Politics Influencing Tactics

The digital champion and associated team must align with the company vision and develop support from people by understanding their constraints and helping them gain desired support. They must forge close personal bonds, network outside hierarchical relationships to win over more supporters, and employ pull-influencing strategies to win their trust and commitment.

Cultural Challenge

It is rightly said that culture can eat strategy for breakfast. Leading digital transformation in this disruptive environment requires complete buy-in from employees and stakeholders. Digital transformation is achievable only through establishing a strong culture in depth and breadth.

It is imperative that each employee is guided by the company’s core principles and contributes to the success of the company. A robust cultural foundation can be a glue that holds the organization together and enables a compelling and digitally ready future.
