Joseph Nathan Kane Bücher
Digital technologies are reshaping organizations, prompting managers to seek solutions for competitive advantage. This guide focuses on the necessary organizational changes to effectively leverage technology rather than solely on the technology itself. The authors emphasize that digital disruption is fundamentally about people, asserting that successful transformation requires shifts in organizational dynamics and work processes. Merely implementing the right technologies is insufficient for success; fostering a culture that embraces agility, risk tolerance, and experimentation is crucial. Drawing from four years of research with MIT Sloan Management Review and Deloitte, including surveys of over 16,000 individuals and interviews with leaders from companies like Walmart, Google, and Salesforce, the authors introduce the concept of digital maturity. This refers to an organization’s ability to capitalize on technological opportunities. Key aspects of digital transformation include creating a digital environment, promoting intentional collaboration, and nurturing an experimental mindset. Organizations must grasp their "digital DNA" to transition from "doing digital" to "being digital." As digital disruption continues to evolve, the insights provided will remain relevant for workers navigating multiple waves of change throughout their careers.
