Digital Transformation: Challenges in Change & Organization

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 on 1 of the 3 categories of Digital Transformation challenges. We will cover the third category of challenges; and its 3 composite challenges:

1. Agility Challenge
Organizations that can execute Digital Transformation well are “Agile” organizations. They have overcome challenges to create and sustain Agile mindsets, structures, and strategies, which are necessary to successfully engage with collaborative networks.

2. Ambidexterity Challenge
Studies have shown organizations that exhibit “Ambidexterity” excel in driving breakthrough Innovations, such as those required for truly impactful Digital Transformation.

3. Connectivity Challenge
The Connectivity Challenge refers to the need for collaboration across functional, divisional, and inter-organizational boundaries, while also leveraging tribal differences as a source of Learning and Innovation.
