Preface

Welcome to Deloitte’s annual report examining trends in technology put to business use. Once again, we’ve selected ten topics that have the potential to impact businesses over the next 18 to 24 months.

Developing the list of trends is an ongoing process of primary and secondary research. The process includes:• Feedbackfromclientexecutivesoncurrentandfuturepriorities• InputfromDeloitteindustryandpracticeleaders• Perspectivesfromindustryandacademicluminaries• Researchfromalliancepartners,industryanalysts,andcompetitorpositioning• Crowd-sourcedideasandexamplesfromourglobalnetworkofpractitioners

This year’s theme, Elements of postdigital, examines the convergence and controlled collision of five forces – Analytics, Mobile,Social,Cloud,andCyber–asbusinessesmoveclosertoachievingthepossibilitiesofthePostdigitalEnterpriseTM,whereallfiveforcesaremature,implemented,integrated,andbaked-ininsteadofbolted-on.Thesefiveforcesofferanewsetoftoolsforbusiness,openingthedoortoanewsetofrulesforoperations,performance,andcompetition.ITcandeliver engagement and empowerment to business customers, both innovating and industrializing.

Social Reengineering by DesignHow work gets done is no longer constrained by 19th century platforms Businesses are no longer building technologies just to enable interaction – they are now engineering social platforms for specific context – platforms that can relieve rather than serve traditionalorganizationalconstraintssuchasdeephierarchies,command-and-controlcultures,physical proximity and resource concentration.

Finding the Face of Your Data Fuse people and technology to discover new answers in data – and new questions, too Humansdosomethingsreallywell,whilecomputersarebetteratotherthings.Itisthisparticular combination that enables the identification of new patterns and relationships across dimensions of data – structured and unstructured, internal or external, big or otherwise.Bycombininghumaninsightandintuitionwithmachinenumber-crunchingandvisualization,companiescananswerquestionsthey’veneveransweredbefore.ForConsumerProductsorganizations,Deloitte’scollaborationwiththeGroceryManufacturer’sAssociation is raising awareness of the business value of data visualization.

Gamification Goes to Work Driving engagement by embedding gaming in day-to-day business processes Gamification can encourage engagement and change employee, customer and supplier behavior, creating new ways to meet business objectives. The goal is to recognize and encouragebehaviorsthatdriveperformance–sometimesinunlikelyplaces.Thistrendhas moved beyond hype and is already demonstrating business value. More specifically, Deloitte’s collaboration with the Grocery Manufacturer’s Association is exposing the significantpotentialforconsumer-targetedapplications(suchasin-storegamification).

Design as a Discipline4Design should be much more than a project phaseDesignisalreadypartoftheITvocabulary.Functional design. Technical design. Detail design. Testing design. Userinterface(UI)design.Technicalarchitecturedesign.And,morerecently,userexperience(UX)design–ahotarea of focus as consumer technology experiences are resettingexpectationsforcorporateIT.Throughoutits history, however, design has generally remained a discrete set of deliverables or project phases, completed by specialized teams at distinct points during a project’s lifecycle.Individualfacetsofdesignhavereflectedlittle understanding of other related project activities, much less the broader context of the business vision and expected outcomes.

Meanwhile, usability, intuitiveness, and simplicity have moved from aspiration to mandate, with the business having access to new ways to get what it wants: directly procuring cloud services, digital solutions, and mobile apps thatare“goodenough”tomeettheirneeds.Inthis openmarketplaceforIT,businessrelevanceanduser engagementarecompetitivecurrency.ManyCIOsfindtheir organizationslacktheskillsandcrafttomintthenewcoin.

What’s missing may be a commitment to design as a businessdiscipline,acommitmentthattakesshapeby asking:What benefits would we gain if design were a pervasive and persistent aspect of each part of the enterprise?

History repeating itself?

Design as a Discipline

What were the challenges? What’s different in 2013?

