The digital part of a digital transformation is actually a little bit less than half the battle. The other half is where you need an expert. Or you can do it yourself and call me when it fails. That’s what my competitors do. Why? Because they don’t get that change ought to be personal. And when people-informed change management happens in a digital transformation – you get rockstar results. Here are things to think about that’ll keep your digital transformation from becoming a dumpster fire. 1. Do you have a good change management PLAN in place? All successful digital transformations need people-centric change management at some point, and so will you. 2. Have you gathered and DOCUMENTED requirements? BEFORE you go to RFP? 3. Have you fully explored ALL potential sources of funding to get it done? 4. Can you get it done in the TIME you need to make it happen (do you even have an idea of how long it will actually take)? On budget? 5. Do you have the SKILLS internally to create the organizational change required to make the digital transformation ultimately successful? I can almost promise you that you don’t. Digital transformation is a gnarly AF adventure. Not ready to do this alone?
