Digital transformation & leadership
Explain the digital evolution. What are the Phase 0: developing the internet
different phases we went through over the
years? At that moment, the internet was not a way for
people to connect but it was more a strategic
exercise in (cold) warfare
\
Phase 1: world wide web
‘Arpanet’. first web-browser to existence
There was less or no interaction. Only used for
information and you could only read, so not
interact. Eventually big internet brands like
Amazon, Yahoo, Google and Ebay were born.
Collecting information: lay-outs = hyperlinks
\
Phase 2: social web + mobile
Today: ‘eat, sleep, blog, repeat’ at first blogs, lots
of characters, connecting and contributing
content
Mobile: mobile technology is defined as any
device with internet capability that is accessible
from anywhere the user is, smart, portable,
multifunctional, phonecalls. chang from long
character blogs to pictures, living in a
multiscreen environment. Throughout the day
laptop, morning and evenings we are on our
phone.

Phase 3: semantic web + AI/VR/AR
Semenatic web: organizing all information in
categories so that computersystems and human,
machine learning
AI: Artificial intelligence the ability of machines

that learn data, identify patterns, and make
decisions based on that learning.
VR: Virtiual Reality is a way of immersing
yourself in a digital world using a special
headset and hand-held controllers.
AR: Augmented reality enhanced version of the
real world achieved by digital visual elements
Phase 4: Emotional web designing websites,
applications, and digital experiences that take
into account the emotional state of users and
adapt accordingly
There is a technological storm, many new
techonologies are coming up, some companies
are reacting eagerly and other think it costs too
much, so depending on the company you
should research if you should invest in digital
innovation
We’re living the perfect storm. Explain?
During the corona crisis there were many new
smart technological innovations. There is now an
accelerated digitalisation during this crisis. This
means a new area is here now, which also means
that the costs of this digital transformation will
explode.
The golden ratio is also in digital transformation

improvement, inspire optimize reinvent and

where you present all these paradoxes (execute,
innovate, challenges, ideas, innovations)

products that need to work in the
company to manage (laptop, mobile)
4. Optimize: make a scorecard, judge how

strategy people and technology.
1. A digital transformation has many
involved parties, never assume, always
check.
2. Technology needs to unburden the
organization and needs to create
stability but at the same time
technologies also needs to help the
organization to change trough
innovation
3. Digital innovation and operational
unburdening are very important for an
organization, but the implementation
of new digital applications is as
important
4. Ask the right questions and understand

5. There are different levels of success
added value is only created after
exponential repetition of success
6. There is a golden ratio between the
overall project and functional
requirements as there is between the
functional requirements and the non-
functional requirements Non-functional
requirements; how fast, the design,
layout
7. Speed is a given in the digital mindset
8. Agile leadership, agile management is
the new kind of leadership needed to
be successful
