In January  I moderated a panel on Digital transformation and change management hosted by the @Pistoia Alliance.  The panel of @Adama Ibrahim @Sally Walsh @ Paul Denny Gouldson and @Gary Heusner brought their extensive digital transformation experiences insights to share.  After understanding why they are all so passionate about this topic we heard about some of the challenges and frustrations they have faced.  They also shared their wisdom and described how challenges can be overcome.  Strategies they have used to ensure that investments in Digital Transformation can be realised by increasing the adoption of new technologies were highlighted.

The four takeaways for me were:

  1. Focus on the goals and outcomes of your transformation
  2. Build the skills and capabilities that are needed
  3. Involve people (adopters and other stakeholders) in design and implementation
  4. Invest in the resources you need for success notably in change management

As @Adama said – “It’s all about the Human side of change”

Thanks go to the Pistoia Alliance Team especially @ZahidTharia for his coordination.
