The human factor in the digital transformation – and it looks pretty grim

Posted byEva-Maria HempePosted inUncategorized

An interesting study by Dell wit some pretty shocking numbers
– 56% of respondents said that they do not always have the energy/ motivation to put the digital transformation into action at work
– 69% of respondents are worried that they do not have the necessary competencies for a digital transformation
– 60% said that corporate culture limits employee-driven innovation
– 53% were worried that their company will be cut off from the developing digital world due to a lack of employees with the right authority/ vision

BUT 69% are looking forward to learning new competencies and technologies and/ or optimizing their role through more automatisation

👉 So it’s not a “will” problem but rather a “skill” one – which is good news as those can be (easier) solved but leaders have their work cut out.

👉 What are your best practices with regard to upskilling, motivating and shifting corporate cultures?
