06: THE DIGITAL (TRANSFORMATION) DIVIDE

Poor digital agility

Going through a digital transformation means making a lot of changes. If your organization lacks digital agility, it will be incredibly hard to get any type of digitization effort off the ground.

What is digital agility? Digital agility describes the ease with which an organization can rapidly enable, update, change, or adapt their processes. It is a specific type of business agility that encompasses the processes, tools, and software an organization uses to perform basic business functions.

Common roadblocks caused by poor digital agility include:

Inability to make real-time changes to processes
Overcomplicated processes, software, and systems
Relying heavily on technical workers and IT to complete everyday tasks
A resistance to change due to heavy investments in legacy systems
Limitations on innovation and progress
