51. What is the Secret to Successful Digital Transformation? (Kevin Pashuk)

Digital transformation has been a hot topic for some time. Integrating new digital technologies into the workflow of organizations, has been the focus of many leaders and IT departments. The focus is often on the actual technology, the investments needed, and the training that will be required. However, without carefully designing a new system (both in terms of technology and organizationally) there is a real danger that the new technologies will not have the desired impact. Although designing a system to support new technologies is time consuming and costly, my guest in this episode will explain why it is invaluable to the success of the organization.
