About this IRC® + IRC4HR® Project
As digital technology makes its way into every aspect of business and society, organizations are challenged to transform their operating and business models to stay competitive – or just to survive. Despite the exploding literature on the subject, and the mushrooming of advisory services that promise solutions, questions remain on how to best define digital transformation, how to navigate the digital transformation process, and who should spearhead the transformational efforts. There is broad consensus, however, that successful digital transformation requires a multifaceted systemic effort that fundamentally challenges the managerial routines of the 21st century organization.
This study explores, through deep-dive interviews, how senior executives from functions that are relevant in the digital transformation process perceive the related leadership and organizational challenges (with special emphasis on cross-boundary collaboration).
