Many companies are now relying on modern technologies, spending a lot of money on the latest technology š», being convinced that they will definitely succeed in their digital transformation. They are trying to buy digitalization - making it a pure IT project - but there’s more to be considered!
Just an IT Project?
Some companies are already one step ahead. They are also working on modernizing their processes, but for many of them the internal mindset is not changing at all. In practice, this aspect is not sufficiently considered - many companies and managers are probably not aware of the importance of modern, open mindsets with regard to digital transformation. What is your situation?
Three Pillars of Digital Transformation: People, Processes and Technology
Your digital transformation is based on three pillars. People, processes and technology. Your digital transformation project cannot be successful without strong business processes and the empowerment of your employees.
Digital Transformation is a Cultural Transformation
Such a transformation is a deep, complex change process and change always starts in the minds of employees. In addition to your technologies, you need to update your internal mindsets, your processes and your habits. It is crucial that the change to digital itself becomes part of your corporate culture. It’s about rethinking your cultural values and redefining your goals. That’s quite a lot to take on at once, so the best way is to proceed in small steps.
A good Change Management is essential
In this context, change management plays an essential role. Your digital transformation is the goal and your change management is the tool you need to achieve this goal.
In essence, it’s about getting your employees out of their comfort zone, out of their old rut and dare to try new approaches instead. Otherwise, your company is simply filling new bottles with old wine - this is one of the biggest mistakes you can make in change management. Better fill new wine in new bottles!

Your Success factor: getting Employees on Board
Since people are involved in the process, the whole thing unfortunately does not work according to the plug-and-play principle. Of course, there are employees who are usually happy about innovations and changes. But there are also those who value their old habits and are generally skeptical about new things. One example of this is the increasing transparency associated with digitalization.
Employees can have different fears and concerns about the digital transformation. These employees need a little more support. It helps if you involve them right from the start to win them over to your digitalization and ideally even get them excited about it.
The Digital Transformation costs a lot of Time and Energy - but it will be worth it in the Long Term!
Digital transformation is not a short-term IT project; it is also about transforming your corporate culture. What is your current view on the topic? Are you prepared to change - possibly even radically - for digitalization and to rethink your previous values?
