12 Reasons Your Digital Transformation Will Fail
Digital transformation (DX) is often seen as a doomed effort, with failure rates ranging from 70% to 95% according to major consultancies. However, the author of this report, an organizational behaviorist with experience leading DX projects, argues that the failure is not due to inadequate technology, organizational capacity, or lack of funds, but rather due to a lack of attention to soft skills. Here are the 12 reasons why DX efforts typically fail:
- Lack of alignment to business outcomes
- Lack of awareness within the organization
- Micromanagement/mismanagement of agile teams
- Distraction by the minutia
- Shiny toy syndrome
- Inability to translate into executive language
- Lack of control over external vendors
- Lack of training for internal users
- Loss of talent to competitors
- Resistance for fear of being replaced
- Slow decision-making processes
- Poor prioritization of development
According to the author, these issues arise due to a focus on technology and a lack of attention to the soft skills required for successful DX, including leadership, communication, and change management. The author argues that DX is 80% soft skills and 20% technology, and that the right leader for a DX project should have a strong foundation in both.
