Most digital transformation efforts are not full steam ahead and on-time arrival is extremely rare. Seventy percent of complex, large-scale digital transformations go off the rails at some point. Most never get back on track. Some never even depart from the station.
One reason transformation efforts don’t pick up steam is that employees are not “all aboard.” (Are you sick of our analogy yet? Stick with us...)
Lack of collaboration between teams can lead to poor corporate performance. In addition, lack of employee alignment at the beginning, middle, and end of a change process can hinder progress.
But there are ways to get team members engaged in the process and your journey back on track. Implementing digital self-serve technology doubles the chance of transformation success. And when the technology is easy to incorporate and encourages cross-functional collaboration companies can more quickly reach maximum speed.
