LESSONS LEARNED
​
A strong mandate and visible leader-ship from top management are essential for effectively steering digital transformation initiatives.
Furthermore, involving employees directly and enhancing their digital literacy are key to overcoming resistance to change and cultivating a culture that embraces these new shifts.
Lastly, it is important to develop a detailed yet straightforward framework that outlines small, manageable steps.
