As discussed in previous blog posts, the The Digital Solutions Economy™ (DSE) is continuing to disrupt conventional customer engagement business models by shifting away from one-off sales transactions and toward subscriptions, bundling and multi-faceted relationships.  DSE is already transforming many B2C markets and is also rapidly making inroads into B2B scenarios as well.

This new installment in our on-going DSE series focuses on the overarching issues regarding how DSE is radically changing the nature of data flows that must be handled while at the same time driving up the importance of real-time responsiveness.

These impacts on data levels and flows can be grouped into four key dimensions of Volume, Velocity, Density, and Complexity.

Most corporate leaders are already familiar with "environmental, social and governance reporting" often referred to as ESG. 

However, for the past couple of decades, ESG has typically consisted of producing an annual glossy Corporate Responsibility Report that discussed various initiatives in descriptive terms across  areas such as energy usage, waste stream mitigation, labor practices, community programs, charitable giving, etc.  While these reports represented an important element for communicating a company's corporate-citizenship vision and were also positive public relations initiatives, for the most part they did not contain a lot of hard, auditable data.

As the world has become more serious about mitigating climate change and the issue of corporate responsibility moves to the forefront, ESG  reporting is now shifting toward a more rigorous approach that is increasingly based on accounting disciplines and auditable practices.  In the area of climate change, this is often referred to as "carbon accounting".
