How can you undergo digital transformation successfully?
Too often, it is led without a clear vision by those at the top of the organisation who are just looking to launch technology pilots across the business. To do it well means you may have to challenge your thinking to inspire new ways of working.
David Rogers is my guest in this episode, an expert in digital transformation who has been at the forefront of advising to and teaching companies how to do it well. He discusses the 5 critical steps to digital transformation as well as how companies can sustain it.
He also shares how the New York Times went from doing it badly to becoming more profitable and sustainable when they got it right. As well as how A.I. will change the future of digital transformations.
