Three Technologies and Three Keys to Digital Transformation in 2018

From the analysis of key studies of the MIT Technology Review, GATNER, Economic Forum World-WEF, Incipy, Inesdi among others, I present a synthesis of the three disruptive technologies and the three keys that leaders and managers must take into account in 2018 for the digital transformation of their companies.

Three disruptive technologies in 2018 for digital transformation.   1. Blockchain-based cryptotechnologies. After the personal computer, mobile and Internet, the fourth disruptive tool, which will empower us as a society and eliminate intermediaries and inflexible hierarchies will be the blockchain or blockchain (replacement of certain sensitive data by symbols identifying and retaining information without compromising their security) A protocol that empowers anyone to build confidence by smart codes. For the first time in history we will be able to execute reliable transactions between two or more parties, authenticated by the collaboration of many and made possible by collective interests, not by large companies that pursue their own benefit (as defined by Don Tapscott in his book the Blockchain Revolution). cryptotechnologies will be much more important in 2018 and will begin to demonstrate their usefulness; Blockchain technology and in general, the activity in applications based on decentralised block chains The project will increase significantly over the course of this year. Experts will develop solutions based on the attributes of the Blockchain technology combined with Artificial Intelligence. The professionals will address the current problems of the cryptotechnologies  like transparency and speed and artificial intelligence developers will facilitate blockchain distribution and use as well as smart contracts for individual artificial intelligences to measure in their machine-to-machine interactions. It is expected that by 2020 the banking industry, for example, will obtain $1B of commercial value from the use of cryptocurrency based on blockchain.     2. Artificial Intelligence as a transformation of business… And to begin with: machine learning and bots. Throughout 2018, it will be increasingly demonstrated how artificial intelligence or AI will increase human capabilities. We will see more evidence of the tangible benefits that artificial intelligence tools can provide to us individually, and the power of the human species will be increasing as long as the ethics and the human values be the guide for business and political leaders. Throughout 2018, it will increasingly demonstrate how artificial intelligence or AI will increase human capabilities.CLICK TO TUITATE Artificial intelligence will be the priority of inversion in technology for large companies during 2018; but successful companies, both existing and new, will combine investment in artificial intelligence to reduce their costs, with a strategic and organizational change aimed at rethinking your business model by starting with a tool to expand your products offered.   The machine learning or machine learning will also be a key technology of 2018, and will impact us on the way we live and work. According to Gartner, machine learning technologies will be present in “almost all new software products” by 2020. In 2018 investment in bots (artificial intelligence software performing tasks on its own without the help of human beings) and chatbots (robot capable of simulating a conversation with a person) will be exponential, by 2021, more than 50% of companies will spend more per year on bots and chatbots than the development of traditional mobile applications. Individual applications are out. Bots are inside. In the era of “post-application”, chatbots become the face of AI  and bots will transform the way applications are created. Traditional applications, which are downloaded from a store to a mobile device, will become one of many options for customers. un key discussion element is how the AI  will affect employment from focusing exclusively on the elimination of jobs to what is the best way to help workers adapt to this inevitable change 3.  Tecnologies for Cybersecurity. According to MIT experts, the main objective of cyberattacks in 2018 will be cloud computing companies Some of the leading cloud operators like Amazon have already started hiring the best minds in the world, and they have already started to use the Internet to help them find a new platform for their business. cybersecurity even though smaller companies that do not have cybersecurity experts and have an effective system to protect themselves from hackers could risk serious data loss problems. One of the biggest risks in 2018, according to MIT, will be new cyberattacks that will surprise in terms of scale or quality. hackers use the possibilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning I mean, either using chatbots or with generation in natural language; smarter attacks on passwords, taking connected devices as hostages, or adaptive systems that avoid detection. 1. Experience Incorporate lo digital to all key customer contact moments and the company should help increase the experience of clients  as Employees. Creating WOW Experiences will be one of the main objectives of the marketing, customer service, retail and HR of the organizations and the first key to success of the organizations in 2018.  2. Manage with Data The Big Data management is key and the way to enhance its value is through business intelligence. Gestion with data means:

• Smarter decisions – Harness new data sources to improve the quality of decision-making.
• Faster decisions – Allow more real-time data capture and analysis to support decision-making at the “impact point”
• Decisions to make the difference – Focus big data initiatives on areas that provide true differentiation

That our organization can manage with data as well as know how to identify and attract good digital analysts, especially in customer intelligence, CRM and business intelligence, able to visualize the data for different levels of the organization, will be the 2nd key success in 2108. 3. The People. According to the experts of MIT as well as our own expertise in incipy, the main brake for digital transformation is people and culture They will certainly have to change to face the fourth industrial revolution. Thanks to the technology almost all sectors are transforming their business models and among other impacts it is remarkable that most of the products and services that were previously expensive are now much cheaper and, in some cases, even free. free of charge usually appears in those products that can be digitised In his book Abundance, Peter Diamandis, one of the founders of the Singularity University, he puts a number of examples of demonetization, emphasizing the smartphone. WEF, the energy costs will also plummet shortly thanks to the greater efficiency of photovoltaic plates. transport staff will be able to share thanks to the blockchain and that of goods shall be autonomous. artificial intelligence will assume many automatic tasks that make services more expensive, both medical and financial o legislative. Manufacturing will be democratized thanks to the 3D printers and we’ll end up becoming prosumitors (producers + consumers). A to face an environment with disruptive and exponential technologies requires that we exercise a new leadership Let’s train and train our teams, attract new talent Let’s innovate in the organization and the job… to get a open, innovative, connected, flexible, collaborative and agile culture The new business opportunities that new technologies can bring can be seen permanently. employee centricity will be the 3rd key to success in organisations in 2018.     Original article by Joana Sánchez initially published in women counselors
