SEPTEMBER 20239to the future. Then, it also follows that our pace forward on the road to the future is set through human-powered institutional functions and processes in the HE domains (i.e., More Success, Better Talent, Leadership Confidence). What is interesting when we draw the picture this way is how we have the Digital Enterprise contorted to fit the human. This means that regardless of the potential advantage that digital imbues it has to conform to the institutional of the human. And is further limited in speed due to itslong entanglement with the Human Enterprise.In short, by not knowing any better, we pasted Digital on top of our Human Enterprise creating massive entanglement and complexity problems. These are the problems that we face every day in the form of Technical Debt and Customer Dissatisfaction.Now that we know the problems we are facing, how might we solve them? How about:A.Get the human off of the roadB.Create value at parity with the growth of data.C.Minimalize the entanglements between the systems.Next, let's look at an alternative combination of cycles that satisfies the above conditions (Figure 2). Suppose we take the DE and supercharge its capabilities by disentangling it from the HE where their only connection becomes "More Investment" in either talent or technology and further advancing "data science" to become "AI". This new digital cycle is now only linked to the "road to the future" by itself and is free to become the Digital Limitless Enterprise (DLE). Its components are now: AI, more success, more investment, and more data & complexity. Interestingly, because it is now unburdened from connection to the road, the former HE now transforms and becomes the Human Limitless Enterprise (HLE), and is free to act in a new way, as a power factor through talent by adding momentum to the DLE through "more investment". Freeing up humans to apply knowledge in a way that further alters the entire enterprise from not just "Exponential", i.e., capturing value at the rate that data grows, to what leading AI expert Arthur Kordon calls "Super-Exponential". Capturing value at the rate that knowledge grows. See figure 3. Now that we have a potential solution, how do we make all of this happen? It's called changing our Frame-of-Reference. Part of changing our reference is understanding Fig. 3, which is the difference between what we are already doing, and what we need to be doing from an outcome perspective.Making this changeis a lessonwe must all learn and experience to believe and understand. Therefore, paying others to teach us might be less fruitful than we hope. This is why turning down my hearing aids was so important.Nothing matters more than your context in building a new frame of reference. Interestingly, the frame of reference begins again with an acknowledgment of the culprit. Data is growing exponentially, and our enterprise's ability to capture value does not match the rate at which data is being created. Therefore, we are sub-optimized and that gap continues to grow. In his book titled The Exponential Age , investor & author, Azeem Azhar advocates that to not use these readily available technologies and abundantly generated data, disadvantages a company and in time will make it uncompetitive.Perhaps your company's experience in the real-life Exponential Age is also being defined by technology and the exponentially growing data it creates. Now consider arranging your supercharged DLE along with a power factored HLE where human knowledge capture and the human network effect are now enabled by that technology. Your entire industry, all its supply chain and enterprises, functions, and processes can be taught to a machine and combined into one connected knowledge domain and integrated with causal reasoning and decisions. These capabilities in real-time, can be and have been successfully assembled through methodologies to create "Knowledge Based Cognitive AI's". When properly applied this will have the same effect on our companies as taking the pill did for Bradley Cooper's fictional character in the movie. But this time, not at the speed of biology; instead, at the speed of the digital and the power of Kordon's "Super-Exponential". The Limitless "Super-Exponential Enterprise". Data is growing exponentially, and our enterprise's ability to capture value does not match the rate at which data is being created
