Digital Transformation: Challenges in Execution

Description
Digital Transformation is now at the forefront of most strategic agendas, as COVID-19 has accelerated the digitization of many industries by a decade or longer. The importance of "going digital" is undisputed.

However, successful and truly disruptive Digital Transformation requires massive efforts to create strategic and organizational capabilities that enable the organization to compete successfully in the Digital Era. These efforts become increasingly complex for larger organizations.

This framework introduces 9 key challenges to large scale Digital Transformation, which can be categorized into 3 areas:

1. Challenges in Execution
2. Challenges in Resources
3. Challenges in Organization and Change

This presentation is part of a series of 3 frameworks, each focused 1 of the 3 categories of Digital Transformation challenges. We will cover the initial category of execution challenges; and its 3 composite challenges:

1. The Legacy Challenge - In order to adopt new, emerging technologies, we must first deal with the complex and likely outdated legacy systems.

2. The Governance Challenge - Like all large scaled changes, Digital Transformation requires proper Governance structures in place to be successful. This challenge entails deploying tactics to mitigate stakeholder politics and to coordinate the abundance of transformational activities.

3. The Innovation Challenge - Digital Transformations should be disruptive in nature and must harness the entrepreneurial spirit of the organization to drive breakthrough Innovation.
