Abstract: Abstract New technologies like 5G, Edge Computing, cloudification and softwarization allow Telcos to reinvent their networks and transform them into a source for new business and enabler for a unique market position. However, the challenge is to the least extent an engineering task. The transformation will require a new organization with design principles that leverage new network technologies to the fullest: A new way of working for people, convergence enabling to break silos and economical innovation. A fundamental transformation is the order of the day and the change should start immediately to unfold the full potential of the new technologies. This article describes the magic of the future network, derives the design principles for new technology organizations and outlines a blueprint for a new organization based on an operating model.
