It was a whole new world for me and all in the team ka.
This is my 'Twilight Zone' because of the following ka:
1. It's now clear what digital transformation is. While digitalization is to change hard copies into the digital form, digital transformation needs the change of mindsets to prepare strategic plans with KPIs for major milestones, and continuous monitoring. Like other key issues, leadership with vision and shared goals is essential to get started.
Khun Tarit said there was no need for leaders to buy-in as they've been the main driving forces to push the transformation forward.
2. The startup ecosystem allows startups to have more opportunities to access infrastructure/facilities (office, meeting rooms, equipment, relaxing areas with games, food and beverage, etc.) without any need to make any investment. Even one person who happens to have one good idea to try can just become a member at 7,500 baht/ month to enjoy facilities around.
More importantly, they will be among other startups, entrepreneurs, and supporters (venture capitalists and related services from digital agencies like e-commerce and partnership cooperation), enabling them to mingle (as needed) with other startups, mentors, or coaches to gain rich/ diverse perspectives in the co-working space that goes beyond 'an office to work on their projects' for their ideas to turn into innovation.
3. Main challenges of the TDPK lie in the recruitment of the talented as there aren't enough in the labor market (our universities need to do much better jobs kaa!). It's necessary for them to have the right tech mindsets so Khun Tarit repeated several times about it and how the right hire with the right mindsets is the key to success! The ways to nurture the digital transformation mindsets could be from visits and coaching (would need to be structured to maximize learning too lae ka....I'm so proud that the IPST team did prepare their questions for me to give to Khun Tarit before hand!)
4. I was very impressed to visit Ricoh ka. The name attracted me as I was really curious how a copier company could be that innovative! Love it loei kaaa!
The company isn't confined itself to its earlier competence as they looked into the future of paperless and omnipresent world of work. It turned out that they could integrate copiers in some different forms ka.....to copy more than on paper, covering glasses and other materials. Their commercial product lines include finger scanner plus (to detect blood veins to show the 'real humans' over only 'fingerprints', and also categorize numbers of male/female as well as time to visit, etc. as marketing tools. Their meeting rooms are equipped to facilitate modern access, like making it invisible from the outside, get written feedback that could be integral on the digital board, etc.
Ricoh has given me its new meaning ka!
5. In the age of digital transformation, TDPK has shown the 'door-less' in addition to 'partition-less' office. Its President has just one desk to work along with their team in the same room!
6. The fun (yet shocking) side for me is that I was the oldest in the building kaaaa! On average, those on the TDPK team are from 25-early 30 years old kraaa!
Will there be a 'place' for the elderly to stand in this tech world mai ka?
What about an integral part of social and human sciences?
Could our present approaches be more open to have the good mix of various gens to benefit from diversity?
7. The IPST team had a reflection session after the visit to identify lessons learned and how to bring it back to their office.....lucky for them to have highly capable people with rich content....yet, challenges to meet with the fast digital world stay on!
Out of the 'Twilight Zone' feeling amazed, yet worried about our Thai ways of management ka.
