DARE Acceleration (Digitization, Autonomation, Robotization and E-Commerce) Yes COVID-19 has let us enter unprecedented times but historic data learns us that during disruptions like this, systemically things will change much deeper and more sustainable than we foresee in the middle of the disruption itself. During crisis like this, companies are much more likely to make capital investments. Specially if the reason for the crisis has shown us the risks of (dependency of) humans, the investments will be targeted on eliminating these risks.

Post Covid-19: how industry will survive and compete in the new scenario of “Shut-In” Economy

What learnings can we gather from the experience of Covid-19 and what will we change in our legacy business models?

Post Covid 19: What companies must do to survive and compete in the new circumstances of the so-called "Shut-in Economy"
2020-4-21
The pandemic crisis has had a devastating effect on worldwide GDP and, from now on, there will be major changes in the way we do business ("shut-in-economy"). Most of these changes were already in progress but the pandemic event has forced the rate of this change to accelerate. A simple “evolution” will not be enough, a step change (a quantum leap, a breakthrough) will be necessary. As such, we cannot waste time trying to understand what has happened and will happen through the lenses of the previous business paradigms. Instead we must imagine ourselves already catapulted into this new competitive scenario and look at it through a new perspective.

Digitalizing the supply chain to enable new value chains
2020-4-2
The new capabilities offered by Digitalization are significantly changing existing Supply Chains. It would be unwise to consider digitalization just as a performance boost of existing activities. In fact, digitalization can be the first step to new Value Propositions, new Value Chains and even New Business Models. But, it is not possible to identify these new opportunities and implement new business configurations while still looking at the business with today’s understanding. To do this would hide the real potential of a new technological business environment. The best way to understand new Value Propositions is by using a helicopter overview of business ecosystem trends jointly with a review of newly available digitalized solutions. A cross-industry perspective is also recommended.

SMART CITIES, DIGITALIZATION AND INDUSTRY 4.0
2019-12-13
New business ecosystems and new business models by Giorgio Merli Today, Smart Cities and Smart Services are a key topic for Companies and Governments. Both are engaged in planning and implementing new realizations, interacting with different purposes and objectives in the same Ecosystem. In this article, the author considers this topic from two perspectives of Business and Government Services for Citizens, who live together sometimes synergistically, sometime conflicting. Examples and cases from both sides are included to highlight how the two parties should manage it in the best way in order to develop the Ecosystem sustainably and satisfactorily. It is also explained why the goal of having an Integrated Sustainable Plan is a priority of a Territory Government, while the understanding of the possible Business Model is the priority of the Business Organizations.

How Digitization Is Potentially Changing The Game And The Rules by Filippo Mantegazza Returning from Barcelona, where I attended the World Congress for IOT Solutions #IOTSWC19, I brought back 3 strong impressions: Connectivity is a fact, even becoming a commodity. We are starting to see many instances of IoT in Manufacturing and Supply Chain and a lot of application of Advanced Analytics, but we still do not see a well progressed 4.0 transformation. This will be the next step. What is key for the next step, apart from the architectural capability, is the ability to develop people with new leadership and new capability, new roles, new knowledge and new skills. This is where we must focus our efforts.
