About DSSi

   In the past decade, innovations in information and communication technologies (ICT) have fundamentally changed the way individuals, businesses, and governments conduct their daily activities. As a result, the world itself is also changing: the integration of capital, technology, and information across national boundaries into portable digital ‘knowledgeware’ has created a new global environment where markets and risks are inextricably linked, capabilities of posing significant threats to organizations are devolving down to the individual level, and decisions made in one domain profoundly impact others—politics, law, economics, technology, sociology, ecology, etc.—at an ever-increasing pace.

    To survive and thrive in this complex and rapidly evolving world, organizations must make an effective transition into the digital age and develop the capability to deploy ICT technologies effectively rather than be overwhelmed. They must be able to adapt their operational processes quickly and appropriately, respond effectively to emerging risks and threats, and continue to create value in an increasingly diverse and competitive global environment. Having an appropriate tempo for such decisions and innovations—a metatempo—is thus critical to organizational survival and competitiveness in the age of globalization.
