A Clear Vision

Rikkii Richman MBA – 11/02/2021

I read daily about digital transformation & the key elements required to succeed. I’ve also posted & written articles myself. But embarking on a digital transformation journey is no guarantee of success – approximately 80% of change programs fail. To be in the other 20%, a clear vision is essential.

This takes time & needs input from across the organisation. Once clear the senior leadership team must buy into it & cascade the vision & strategy across their teams. It needs effective communication & targeted training to ready the organisation for the shift; they need to be culturally ready & capable. It requires smart leadership; adopting a bi-modal approach so the as-is operation runs effectively, whilst the transformation activities to the future state & target operating model unfolds.

It needs a skilled workforce, maybe the greatest challenge for those organisations who recently offloaded their talent to save costs. People make successful digital transformations, not technology. They’ll need empowering & space for experimental learning for rapid results. And wise, new technology decisions are essential, as legacies are unpicked & finally retired.
