We are in the midst of a transformation of the business environment where technologies are altering the economics of scale, firm scope and firm learning. The imaginative application of capabilities created by information technologies are enabling firms to fundamentally rethink the structures and processes involved in value creation. Increasingly, traditional businesses are adapting to changes in the competitive environment by reviewing assumptions in multiple domains of strategy and operation - in how they define and address customer needs, how they assemble resources and capabilities to compete, how they use data and in general, how they innovate to be viable and create value in rapidly changing environments. We also see firms making significant changes to how they manage human capital, leverage communities outside the firm, build platforms and transform business process in ways that can be integrated into existing structures and organizational practices.
