The biggest challenges of digitalization today lie less and less in technology, or the lack of competence of IT specialists. The main bottleneck stays in governance.
Recent years have brought a much better understanding of aligning IT development projects with business needs. Still, it is common that such alignment is limited just to this specific development project.
What is still missing is upgrading the whole governance and management approach and methodology to meet the needs of a truly digital organization. This means aligning all the management areas and methods with the needs of the implementation of new technologies. This requires a holistic look at all the management fields starting from the value proposition and value-chain design to HR, operations management, etc. All the approaches and methods need a revision in the view of digital transformation.
