Businesses are spending $2 trillion annually on digital transformation projects, according to IDC.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mark Raskino<\/a>, distinguished VP analyst at Gartner, said that<\/a> “in three to five years, every industry will be digitally remastered. Remember in the past IT was a support service? It was not ‘what we do.’ Anywhere and everywhere, tech is becoming part of what we do.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the problem is that change is hard. McKinsey reports<\/a> that 86 percent of digital transformation projects fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McKinsey goes on to summarize<\/a> that “\u2026 the painful reality is that most transformations fail. Common pitfalls include a lack of employee engagement, inadequate management support, poor or nonexistent cross-functional collaboration, and a lack of accountability. Furthermore, sustaining a transformation\u2019s impact typically requires a major reset in mind-sets and behaviors\u2014something that few leaders know how to achieve.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a piece for CNBC<\/a>, Keith Kitani<\/a>, CEO of GuideSpark, points to digital transformation projects that have failed by GE, Ford and Proctor & Gamble<\/a>. Kitani argues that “people aren’t the problem; it’s the organization’s failure to communicate effectively with its people that sets them up for digital transformation trouble from the start.”<\/p>\n
