Competition can emerge from anywhere and in various forms. Technologies are great enablers and offer significant opportunities to drive business innovation. However technologies by themselves are mere tools. It is upto businesses to leverage them to create new products and services. It requires business to adopt a wholistic design philosophy.

Businesses need to think both strategically and tactically to succeed in a constantly changing marketplace. Change is easy, but meaningful value-adding changes is often difficult.

A lot of time, effort, and capital is expended, many find themselves still in the same boat. Businesses need to flexible and agile to deliver to succeed in fast changing marketplace.

Creating Value
Creating value is easier said than done, and to be successful, businesses need to create new value on a continuous basis. It often requires businesses to have that culture of value creation. It often requires businesses to be cognizant of the changing customer expectations and be able to cater to it. Technologies are great enablers of value, but technology alone cannot deliver the value. There is a pre-dominant human element to it, to design and develop offerings that have mass appeal. Leading-edge technologies are often exciting as they tend to hold promises. However, these promises often come short. This is not because the technologies are flawed, but more likely a result of inadequate due diligence, flawed design and execution. Without technology alignment and goal-oriented design, one often ends up with tools but not solutions. It is vital for businesses to recognize their strengths and weaknesses, their needs and constraints, their true capabilities vis-à-vis the need, to be able to succeed, which needs to be aligned with what’s good for the society as a whole.

Technology has been a primary enabler of productivity and value creation. However, not all technologies are equal, nor are they necessarily compatible with one another. Ability to derive the optimal value from any technology depends on its fit within the ecosystem and its application to solve business challenges and drive innovation. An inadequate evaluation of the technology and its use case result in considerable drainage of value. Enterprises expend considerable capital procuring the technologies, yet results have often fallen short of management expectations.
