Digital business transformation is an organization-wide change that leverages technology solutions to create, deliver and capture value for businesses. A common misconception is that digital transformation is rooted in technology or digital channels to market. Oftentimes, companies tend to place the focus on the ‘digital’ part, rather than the ‘transformation’ part. The digital part opens doors to exponential possibilities, but it is the transformation part, the journey that an organization goes through with the ecosystem of people, that creates the solid foundation to accelerate these exponential possibilities.
At the core of digital business transformation is an ecosystem of people:
-
board members and management teams that drive change;
-
employees that adopt, embrace, and advocate for change;
-
customers that trigger the change;
-
external stakeholders such as partners and suppliers that support the implementation of change.

Overall, The Human Side of Digital Business Transformation is a comprehensive guide that provides a thorough understanding of the human component of digital transformation and how it can drive success in digital business transformation. It is a valuable resource for business leaders, change managers, and other professionals involved in digital transformation.
