A people-centred approach to digital transformation

Change may be an inevitable part of life, but that's not to say it's always navigated successfully. In the workplace, change management is even tougher. Research shows that just 30% of digital transformation projects achieve their objectives. What's going wrong?

With the focus solely on the technical and process changes required, which of course are critical, it's possible the end-users, your own workers, have been left out of the equation. It isn't the lack of resources or budget constraints that result in so many change initiative failures - it's human behaviour. A more human-centric approach could be the answer, leading to higher user adoption of new technology and more successful change outcomes.

In this webinar, we'll cover:

• Why digital transformation projects often fail

• How to take a people-centric approach to transformation

• How to bring executives and other key stakeholders along the change journey

• Tips for engaging frontline and flexible workers in digital transformation projects
