For today’s modern businesses, customers reign supreme, so many organizations face the challenge of transforming into a digital business to meet growing customer demand. The power is shifting from institutions to customers, so it’s up to businesses to master both digital customer experiences and digital operational excellence. To do this, they need to increase operational agility and speed-to-market using digital technologies.
Leveraging Technology-driven Innovation
That said, firms need to take advantage of technology-driven innovation, an advanced discipline of rapid technology experimentation to unleash disruptive change. The firms that leverage this tend to grow three to four times the industry average. Emerging technology practices evolve as the firm advances in their maturity:
- Beginner: Firms in this stage focus operations on things customers value and lay the technology foundation for digital business.
- Intermediate: Firms in this stage are scaling their new operating models and building digital platforms that generate revenue and insight.
- Advanced: Firms in this stage are digital leaders that execute for the future and harness emerging technology to differentiate with digital.
The firms that leverage this tend to grow three to four times the industry average.

Leveraging emerging technologies support operational excellence at all maturity levels. They compose your innovation portfolios that drive disruptive innovations.

Emerging Technology Innovation in Shipping & Logistics
The traditional technology approach to logistics has been to host everything in a data warehouse and use extract, transform, and load (ETL) tools to rationalize data followed by a series of business intelligence tools to analyze it. However, innovation has taken place across the customer and partner ecosystem when it comes to tracking, analyzing, and responding with data.
By implementing a real-time open digital platform, shipping and logistics companies now have access to data in motion for intelligent automation, shipping optimization, rule-based alerting, and connected community. Results include the fast collection of traffic events from ships/ports/authorities, a better way to describe and manage shipping and port assets, and transition from existing IT systems to ones that leverage IoT, AI, ML, cloud, and blockchain.
