Tech Trends 2017: The kinetic enterprise
Introduction
L
EGENDARY basketball coach John Wooden once said, “Failure itself is not fatal, but failure to change
might be.” Any company competing in today’s rapidly mutating business climate should take Coach
Wooden’s wisdom to heart. Seemingly without warning, powerful technology forces give rise to ripe
opportunities while simultaneously rendering existing business models obsolete. Just as quickly, customers
tailor their expectations to include new channels, products, and modes of engagement. Companies that don’t
anticipate and embrace this change may fnd themselves sinking slowly in its wake.
The theme of this year’s
Tech Trends
report is the kinetic enterprise, an idea that describes companies that
are developing the dexterity and vision required not only to overcome operational inertia but to thrive in a
business environment that is, and will remain, in fux.
This is no small task. Though the technology advances we see today embody potential, only a select few may
ultimately deliver real value. Indeed, some are more hype than substance. We need to do a better job of
sifting through the noise to identify truly groundbreaking innovations that can deliver value. Then we need to
act. Passively wondering and waiting are not options. As in Newtonian physics, the task before us is turning
energy’s potential into reality.
This is our eighth
Tech Trends
report. The beauty of following a broad swath of technology advances over
time is that amid the incredible pace of change, we can recognize familiar themes. For example, the fve
macro forces—digital, analytics, cloud, the reimagining of core systems, and the changing role of IT within
the enterprise—have remained constant, year after year driving disruption and transformation. Despite the
omnipresence of these fve forces, enterprise adoption of them continues to vary widely. Some companies
are only beginning to explore trends we wrote about in 2010, while others have advanced rapidly along the
maturity curve. To the former, arriving late to the party doesn’t necessarily diminish the opportunities you are
pursuing. You have the advantage of being able to leverage compounded years of evolution within, say, mobile
or analytics without having to work sequentially through the incremental advances represented in our annual
Trends reports.
Longtime readers occasionally ask about our hit rate: Of the trends we have examined over the years, how
many have actually delivered on the potential we described Looking back, with much humility, we’re proud
that most of our analysis was right on target. For example, in 2014 we recognized cognitive analytics as a
potentially powerful trend, which, with all the advances in machine learning and artifcial intelligence, it
turned out to be. We’ve emphasized security and privacy every year, evolving our coverage from examinations
of individual trends to embedding cyber and now risk implications into every chapter. In 2010, we highlighted
the need to embrace user engagement, and to make human-centered design both a mandate for technology
solutions and a critical discipline for next-generation IT shops to nurture.
Yet there were instances in which we were overly ambitious. For example, in 2010 we predicted that asset
intelligence—sensors and connected devices—was on the cusp of driving signifcant disruption. No question
we were a few years premature, though we still believe that asset intelligence, aided by new Internet of ThingsIntroduction
applications, will soon have a major impact. Similarly, in 2012 we recognized the important role digital
identities could play in a new economy. The concept was generally there, but we had to wait for a protocol to
emerge to set the trend in motion. With the emergence of blockchain, we believe the protocol has arrived and
that digital identities may soon become foundational in an emerging trust economy.
Over the past eight years, the only constant has been change. We hope this latest edition of
Tech Trends
helps
your organization understand the changes under way more clearly. And, with a nod to Coach Wooden, we also
hope it helps you respond to these changes by creating deliberate plans for turning business potential into
kinetic energy.
When the rules of the game are changing, you can’t aford to sit idly on the bench.
