to help resolve this question:
#DeepThinking — we need to understand mindset at the deepest level — a recognition of the need to expand our consciousness, maintain contradictory positions concurrently, and install universal human values.
#DeepTech — our current approaches to exponential growth have not solved our most complex problems. We need to shift from advanced tech to deep tech.
#DeepCollaboration — it is no longer about having the best platform, it is about evolution through integrating both machine and human intelligence in the search for wisdom.
#DeepTalent — our most talented people are not always found in the most obvious or traditional locations and institutions. Solutions to complex problems demand diversity in thinking, backgrounds, framing, cultures and knowledge.
One of the things I would be interested to hear your thoughts on in the comments section is why this is so low. I have participated in many change programmes, but in the majority of them I have rarely witnessed the most senior leaders discuss any need for themselves to change in addition to everyone else. I really think that they could be underestimating the ability of all other people to recognise this stance, as it communicates itself so subtly at times (and at other times no so subtly).
