Atos anticipates key trends and technologies that will shape
business and society through to 2024
Paris, July 6, 2020 – Atos, a
global leader in digital transformation, announces the publication
of ‘Journey 2024 – Redefining Enterprise
Purpose’, its latest Thought Leadership report in which it
shares its vision of the evolving world of business, society and
technology. It anticipates the technology and business trends that
are expected to bring some of the greatest disruptions and shape
enterprises over the next four years. This report is built upon
extensive research by Atos’ Scientific Community, a global network
of 160 of the top scientists, engineers and forward thinkers from
across the Group.
‘Redefining enterprise purpose’ after
COVIDEntering the post-COVID era, businesses are facing
the impact of significant changes and uncertainties. The report
challenges businesses to reconsider the relevance of conventional
thinking and to rethink their ‘purpose’ in order to maintain
relevance and thrive.
The report suggests that (in a digital context)
there will be 3 key strands to a strong and sustainable ‘enterprise
purpose’, and businesses will need to build and maintain coherence
in the following areas:
- ‘potential’ (realizing the full
potential of digital technology in its widest
context, going beyond raw technical capabilities of digital
systems, processes and developments),
- ‘collective’ (collective and
connected behaviors that reflect fair value exchanges), and
- ‘consensus’ (the consensus of
engaged ecosystems is a critical success factor for operational
trust going forward. Organizations must identify how they will
achieve and sustain a ‘consensus of trust’ in the context of
continually changing digital possibilities).
The
importance of strength and coherence of purpose is set against the
backdrop of anticipated but unpredictable game-changing
disruptions, triggered by such things as: health pandemics,
economic collapse, environmental crisis or technology ascendency.
Such situations are referred to as “Event Horizons”, and a
reshaping of business or even societal purpose may be required to
successfully negotiate them.
“Going into the post-COVID era, businesses will
face a “new normal”, which will be filled with opportunity and
change. However there is a need to re-evaluate business relevance
and impact, with a more balanced perspective on values and economic
drivers in order to tackle tomorrow’s long-term challenges
concerning sustainability, decarbonization, inequality, security
and the ethical impact of IT.” explains John Hall,
Editor-in-chief for the Atos Scientific Community.
New norm? or continuum of
shifts?As we look ahead to the post-crisis era, it remains
to be seen whether businesses and society will transition to a new
norm or experience a continuum of shifts that demand regular
adjustments in purpose. The shifts could materialize through the
redesigning of supply chains and value ecosystems, renewed
approaches to data privacy regulations, new business partnership
models and disruptive M&A activity. They might also include a
focus on sustainability, decarbonization and circular economy
models, and an accelerated uptake of technologies with a shift
towards remote working and technology-enabled skills
augmentation.
The new norm is likely to include a reassessment
of what is considered to be essential and what might be dismissed
as unnecessary luxury, leading to a re-evaluation of the core
purposes that underpin enterprise, government and societal
activities.
