“The project management of digital transformation can easily turn into a horror story. Due to the scale of the business change, sometimes it’s difficult to comprehend which aspects of innovation need to be included where.That’s where the dreaded scope creep comes in. An occurrence that can happen on any project, particularly a large one like the digital transformation of your business.So, the scope creep is a project manager’s worst nightmare, but its official definition is:Adding features and functionality (project scope) without addressing the effects on time, costs and resources, or without customer approval”

Industry Standards and Regulatory Frameworks – Cheat Sheet by Sameer Paradkar

“Few organizations keep compliance data i.e. all data belonging or pertaining to the enterprise or included in the law, which can be used for implementing or validating compliance in a separate store for meeting requirements. Compliance software is increasingly being implemented to help companies manage their compliance data more efficiently. Regulatory frameworks provide true, actionable guidance i.e. actual structure which becomes a backbone for organizational initiatives.Standards make it easier to understand and compare competing products. As standards are globally adopted and applied in many markets, they also fuel international trade. It is only through the use of standards that the requirements of interconnectivity and interoperability can be assured. It is only through the application of standards that the credibility of new products and new markets can be verified.”

Digital transformation for the healthcare industry: five things to consider by Ying Lei

Healthcare industry is benefiting from Digital Transformation in multiple ways, with all of us receiving positive benefits out of it. In this article, the author goes through five considerations for the digital experts in Healthcare; a recommended read.

The article discusses the risks and concerns about the security aspect of the IoT implementations, the current public perception and governments’ take on the matter. “The safety and security of internet of things (IoT) devices remains a vexing issue for lawmakers, while a survey from the Internet Society shows there is still some way to go before reaching widespread public acceptance of IoT connectivity. The survey, conducted in six countries by polling firm IPSOS Mori, found that 65% of those surveyed are concerned with how connected devices collect data, while 55% do not trust those devices to protect their privacy.

Is Space the Next Frontier for Innovation in Gov Tech? by Dustin Haisler and Dennis McKenna

Excellent overview of opportunities for governments in a space-as-a-platform domain. “Space launches have gotten a lot cheaper and satellites have gotten a lot smaller. These two things combined mean we’re entering an age where space can factor in to service delivery for government.“We’re launching our own damn satellite,” said former California Gov. Jerry Brown, in September 2018, expressing frustration with what he felt was slow work on climate change research. Brown saw value in space for state government early in his political career, even earning himself the nickname ‘Gov. Moonbeam’ in 1976 from a Chicago Tribune columnist. Brown’s views on space may have seemed far-fetched 40 years ago, but a host of new technologies and companies are opening up possibilities and introducing use cases that may make space the next tech frontier for state and local agencies.”
