To succeed, a digital transformation should allow the company to interact differently with customers (outstanding customer experience), to use technologies in order to redesign its processes, including new capabilities (human-machine collaboration).
This transformation implies a more flexible organization, including all the necessary skills and agility to keep pace with the adaptation to the fast-changing digital world.
CHANGE MANAGEMENT
While challenges of transformation are succeeding one another and are accelerating, organizations must be more agile and should integrate meaningful changes on the long run. Every transformation project involves the use of new tools, the design of new processes, organization and corporate culture. Successful transformations require employees’ onboarding to make them becoming ambassadors of the company.
In addition, change management methods should adapt to both internal and external changes for instance to the new coming generations to the workforce (millennials), to digital knowledge extension, to collaborative and agile project management framework's implementation.
