The first two waves have been brought about by Information & Interconnections. In the last two and a half decades, businesses have heavily invested into and gained from Information processes and systems so that they can improve their customer facing & internal processes, reach out better to their customers and improve efficiencies.
Since the last decade, businesses created competitive eco-systems by interconnecting with their customers, suppliers, vendors, partners and other stakeholders to create value chains. This meant that businesses could leverage any innovation that happens across the entire chain to continuously provide value. Global supply chain management, global delivery of services, alliances of complementing partners and outsourcing are examples of such Interconnections.’
In the last few years, businesses are investing in being smart & intelligent in almost everything they do. This means leveraging the wealth of internal and external information they have to their core operations, marketing, credit management, risk management, treasury and customer service. The information revolution over the last 2 and a half decades has made this possible and a business can know precisely and in real time about their customers, suppliers, vendors, partners and other stakeholders as well as their activities.
The intelligence itself manifests in the form of Decision Support Systems, Business Rules Engine, Optimisation & Maximization Algorithms, Pattern Recognition, Predictive Analytics and many more. All of these add non-linear value to the business in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and sustaining competitive advantage.
In summary, businesses have a Hobsons Choice. They can either compete by being smart or face extinction.