Design thinking •Design thinking is an old term that has seen a resurgenceofinterest.CoinedbyHerbertA.Simonin19693, it has gained recognition in recent years throughtheworkofthedesignfirmIDEO4, as wellasprogramssuchastheHassoPlattner InstituteofDesignatStanford5. Agencies and product vendors are trying to capitalize on the new-foundpopularity–crowdingthemarket with different messages on the what, why, and howofdesignthinking.

•Designthinkingisofteninterpretedasadistinctprocess, prescriptively combining divergent and convergentideation,anchoredinachievingawell-definedgoal.Inthismodel,designthinkingcanbecome compartmentalized, as opposed to a new, holistic, disciplined approach.

•Design as a Discipline represents a systemic expansion of design thinking.Itlooksattheimportant intersection between creative, business experience,domainknowledge,andtechnicalengineering – creating shared language, shared approaches, and shared goals toward problem solving across the enterprise.

•DesignasaDisciplinecanknockdownthe compartmentalized boundaries of design thinking,movingbeyondproductmarketingandR&Dtovariouspartsoftheorganization.Shiftingtoanenterprise-wideconversation–whereeachproject strives to include creative, business, and engineeringtalent.Itcantakeaniterative, experimental, and experiential approach across the technology lifecycle – from portfolio planningandrequirementsgatheringtonewcapabilities around monitoring, improvement, and release planning.

User engagement6 / User empowerment7

•Userengagementemphasizesworkingbackwardfromanend-userpersonatoguideexperiencesthat get automated. The mantra of designing from theuser-down–notsystem-up–continuestoholdtrue.Thedangerliesinstoppingatthefront-endorfocusingoncreativeanduser-interfacecomponents without understanding downstream, back-endimplications.

•Userempowermentaddstouserengagementtheforces of consumerization and democratization of IT.Usersandcustomersexpecttogettechnologyfrom the enterprise that is at least as good as the technology they have at home. And they expect to get it when they need it, without undue time, cost, or bureaucracy. The challenge has become how to be responsive to these demands yet remain true to thedisciplinesofriskmanagementandquality.

•Design as a Discipline builds on the user engagement and user empowerment mantras – extendingthepersona-basedapproachto the underlying data, application, and infrastructure services.

•Design as a Discipline shifts from separate, adjunct processes to being embedded in overall solutiondelivery.InsteadofhavingaseparateteamworkingtoenableERPthroughmobile,usabilityanduserexperiencedesignskillsareembeddedacrosstheentireERPproject,informing not only mobile use cases, but also moreconventionalthreadslikebusinessprocesstemplates, business intelligence visualization, and interface specifications.

Design as a Discipline

Flying car futureLeonardoDaVinciestablishedthecredothat“simplicity istheultimateformofsophistication”16. Design as a discipline is following this cue – moving towards transparency and smooth integration across computing devices, applications, and increasingly connected physical devices.

Transparency is the evolutionary path of the user interface. We’vemovedfromcharacter-basedinteractionwithmain-frameandDOSprograms,tomouse-basedinteractionwithclient/serverandWeb-basedsolutions,totouch-basedinteractionwithtoday’smobiledevices.Allrequireanexplicit step of tactile manipulation of a computing node. Thefuturewilllikelycontinuethejourney,relyingonvoicecontrols,gestures,andcontext–knowingwhoyouare,whereyouare,andwhatyou’relikelytryingtodo–to triggerambientfunctionality.Forexample,walkingthroughthecheck-outwithyourcartfullofgoodscouldtrigger: facial recognition to confirm identity, calculation of the amount due, searching through social profiles to determine coupons or other promotions, and processing paymentfromamobilewallet–allwithoutrequiringyouto directly interact with any explicit piece of technology.

Behindthescenes,thisscenariorequiresastaggeringlevelof integration – in both the design of solutions to pair user experience with the underlying technical demands, and also across the various components allowing for the end-to-endexperience.Intheexampleabove,identityandentitlement management services are performing the user authentication,point-of-salescannersareworkingwithpricing engines to determine amount due for the specific cartofgoods,salesandmarketingenginesareinteractingwith public social profiles and loyalty services to determine potential savings, and mobile wallet services are interacting withcheckoutscannersandback-endpaymentprocessorsto settle the transaction.

