Digital Government Disruption

There is no question, that governments are doing to be disrupted over the next 10 years.  We've already seen hints of disruption along the way.  Here are some very graphic examples that spring to mind:
  • Tianamen Square in China.
  • Election of Donald Trump as US President.
  • Fallout from Brexit as the UK leaves the European Union.
Tianamen square was a great example of what happens when governments try to control, manipulate and censor the rights of their people.  Hilary Clinton was confident she had the number for the election.  It was probably the biggest upset I can remember.  And Brexit is a clear example of what happens when you treat your customers poorly.  In this case the UK is the customer and Brexit is the supplier.

All these are examples are of 'resistance to change' and are the core underpinnings of digital disruption.  By digital disruption, I mean the ability for an entity to transform itself, just so it simply survive.  Entities include:
  • Banks
  • Hospitals
  • Taxi Drivers
  • Video Stores (remember Blockbuster Video....)
  • TV & Radio Stations
  • Newspapers
  • Councils
  • Governments
Those entities that do no successfully transform and harness the new world of digital technologies, will die.  And yes...governments may not think they will die or become irrelevant.....but it's only a matter of time.....if they "resist change" and do not transform faster.

Transforming is really akin to learning.  Those organisations that can learn faster than everyone else will win...and those that are slow at learning will be last.  This learning, or failing fast as I call it, is a cornerstone of 4 courses that I run for ALC Training:
