What is a "riptide?"

It's a powerful, channeled current of water flowing away from shore that can sweep even the strongest swimmer out to sea.

Rapid changes in technology are setting the stage for massive disruption.

What does a Digital Riptide look like?

“Digital Disruption creates one hundred times the innovation power. That means you and your business are facing at least one hundred times the competitive threat.

That’s two orders of magnitude more innovation power than before.

Digital Disruption accelerates competing ideas even as it facilitates the entry of a previously impossible number and

magnitude of ideas.”

McQuivey, James. Digital Disruption: Unleashing the Next Wave of Innovation

Why now? What’s different?

“Computer scientist Martin Grötschel analyzed the speed with which a standard optimization problem could be solved

by computers over the period 1988-2003.

He documented a 43 million-fold improvement, which he broke down into two factors: faster processors and better

algorithms embedded in software. Processor speeds improved by a factor of 1,000, but these gains were

dwarfed by the algorithms, which got 43,000 times better over the same period.”

A growing realization: InformationCapture is THE foundation for Digital

Transformation.

• 57% agree – “We are committed to digital transformation, and paper-free is an essential starting point.”

• 72% agree – “Business at the speed of paper will be unacceptable in a few years’ time.”• AIIM’s Paper-free Progress: Measuring Outcomes

Digitalization is different than Digitization.

• Most organizations are just scratching the surface of what they COULD do with capture. • 34% scan flat images only – 16% for workflow and 18%

for archive. • Only 41% are using OCR in some form.• For most, it’s still a scan to archive game – more about

getting rid of floor space than true “digitalization.”• AIIM’s Paper-free Progress: Measuring Outcomes

For most organizations, back-end processes are still a mess.

• % of finance types answering “A lot of documents are processed as paper documents” • Accounts receivable = 38%• Financial close process = 40%• Accounts payable = 39%• Procurement and purchasing = 32%• Vendor management = 32%

“In less than two years, Slack turned itself into a massively popular business-messaging app worth

$2.8 billion. Now, Slack wants to be more than

just a work-messaging app. It wants to be a broader platform that grows its software into a central hub for

all work communications.”

“Dash simplifies the customer’s experience by abstracting digital complexity and distilling that experience into the push of a button. It also shields shoppers’ eyes from competing brands, effectively locking in loyalty.”

David Aponovich

Amazon says it now has over 100 buttons available, and orders have increased by more than 75 percent in the last three months.

Every Company is a Technology Company

"Domino's has become something closer to a tech company that sells pizza," [Dominos CEO Patrick] Doyle says. "It has amassed a team of about 250 technology employees at its Ann Arbor, MI headquarters vs. about 50 tech employees just a decade ago."

1. What do customers love about my brand that others can’t offer?

2. How can I deliver a unique digital experience that goes beyond the typical (in this case, the traditional website shopping process)?

3. How can I leverage technology to make the customer experience more convenient, compelling or satisfying?

4. How can I differentiate beyond my product by introducing innovative new ways to engage with customers and keep them happy?

“...the manual management of business processes will become antiquated as technology starts

managing at scale. Everything at scale in this world will be managed by algorithms and data.”

Joseph Sirosh, corporate VP of the Data Group at Microsoft







“In 2013, Fujitsu introduced GyuHo SaaS, a cloud-based system for dairy farmers that

helps track the health of their herds through Wi-Fi connected pedometers—

essentially giant Fitbits for cows. The time and movement data can help farmers not only track the general health of cattle, but can also help track when cows are

going into estrus (a condition more commonly known as "heat").”

How content is created and captured NOWwill have a direct bearing on how “machine

processable” it ultimately will be in the future.

Organizations need a strategy to frame how they look at the long-term, but the

flexibility to adopt it to solve immediate business process problems.

Organizations can’t do this all at once without drowning; they need to figure out

ways to do this in steps.

Who provides the adult supervision to manage the chaos?

People. Process. Technology.
