We participate in digital transformation projects, provide consultancy services, and take responsibility in digital transformation initiatives.
Through all these experiences, I have personally witnessed and continue to experience how challenging and demanding it is to achieve true digital transformation and reach the desired outcomes.
Digital transformation requires determination. Reaching the targeted point necessitates greater effort, collaboration, and coordination.
Four interconnected pillars play a crucial role in this journey:
1- Technology
2- Data
3- Processes,
4- Corporate transformation/structural adaptation
A deficiency in any one of these areas can become a significant obstacle to achieving the desired level of transformation. Technology is the engine of digital transformation, data is its fuel, processes form the roadmap, and organizational adaptation acts as the landing gear.
Setting a vision, patiently communicating it to relevant stakeholders, developing a plan that adapts to evolving conditions, and advancing without getting lost in details are essential for uninterrupted progress. At the core of all these efforts lies the human factor.
Digital transformation, above all, requires human capability. Technology, data, and change can only be realized through the people who take responsibility for achieving this goal.
Undoubtedly, having knowledgeable and experienced individuals does not guarantee success. However, the absence of such individuals can create serious obstacles on the path to transformation.
