Blog 5: Organization transformation in terms of technology and simplicity


Based on my own analysis and perspective, every organization needs transformation, no matter traditional organizations or new organizations. Technology and simplicity are two main principles that an organization should follow when fulfilling transformation.

Technology includes many aspects, such as big data, robotics, IT application. In this technological era, any organization should keep following the trend of technology. For example, a cellphone company named Huawei has successfully won over Apple in China cellphone market. From 2010 to 2017, Apple had always been the first choice of Chinese in choosing a new cellphone. However, this situation changed since 2017. Why? Because Huawei has absolute advantage over Iphone in certain areas of technology. Huawei has better performance in storing battery energy and its camera is more advanced than Iphone. Furthermore, as for other technologies, Huawei is no worse than Iphone. Therefore, consumers would like to choose Huawei as their first choice since the price is much lower than Iphone.

Rather than complexity, modern companies need to simplify processing procedure and invest more time and energy to research and develop. Traditional companies cost too much on human resources and complex business procedure. If we dig into the fact, it is not hard to find out that they hire too much useless employees. Modern companies must learn to cut wasteful resources. With the help of robotics and AI technology, we can analyze data and get outcome quickly. Therefore, it will be no need to hire employees to do these basic work. Why big investment banks can have such huge business volume and have such few employees? Because every single employee can make huge effort to what he or she experts in. Investment banks target precisely on their employees’ talents. Also, they apply technology to investment banking to maximize the effect of simplification. Therefore, they can function really well.
