The Digital Age is upon us and it is not just about technology. In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. In 2008 Blockbuster Video revenue was 8 billion USD, in 2010 it went bankrupt.
Nokia was the undisputed king of the cell phone market with one billion customers in 2007 and 51% of the global market share. Unfortunately, although Nokia’s phone architecture was cumbersome and outdated, the company persisted with it.
This short-sightedness allowed Nokia’s competitors to develop iOS and Android operating systems and capture a huge portion of Nokia’s market. By the time Nokia phones offered Android, the company had been left behind.
What happened to Kodak, Blockbuster Video and Nokia will happen in a lot of industries in the next 10 years and, most people won’t see it coming.
Disruptive technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality, Robotic Process Automation, Blockchain, Natural Language Generation, Machine and Deep Learning, 3D printing coupled with changing customer behaviour and external environmental factors, have dramatically altered our business landscape.
History teaches us that no one is safe in the free market. New, flexible business models, continuous innovation, and digital transformation are needed to be implemented rapidly, not just to leverage the opportunities brought by new technological advancements, but simply to survive and stay relevant.
Yet, so many companies fail to get it right.
It is not just about the digitization of assets, procuring a CRM, building a new website, or automating an old process; it is a major change in how an organization conducts its business and delivers value to its customers.

Staying competitive in today’s rapidly evolving economy demands constant reinvention of products, services, and business models. Traditional approaches to application development, while effective in the past, often stifle innovation when applied to digital product design and development. To thrive
A client recently mentioned that they would soon have to re-brand their newly launched mortgage application. At first glance, it sounded like a fairly routine request. Re-branding projects are common: update the logo, change the colours, refresh some text and marketing content, and redeploy the appl
As a Business Analyst and transformation professional, I spend a great deal of time discussing role clarity, governance models, accountability structures, risk management, and KPIs. And it has often puzzled me why we don’t apply the same organisational design thinking to national leadership roles.
It’s not onboarding, apps, or AI—it’s what happens when a customer wants to leave. Banks and financial institutions invest heavily in the beginning of the customer journey: slick onboarding apps, fast account opening, welcome emails, and polished marketing. But when it comes to the end of the
In 1987, American Airlines famously discovered that removing one olive from each first-class salad would save the company $40,000 a year. The lesson became legendary, not because of the olive, but because it exposed a universal truth: Small inefficiencies, multiplied at scale, quietly drain enormou
All I wanted to do this morning was to update my IBAN for my AA membership debit order. Sounds easy enough, right? Wrong. What should’ve taken five minutes turned into a two-hour exercise in frustration, circular clicks, and chatbot déjà vu. And it left me wondering: How did we get here? When di
If you’ve ever stared at a mountain of backlog items thinking, “Which of these should we actually do first?”, welcome to the club. Backlog prioritisation is both an art and a science. It’s judgment wrapped in frameworks, guided by data, coloured by politics, and shaped by customer need. And
Let me start with a question: If you had to hire a Product Owner tomorrow, would you look for someone from the business… or someone from tech? Most people have an immediate gut reaction.And almost everyone believes their answer is the “right” one. After 30+ years working across ten industries,
As organisations grow, their once-simple processes often turn into tangled webs of manual tasks, handoffs, and inefficiencies. What used to be smooth and predictable flow becomes slow, costly, and frustrating — for both teams and customers. That’s where AI and the Business Analyst make a powerfu
