Realities of ‘Cyberistic' Future

Trends like BYOD, mobility and increased usage of cloud apps are resulting into unwiring the enterprise.

Here’s what my colleague Ken told me recently when I asked him if he would prefer to bring his own computer to work. He said, “When travelling, I use YouTube to watch news, post updates on Facebook for my friends and family, check out the latest scores on Sports sites. So I don’t want any restrictions when I am on the road. And I want a fire wall between my personal life and corporate data/apps”. He insisted on clarifying the value or incentive for employees to bring their own devices to work. These kinds of demands are already posing many challenges (and headache) for IT and InfoSec teams. On one hand, it seems like a great proposition to have employees to use their own personal devices to conduct business and reduce procurement or maintenance costs; it also poses unprecedented risks to the enterprise data that is on the move.

There is a need to create a robust approach so that information residing on personal devices is guarded against malicious intent or loss. No doubt that there will be increased employee dissatisfaction if there are more controls that restrain them but at the same time the Board, Shareholders and the Customers will have serious concerns for the business risks due to the absence of the same.

Turian Labs: Perfecting Design Thinking to Strategic Foresights

‘Empathy is the new strategy’- the mnemonic has been doing the rounds. Empathy is the hallmark of a new method that walked into the strategy domain in the last decade, popularised by the term ‘Design Thinking.’ Design Thinking came in to fill the void created by over-dependence upon data and systems in the industrialized society. Bringing a shift in perspective for defining the ‘real’ problem by zooming in on ‘people’ or ‘stakeholders’ instead of the data alone. One pioneering business organization that was established with this mindset engraved into its soul is Turian Labs. The name, Turian, is derived from the Sanskrit ‘Turiya’, which is the ‘fourth state of consciousness’ as mentioned in Indian philosophy. Turian Labs believes that the world needs holistic thinking today more than ever as knowledge fields are rather too dithered and hence businesses tend to be myopic on several counts.
