and dynamic that many organizations do not know how to deal with it. Cultural revolution of companies First of all, this has to do with the technology itself: When you talk about modernizing business solutions, it‘s not just about new or better functionalities, as it used to be. Modern solutions open up completely new possibilities. Big data, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things—to name just a few examples—are real game changers. They have a major impact on established business processes, on interaction with customers and partners and on strategies for business development. But as often happens: The greater and more diverse the possibilities, the more difficult it becomes to make decisions. However, the variety of new technologies is not the only thing that companies have to come to terms with. In fact, it can be argued with some justification that this is not the issue at all. After all, technological progress is part of everyday business life. The real shock comes from another side. The new business solutions relieve us of routine tasks, they support us like real human assistants and thus open up completely new possibilities for creative work. At the same time, they make it possible to be independent of time and place, inevitably creating scope for more personal responsibility. So changes are imminent that go deep into the substance of companies. Hierarchies are being broken up and the familiar is being thrown overboard. Creative and self-determined work can indeed become a major challenge. Many readers will have already experienced for themselves how traditional hierarchies put up great resistance when it comes to allowing people to work independently. In other words, the real shock comes from the fact that the change driven by the technological revolution is having a huge impact on corporate culture. Discover yourself! Thus, when we talk about modern business solutions, we must also talk about people. This may sound trivial because, after all, it is people who have created these solutions and use them. But that‘s not the whole truth: these same people have to deal with the fact that the new technologies are also changing their working environment—and fundamentally so. It‘s no longer just about learning how to use digital tools. It‘s about discovering your own creativity and exploring the new freedoms opened up by digital tools. This also has a major impact on the role that IT service providers will play in the future: Their consultants must help companies to rediscover themselves. And this is only possible with a holistic customer strategy management, in which technology, the further development of business models and cultural change are intertwined. Their task is not just to implement technological or organizational changes. They must rather show ways to make the change itself an integral part of the corporate culture. That sounds like a big challenge—and it is. At the end of the day, it‘s all about inspiring and exciting people in the company. But there is no need to be afraid of this, because people are curious by nature and have a need to be involved in something important and pioneering. Modern business solutions are an offer to people to develop their special talents. Companies that accept this offer and, above all, take it seriously, will be surprised at how much creative energy they unleash.
