Episode Synopsis
Stephanie Woerner reads MIT CISR's September 2017 research briefing, which she co-authored with Peter Weill. See the text version and related content at https://cisr.mit.edu/publication/2017_0901_DigitalPathways_WeillWoerner.
Abstract: Just about every big old company is on a digital transformation journey, often without a playbook. In this briefing, we provide a digital transformation playbook—at least the first chapter. We answer the questions: what is digital business transformation, what percentage of firms have transformed, and how do they perform? We also share the four viable pathways for transformation and their pros and cons. As the goal for your company is not digital transformation, but rather business transformation using digital capabilities, we finish by providing some advice on how to choose a pathway that will help you achieve your business goals.
