We are extremely excited to present the Navigate the Future blog, brought to you by Dassault Systèmes North America, where we will explore many of the key business challenges that we are facing today, while also diving in and considering the creative ways in which innovative businesses intend to achieve in the future.
While Dassault Systèmes is most certainly a global company, we are also extremely proud of our presence here in North America, and in addition to having 2,800 Dassault Systèmes employees based in North America, 7 of our 12 brands are headquartered here as well.
As Navigate the Future continues to take shape we’ll look forward to your ongoing participation and input. At Dassault Systèmes we are extremely fortunate to have relationships that travel in so many diverse directions, and to work with so many customers that are at the heart of innovation, including great disruptors of industry right here in North America — from Boeing to Cessna, Ford to Tesla Motors, Proctor & Gamble to Vans.
Through the Navigate the Future blog we look forward to introducing healthy discussion around the key topics relevant to business today and also to leveraging a variety of contributors to help inspire healthy dialogue and also to ensure that we are continually introducing fresh ideas.
Potential Areas for Exploration
While the direction will certainly evolve, here are few areas we are likely to focus on inside of the pages of Navigate the Future:
- New Markets and connected products. With the rapid pace of innovation, new opportunities can quickly establish themselves, and in particular we look forward to celebrating the Internet of Things as it continues to define itself.
- Big Data and Connecting the Dots. Big Data is acknowledged as vital to the Enterprise but there are still questions. What to do with this data? How to collect it? How to layer intelligence on it? Where should data reside?
- The Evolution of Product Lifecycles is another rich area we are excited about. Who are the stakeholders? What are the roles? Where are the next greatest layers of intelligence coming from? How do engineering and marketing communicate?
- People. New technologies require a workforce with aligned skills and talents. How do companies nurture their talent? How are companies resourcing based on technologies that have yet to be invented?
And that is just a taste of where we can go. Needless to say, it is an exciting time in business, and we look forward to taking this journey with you. With the above as a backdrop we encourage to keep in touch, to share your thoughts, and also to subscribe to our blog.
