In this winner take all world, are you a leader or a follower, and will following be good enough?

The world now understands what digital technology can do for businesses, and the pandemic showed how quickly this was applied. Some companies are now adopting lessons and operating models, learned through the pandemic experience.

Leading companies are leveraging digital technology to secure their current position and move themselves into better positions in the market. Unfortunately, there are still many companies sitting on the fence as they do not really grasp the opportunity.

Let’s take a step back.

Video conferencing has become a permanent tool for companies as they were forced to use it during lockdown periods, and it was surprisingly successful for them. Now everyone understands the value video conferencing and with it, the value of remote working. Whilst not everyone can work from home long term, there is a good portion of the workforce that can. Apart from the personal saving of money from working at home, businesses have realised that expensive office space and expensive business trips can be reduced.

But Video conferencing is only the beginning, it does not mean you are a digitally transformed company. There is a lot of digital technologies that can improve your business, it is knowing what is right for you.

Many “followers” are waiting for everything to get to the “New Normal”. The language of a 'new normal' is being deployed almost as a way to quell any uncertainty ushered in by the coronavirus. With no cure in sight, everyone from politicians and the media to friends and family has perpetuated this rhetoric as they imagine settling into life under this 'new normal' – World Economic Forum.

If you are sitting waiting for the “New Normal”, you need to be careful that 1), it exists and 2), you can recognise it and 3), it does not pass you by while you are waiting.

Are your competitors preparing for the future?

“Even before the global health crisis hit, 92 percent of company leaders surveyed by McKinsey thought that their business model would not remain viable at the rates of digitization at that time.”- McKinsey.

Present and Future.

What is becoming very clear is that the world and business will continue to change, but it will change more rapidly.  This will happen through either global events, or the winner takes all business mindset, or through the continued evolution of technology, or customer demand.

Consider the following: - The constraints of legacy IT and the lack of collaboration across organizational silos combine to make it increasingly difficult for organizations to be nimble and responsive to changes in their environment – KPMG.