Design as a Discipline

Where do you start? Design as a discipline efforts often encounter two broad objections. They are seen as either too daunting given existingtalentpools,ortoonebulousandfluffy.Modestbeginnings can lead to profound changes.

• Userfirst.Beginbytakingapersona-based, user-focusedapproach–understandingwhothe stakeholdersare,howtheyliveandwork,andthecontextoftheproblemyou’retryingtosolve.Empathyiscritical – from field research on how users are behaving today,todivergentthinkingtocapture“outthere”ideasabout how they might behave tomorrow. Design as a discipline prioritizes user stories, conceptual designs, andprototypestosolicitfeedbackonpotentialdesignoptionsusing“show,”not“tell,”techniques–often discovering features and capabilities that would be missedinconventionalrequirementsJADsessions.

• Solution design.It’snotenoughtofocusongorgeousvisualsandintuitivefront-ends.Solutionengineersshouldparticipateineachphaseoftheproject–fromup-frontvisioning to solution ideation to finalizing conceptual design.Thishelpskeepthe“artofthefeasible”presentas concepts are being explored. Technical complexity mightberequiredbecauseoftrulydifferentiatedfeaturesorcomplexend-userneeds,butitshouldbeaconsciouschoice. Don’t get caught in a situation where technical lightweightsdrivescopingandfront-enddesignwithoutunderstandinghowtomakeconceptsreal.

• Productmindset. Similar to their industrial design brethren,ITshopsshouldadoptproductmarketingandengineeringmentalities–committedtofrequent incremental releases, with freedom to react in a timely mannertoopportunities.ProductownersfromthebusinessbecomecriticalmembersoftheextendedITcommunity – owning the product vision and roadmap.

• Avoidtissuerejection.Chooseanearlybusiness sponsor with simpatico sensitivities. The big picture goal of design as a discipline involves extending across the enterprise at large. But manufacturing or finance might notbetherightplacestostart.SomeCIOshaveinitiallyfocusedonmarketingdepartments–groupswho appreciatedesignandUXskill-sets,havegrownwaryoftraditionalITapproachesandsolutions,butarechargedwithmakingmassiveITinvestmentsasdigitalchangestheir worlds.

Bottom lineHaving in-house design knowledge is a strategy to stay relevant to business executives who are enticed by new ways of procuring technologies outside of the CIO’s purview – from one-off cloud purchases to departmental and line-of-business technology initiatives. Consumerization and democratization can be threats to the IT department, or they can be the impetus for design as a discipline – moving information technology from its existing cross-roads forward, with intent, to a preferred state.

For corporate IT, design as a discipline is the “so what” and the “or else” of today’s consumerization wave. It is a chance to change how solutions are delivered – borrowing from industrial designers and architects – by combining highly complementary skill sets to foster divergent ideation, innovation, and streamlined product build-out. It is also a chance to change perceptions of what to expect from IT, setting a baseline of engaging, elegant solutions that combine intuitive interfaces with reliable, secure, scalable, performing technology stacks. And as importantly, it is a way to bring new approaches to the realization of business needs – showing responsiveness to the new normal of usability in consumer technologies.

Although the topics are familiar, the underlying trends continuetoevolveatanastoundingpace.Takemobile,forexample.In2010thestorywasaboutubiquitousconnectivityanddevice(i.e.,smartphone)advances.In2011,thefocuswasonthe“app”–andtheadventofthetablet.In2012,wecoveredenterpriseimplicationsfor prioritization of opportunities, as well as the operational realities of governing, managing, and delivering mobile solutions. And now in 2013, we consider mobile’s place as an utmost strategic priority. The very notionof“devices”isexplodingintonear-ubiquitousconnectivity of many physical objects. The fundamental element of mobile still applies – the innovative idea of removing limitations based on physical location, and of a truly untethered enterprise. But the supporting nuanceanddetailsaremovingatarapidclip,makingitparamountforITexecutivestokeeppacewithchange.
