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 Unfortunately, although Nokia’s phone architecture was cumbersome and outdated, the company persisted with it.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.

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.
