Digital disruption has broken out of Silicon Valley. Any company, no matter how nuts-and-bolts, can be disrupted by a digital competitor; equally, any company could be that digital disruptor. The discussion was kick-started by two leading industry thinkers: Andrew Moore, chief transformation officer of chipmaking giant Intel, and Nigel Moulton, chief technology officer at Dell EMC, part of a corporation that services 99% of the Fortune 500 companies. Their remarks sparked lively discussion. Both Intel's Mr Moore and Dell EMC's Mr Moulton spend a lot of time talking to leading companies about their digital transformation journey, and they kicked off with a tough message: it's hard work.

Books dedicated to Digital Transformation are on the rise in 2020. For that reason, we present a selection of the best Digital Transformation books recently written by talented authors. Every business that began before the Internet now faces the same challenge: How to transform to compete in a digital economy? Globally recognized digital expert David L. Rogers argues that digital transformation is not about updating your technology but about upgrading your strategic thinking. Based on Rogers's decade of research and teaching at Columbia Business School, and his consulting for businesses around the world, The Digital Transformation Playbook shows how pre-digital-era companies can reinvigorate their game plans and capture the new opportunities of the digital world. Rogers shows why traditional businesses need to rethink their underlying assumptions in five domains of strategy―customers, competition, data, innovation, and value. He reveals how to harness customer networks, platforms, big data, rapid experimentation, and disruptive business models―and how to integrate these into your existing business and organization. Rogers illustrates every strategy in this playbook with real-world case studies, from Google to GE, from Airbnb to the New York Times.

Hiroshige Seko, the minister of Economy Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan introduced a new concept for their roadmap to realize'Society 5.0' the future urbanism as the next big thing in industries. He mentioned that we require another industrial revolution using advanced technological innovations including, AI, IoT, and Big Data; this would be'Connected Industries.' This was the inception of'Connected Industries' as introduced by Hiroshige with the impact on future lives. Artificial Intelligence or AI will be on a next-level role in this development, with a more significant impact on each ecosystem entity. Before moving ahead to understand the role of AI in the'Connected Industries', let's first understand AI and its applications.

Every organization has had to react to COVID-19 impacts. Before the pandemic hit, organizations were executing digital transformation strategies that were created in response to digital disruption. Then, in 2020, the pandemic hit making digital disruption seem comparatively tame. For one thing, digital disruption takes a couple or a few years whereas pandemic emergency response needed to be executed within days or weeks. Now digital transformation has evolved into yet another stage. This third stage combines the thought processes of the previous two phases.

We are witnessing a new wave of technological progress with enormous potential to profoundly transform our societies. Together with globalization, climate change, demographic transformations, and the risk of pandemics such as covid-19, digital disruption is generating far-reaching changes in the global economy. Economic growth is almost exclusively a feature of industrial revolutions and is relatively recent in human history. The social adaptation to the structural changes that technology has brought about has generally been slow, making it a reasonably smooth process. In the case of the digital revolution, however, there are already some signs of a much more abrupt disruption in businesses, markets and societies, reducing the time of response to deal with the new challenges.

The current wave of emerging digital technologies offers great opportunities to transform pharma operating models and improve the declining ROI on R&D productivity. Harnessing the power of digital technologies – such as robotic process automation, artificial intelligence, machine learning and organ-on-a-chip – can transform how clinical trials are conceived, designed and conducted. For instance, they can be used to automate processes, make efficient use of Big Data and support early decision-making with predictive analytics. The beginning of this digital transformation is well underway and is likely to accelerate. Therefore, harnessing these technologies will require a deep understanding of how they work, the role they will play in advancing clinical development and the limitations they present.
