Recommendation

If you try to squeeze into jeans you've outgrown, you may initially succeed, but eventually a button will pop. Similarly, you may be able to enforce corporate change, but it will fall apart if your culture doesn't support it. Jim Hemerling, Julie Kilmann, Martin Danoesastro, Liza Stutts and Cailin Ahern of the Boston Consulting Group explain why your digital transformation must come with a sweeping culture change. getAbstract recommends their applicable report to managers at any stage of a digital transformation. 

Take-Aways

  • Becoming a digital organization represents a paradigm shift and thus requires a culture supportive of change.
  • Emphasizing culture improves a company's performance following digital transformation – both immediately and years afterward.
  • A digital culture is a high-performance culture. Accordingly, individuals and groups are results-oriented and engaged, their work and behavior further the company’s strategy, and the work environment nurtures these qualities.
