“It is imperative that organizations identify knowledge gaps in critical areas”


Experience Cell
 It is true that most of the organizations are facing the challenges on Skill gaps around new and emerging technologies. Corporate results are negatively impacted due to lack of knowledge of employees about the latest trends. When things go wrong, it can be all too easy for an employee to plead knowledge gap. It is imperative that organizations identify knowledge gaps, particularly in critical areas.

Another biggest problem companies will have is “Succession Planning”. Organization should have mixed kind of workforces so that experienced can be transferred into reality. Reverse mentoring (older executives paired with younger employees on topics such as social media, new trends etc) is the best way to close the knowledge gap and also will curb the generation conflict between older & younger employees.


Key Priorities
Our IT priorities are to build capabilities for “Digital Adoption” across organization which include enterprise wide migration to applications moderation into next generation applications, adoption of Office Automation Tools like Collaborative Robots, Drone, Machine Learning, Deep Learning and ChatBot etc.
One of the key priority moving towards information centric organization by leveraging the analytics and dashboards to mine the knowledge from more than 18 year’s data lake. We are planning to invest for connected smart battery through IoT sensor, connected smart digital factories, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and control production in real time, enhancing efficiency, manufacturing flexibility and Asset utilization. To get the most benefit, these systems need to be integrated with our back-end ERP systems, that enables company to digitize not just internal processes but across the entire supply chain as well.


Adaptability to Organizational Changes
In-house managed data centres are unable to provide the quick response to business requirements. Moving towards IaaS and SaaS are the best option which in turn links with the cloud. Whereas, I believe - “Cloud is inborn insecure” and never be used to store sensitive data as there is no absolute guarantee as to who has access to this data. On the other hand, to extract knowledge, it is essential to marry between in-house data and cloud data. Public cloud has another limitation that near ZERO customizations. Business has to adopt so called standard best practice business processes.

 

A micro segment is defined as that exact part of the general buying category that triggers the purchasing decision—not the category itself. Going forward, organizations will need to know their micro segments, and their supply chains must be able to effectively service them based on the business strategy. To put it another way, adopt a B2C (business to consumer) mindset even if operation is predominantly B2B (business to business).
