Advice and Suggestion from Jeff Immelt -
Leaders must act as Systems Thinkers in Digital Transformation.


Leaders have to understand how cyber - physical systems in combination deliver value to customers.

Marketing chain and Supply Chain are to be integrated and cyber - physical systems exist in both the chains. Digital and Physical systems and people have to work in combination and deliver value to customers. Leaders and managers have to first visualize and design the work system.

Davos 2017 - Press Conference: The Digital Transformation of Industries

The World Economic Forum launched the multi-year Digital Transformation of Industries Project in 2015 in partnership with Accenture. The project looks at how digital technologies like machine learning, cloud computing, and the internet of things are changing existing industries and creating entirely new ones. It makes recommendations to incumbents on how they can thrive in the new digital environment.

There are now hundreds of startups attacking traditional markets as a result of the democratization of technology, increased access to funds and a rising entrepreneurial culture. Start-ups are achieving scale far quicker than analogue companies ever did. Average Fortune 500 companies took 20 years to reach a market cap of $1 billion, Google managed it in eight years, and the likes of Uber, Snapchat and Xiaomi in three years or less. 88% of Fortune 500 companies from 1955 – 2015 no longer exist. Digital disruption has been a major driver of this, consequently Fortune 500 companies must use their considerable resources to fight off the attacks of leaner challengers and remain relevant in a digital age.
