Hot Topic: Digitalization

" Digitalization requires strategic planning and implementation through targeted, agile methodology to prevent it from ending in organizational or cost disaster. Only then can companies successfully accelerate into the digital era. "

Digitalization signifies a shift towards digital business models involving completely different business processes and structures enabled by new information and communication technology.

• Digitalization is not a short-term fad, but a key strategic task for top management necessary to secure a company’s future and grow success.
• Digitalization is not an IT-initiative, but a joint effort involving nearly all departments of a company, and sales in particular.
• Though it is by nature a dynamic process, the goals of digitalization must be clearly defined. A road map with agreed-upon, prioritized initiatives is a prerequisite for long-term success.
• Digitalization requires a different style of leadership. Goal-oriented leadership, coaching of autonomous teams, and creation of a technical ecosystem are new challenges for management.

• Digital business models require fundamentally different principles and structures than traditional businesses.

• Digitalization will cause significant, widespread changes for most companies, and its success cannot be left to pure chance.
