FEEDBACK FOR THE DIGITAL ENTERPRISE

Thanks for listening!

In this episode, I level set on my definition of a digital enterprise - distinguished by five characteristics that reflect organizations that are truly digital versus "analog" companies. This is important for helping identify what needs to be transformed within the organization. 

There's an HBR article that talks about adaptability as a competitive advantage that I reference during the episode. 

I'll be having a "fireside chat" with  Ian Stendara from Ardoq on Tuesday, April 28th at 9am EST about what enterprise architects can do during the Covid-19 crisis.

In Episode 6, I'll have Josh Feldman of Radian talking about how they make cybersecurity scalable. Tune in!

In Episode 4, we talk with Mark Clark, former CIO of Corning about how CIOs are looking at Covid 19. Mark also shares his perspective on digital transformation and how manufacturers are thinking about it. 

Mark Clark is a results-driven business professional with extensive experience in strategy and business development, digital transformation, IT and risk management, program leadership, process improvement and culture change. In 2020, Mark retired as Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Corning Incorporated after 20 years in a variety of business engagement, shared services, and architecture IT leadership roles. While at Corning he led the transformation of the IT function from a requisite service provider to a value creating business partner for the company. Prior to Corning, Mark spent 14 years with General Electric (GE) in leadership roles that spanned IT, business development, and internal consulting across several divisions/corporate staffs including GE Plastics, Healthcare, Superabrasives, Corporate Audit Staff, and Corporate Business Development. He launched Pivot IT LLC in 2020, a consulting business focused on providing mid-size companies looking to undertake digital as well as IT organization transformation with strategy and CIO coaching advisory services.

Digital enterprises - especially at the beginning of their digtital journey - often do not have sufficient information to inform the decisions about the current operations. The strategy or roadmap may not yet be defined and there may not be policies and standards to follow. This creates a risk of avoidable technical debt that will create more drag on the organization's ability to transform. Principles are a method for addressing this problem by providing guidance for decision-makers in situations where there is ambiguity. Debasish talks about the principles that he's used and thinks are useful for a digital enterprise. 

In this debut episode of "The Digital Enterprise with Debasish Mishra," I'll be introducing myself and the context that will shape future episodes. I believe that traditional enterprise today faces an existential threat from digital disruptors who have a significant advantages in the new arena of competition.
