On September 9, 2020, Netflix just released the documentary namely The Social Dilemma. It tells us about tech experts from Silicon Valley sound the alarm on the dangerous impact of social networking, which Big Tech has attempted to manipulate and influence.

The main mind of this documentary’s creator never before has a handful of tech designers had such control over billions of how we think, act, and live our lives.

And the other mind is that technology that connects us, also controls, manipulates, polarizes, distract, divide, control, and polarize us. The real thing about it is we are responsible for ourselves, no matter how they are trying to demand or control us.

HOW DO WE ACHIEVE IT

Digital empowerment is creating an organizational environment itself in which Digital Transformation flourishes rather than an organization led and controlled by the outside digital world.

Research by MIT has found that those particular sectors that develop with digital mastery could increase their profit margins by over 25%.

An immeasurable part of this empowerment is creating and developing a culture that supports swift innovation. As the main topic from The Social Dilemma Netflix’s Documentary highlighted the digitalization empowerment increase in all industries — what we have to do is use it in an effective way and become prepared or adaptive in the now-on era.

WHAT DOES CULTURE HAVE TO DO WITH DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION

A company’s culture is the environment in which people operate, ideas are born, people are hired, work is done and people interact with one another. Culture is experienced in the way we do everything in our organizations from how we hire, how we interact, how we reward, how we communicate our ideas, how we motivate, and else. But one thing we have to know is that our culture is not usually consciously create, but evolves over time as particular ways of doing things become normal and accepted.

GOOD CULTURE AND BAD CULTURE

Like the documentary that I mentioned, The Social Dilemma tells us that digital transformation or products become out of their expectation, that the products or the transformation grow too fast and make a significant change to humanity and that’s bad.

There will be no endless time that we debate ‘good’ or ‘bad’ culture because a ‘good’ is one that supports us to reach our goals and enable our people to align with their values. And the ‘bad’ is the digital age is one that stifles creativity, disempowers people, and feels cumbersome and inflexible to work in or do business with.

Quite often, our interaction with these useful digital products leaves us feeling needy, frustrated, and psychosomatic. This empowerment means becoming more confident, especially in controlling our own lives and asserting our rights.

Despite that, Digitalization really helps humanity. Starts with thousand of new jobs has been creating, collaborations between humans, machines, and algorithms, saving lives with smart mines and ports.
