Too often, disruption is cast in a negative light.
Global enterprises spend billions every year scrambling to find new ways to maintain the status quo, but disruption shouldn’t be feared. If those same enterprises increased the amount of time and energy they spent on creating their own game-changing innovations, they’d probably be more prepared to keep competitors at bay while pioneering in entirely new markets.
Take data science as an example. Data science is no longer an isolated, standalone job. It’s being democratized, and the tools are becoming more accessible and easier to use. Data science experts will continue to exist, but the skill of data science is becoming a standard requirement for more and more roles. That means every team, no matter how big or small, should be basing their decisions on quantifiable insights. They need to break out of what’s comfortable and embrace the new paradigm.
However hawkish it may seem, businesses must be aggressive to succeed. In that spirit, IBM is offering forward-thinking clients, prospects, and IBM Business Partners a sneak peek into upcoming offerings for data, Watson, cloud, Power Systems and Internet of Things (IoT).
