The People-Side of Digital Transformation

How to ensure your digital transformation survives engagement with people.

Digital transformations mean organizational change, but organizations do not change; people do. So digital transformation means changing people—and people hate to change.

 

  • How can we help people understand the What, Why, and How of a digital transformation?
  • How can we re-align our organizational culture, processes, and practices?
  • How can we create change at scale, reaching 100, 1,000, or even 100,000 people?

 

Dave will share XPLANE’s tools and techniques for driving the people-side of organizational change and digital transformation. He will share a recent case study that:

  • Demonstrates the tools and techniques in action;
  • Explains the communication and engagement approach used;
  • And shares the results and key learnings from the change program.
