| Is industry becoming irrelevant to digital success? |
| Tuesday, October 27, 2020 |
| Supplied by entelect2013 Administrator from entelect2013 |
 The majority of present-day digital and innovation projects typically involve digitising products and services to combine or reach across traditional sectors. Enterprises are changing (shortening) traditional customer journeys or creating new digital-only products which have no obvious spot on the value chain. There is a theme here: industry irrelevance.

| Supplied by Administrator from entelect2013 |
 If you ever had to take science classes in university or high school, you’d be familiar with the concept of educated guesses. Before an experiment, you were likely asked to come up with an assumption that could be tested – a scientific hypothesis. The basic idea of a hypothesis is that there is no pre-determined outcome – and is usually shrouded in uncertainty. ...More... |
