Introduction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Organizational culture plays the most important role in digital transformation since it requires people to adopt new processes, new ways of organization, new work methodologies, and approaches to overcome old habits and interact in a different way both internally and with clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Redefining \u201cOrganization\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The concept of \u201corganization\u201d in this context means a lot more than the real structure of a company in terms of hierarchy, responsibilities, and areas. In a digital transformation world, an organization includes a work culture and a collection of practices and approaches that are key to executing the digital transformation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A digital transformation does not only mean leveraging the opportunities given to us by technology itself, but it also represents the transition towards an agile culture. Organizational culture plays an essential role in the digital transformation process of any company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies don\u2019t simply decide to make a change and then just step back and wait for a long time to pass by to decide they need to make another move. Nowadays, there is a need to create new impulse and rythm within the business that shows the current situation of the industry the company is operating in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cultural Oversight is a Frequent Mistake to Avoid.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In my experience and humble opinion, I have seen several times the directors of companies overlook the cultural implications of digital initiatives they\u2019re trying to lead. It requires for companies to operate in a way they have never expected, to be extremely tolerant to risks and mistakes, and to do it at a new speed they probably weren\u2019t used to. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Essential Values for Digital Transformation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Several papers I have read along my career identify some of the key values or nice-to-have behaviors that are deemed to be crucial in order for digital transformation to succeed: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
