The digital asset management microcosm: a high-dimensional New Zealand view

Digital asset management, as part of a larger organisational data strategy, is arguably a firm’s most valuable asset. Proprietary data encompass theanalytical actualities of the day-to-day, and illuminate the value-add assets driving business strategy. It is difficult to replicate; it can be a powerful device. The New Zealand microcosm can spark innovative and integrated insights into digitally enabled asset management initiatives. For big data that is raw, structured, unstructured or high-dimensional, nascent technologies are creating entirely new frontiers that organisations may ignore at their peril. By viewing a small, tech-savvy ecosystem within a culture that values sustainability, environmental regeneration and stewardship, paradigms that lead to novel or agile innovations arise. This research indicates new trends in high-dimensional digital asset management that can be leveraged intrapreneurially to develop world-class opportunities of global consequence. Asset reallocation considerations are indicated, while issues and challenges are explored. In particular, emerging high dimensional research advances are highlighted with an evolutionary focus. Applications for these data are discussed as a preface for shedding light on fields that are opening in more entrepreneurial settings, because of the digital ecosystem that is developing. The summary groups applications most likely to return transformational outcomes when targeted digital asset strategies underpin organisational operations, albeit with supportive management.
