At its core, Web 3.0 is attempting to empower organizations and individuals by getting rid of centralization and intermediaries.

Cultural challenges impede organizations from becoming responsive, agile, or autonomic. Decentralized autonomous organizations (DOAs) can help address such issues.

The Covid-19 pandemic pushes many enterprises to re-consider their digital transformation and modernization initiatives, especially for automation.

Blockchain is essential for digital transformation. There is no other technology on the horizon that is decentralized, fault-tolerant, secure, and reliable for inter-Enterprise Master Data Management.

Covid-19 is providing enormous challenges but also new opportunities to rethink collaborations involving different service providers to achieve end-to-end services involving different participants.

The lockdown, interruption of supply chains, and the emergence of virtual work shifts are accentuating the need for innovation, entrepreneurship, and autonomy.

The methodologies are complementary, have commonalities, require different skills, and should be part of the overall meta-iterations within a concerted digital transformation effort.

AI is an integral part of Digital Process Automation, and the potential of AI optimizations for on-chain (Blockchain transactions) and off-chain data (IoT, customer, etc.) are tremendous.

The Enterprise-In-Motion needs to encourage and promote design thinking initiatives.

Process + Data are both critical for innovation and transformation. The potential and the power of Data insights are realized in the digitized and automated processes.

Enterprise reference architectures and stacks are becoming increasingly cluttered and complex. What’s needed is a pragmatic approach that focuses on process and data.

Smart corporate reflexes combine blockchain, edge IoT and Value-Stream-as-a-Service.
