The document discusses strategies for creating value with APIs, focusing on their use in powering Africa and the Middle East's digital revolution. It describes how APIs can help companies go mobile across the region by providing a single platform and multiple open APIs to access services like SMS, payments, and customer data across 20 countries and 116 million customers. It also discusses challenges in implementing API strategies in the region, like the need for developer-oriented and commercially-focused approaches as well as cultural changes. Finally, it outlines how Dun & Bradstreet is using APIs and scalable cloud architecture to provide consistent, accurate business data from over 30,000 sources to help customers make informed decisions.

API and Platform economies as business models are in the center of competitiveness. APIs enable scaling and decentralization of products, services and organizations and affect your company structures and cultures in unexpected ways. Ecosystem customer journeys run on APIs and Platforms. Innovation becomes quicker and customer experience better, when you build services using resources from your partner ecosystem. Providing your core capabilities as APIs for others to consume let's your company focus on what you can do best. What are the ways to design and manage these business and IT changes? What does research say? What practical methods are available?

The document provides an overview of the cloud computing business landscape in 2019. Some key points: - ICT is becoming a general purpose technology and cloud computing will be integral to digital transformation over the next decade. - By 2025, 85% of enterprise applications will be cloud-based as core applications, AI, and IoT drive cloud migration. - Companies will be the primary users of cloud technology in the next phase of cloud adoption (Cloud 2.0).

The document summarizes key points from a Gartner report on industrial IoT: 1) The number of IoT use cases is growing rapidly but few have achieved widespread adoption, and the market remains fragmented with many players. 2) Most IoT initiatives are still in pilot stages due to challenges integrating technologies and skills from IT and operational systems. 3) Standards like NB-IoT are expected to emerge as leaders in connecting devices via low-power wide-area networks. 4) Open ecosystems and partnerships will be important to unlocking innovation as no single player has full expertise across the IoT value chain.

The document discusses emerging trends in digital marketing and technology in 2013. It notes that companies taking an agile, adaptive approach to marketing ("Digirati") are 26% more profitable and have higher market values. However, some "Fashionistas" focus too much on new technologies without changing underlying strategies and processes. Large companies like Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon are expanding into new areas through their control of hardware, operating systems, content platforms, and payment systems. The future of marketing involves enhancing customer experience through contextual data and seamlessly integrating customer touchpoints. Agile development practices that rapidly deliver value to users will be important, informed by data and user feedback. Innovation strategies should balance incremental, existing improvements with riskier

This document discusses succeeding in the platform economy. It begins by defining platform business models and comparing them to linear business models. Platforms create value by facilitating exchanges between groups, rather than owning production. The document then discusses how businesses can adopt platform aspects, such as by becoming a platform, creating platforms with others, or leveraging existing platforms. It provides examples of companies that have benefited from platform models and discusses how traditional industries like automotive may be impacted. It concludes by predicting continued growth of platforms and potential regulatory responses.

The document discusses technology-enabled change and transformation in organizations and the role of APIs. It notes that organizations are facing many changes under transformation banners that put pressure on individuals and teams. The research looks at what makes technology changes stick and the trade-offs organizations make to achieve stickiness. It introduces factors that help changes stick, such as generating buy-in that "this time is different" through disruptive symbols of change or quick wins. The document also discusses trade-offs around internal vs. external capabilities and top-down vs. bottom-up adoption of agile practices to drive change.

The document discusses deep work, information overload challenges for knowledge workers, and key trends shaping the future of work including real-time communications and the "liquid enterprise". It notes that real-time communications will be increasingly integrated into workflows and applications, and that a key challenge will be dealing with attention fragmentation due to constant distractions from shallow tasks. The key takeaways are that new approaches are needed to manage information flows and evaluate productivity/collaboration tools in light of attention fragmentation issues in the modern workplace.

The document discusses how digital transformation is disrupting businesses and industries. It notes that 52% of Fortune 500 companies since 2000 are gone or acquired, highlighting the disruptive impacts of digital. The presentation advocates that companies must shift their focus from operational efficiency to strategic differentiation and revenue growth through digital initiatives to avoid being disrupted themselves. It also examines where companies fall on spectrums from cautious to proactive adoption of digital DNA.

Our world is based on trust. Trust between humans , trust between companies, trust for the system. It is only because of this trust that we invest for the future and we build things.
