In today's world, digital transformation is becoming an important step for almost every modern company, be it in the context of moving towards already defined goals, resilience and maturity, or following key trends.
Like all complex processes, digital transformation involves many aspects, ranging from business models, project management, and innovative culture change to adjustments in internal processes and ways of working, as well as the development of new capabilities and skills. In other words, digital transformation may be understood not only as a process of incorporating digital technologies into a company‘s existing operational model to modify it substantially. More importantly, it entails an overall change in mindset and way of operating. Undergoing digital transformation therefore involves other steps that go beyond the implementation of digital technologies and should not be overlooked or ignored if digital transformation is to be successful and profitable. One of them is undoubtedly the transformation of the corporate culture. Another example is the strategic management of structural changes in line with the newly implemented digital architecture and the alignment of people with technology. Other operational principles include innovation, leadership and risk management.
The journey through digital transformation is far from easy – it requires strategic planning, significant interventions into the internal structures and adequate resources. As the complexity of the process implies, there is enough room for serious errors to lurk undetected and fundamentally affect your company's future operations if not identified and corrected in time.
