NOVEMBER 2022CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6EditorialThe "Human" Element of Digital TransformationPandemic, economic meltdown, recession--the year 2022 was quite happening for the business world. Organizations have been impelled to rapidly change their strategies and planning to stay relevant and go beyond the market volatility. Digital transformation has become one of the most sought-after strategies in this regard.Every organization is today on the path of achieving digital excellence to cater to a global clientele, make employees more efficient, diminish silos across the organization, and the list goes on. A huge gap, however, often remains between the perceived digital transformation objectives and what is really achieved.If you ask "why?" the answer will be simple: the tendency to see digital transformation just as the implementation of cutting-edge tools without proper homework or planning. Yes, some of the operations become smart, but organizational silos remain unchanged.Change management becomes an essential tool in this regard. Every business must architect a sound plan to deal with the changes that will come with a new solution or changed processes. Everything has to be transparent, and the leadership team must convey all the long-term goals to their team members. This will create a sense of trust and motivate others to go above and beyond to support an organization's long-term vision. Investment in digital transformation projects will increase in the coming years, but if organizations fail to focus on the "human" aspect of things, the ultimate goal will never be achieved. In this edition, we are introducing readers to all the intricacies of digital transformation and helping them drive success.Let us know your thoughts.Joe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipCopyright © 2022 ValleyMedia, Inc.
