"The Yin and Yang of Digital Transformation"

Among other things, mastering digital transformation requires a combination of two distinct but related dimensions – digital capabilities and leadership capabilities.

Digital capabilities are acquired by investing in technology-enabled initiatives to change how the company operates. You should, among other things, have an Innovation Lab or even better have an Innovation Culture permeate the entire organization. You should be willing to invest in and experiment with state-of-the-art technology.

Leadership capabilities include the ability to create a vision to shape the future, governance, and engagement to steer the course and relationships to implement technology-based change throughout the organization. You should be able to decide when to allow niche projects and when to demand wide-spread rollout. You should always strive to balance efficiency and experimentation.
