Vision and<br />
leadership<br />
If anything was clear from the<br />
research we undertook, it was<br />
that, without a strong vision<br />
and a desire for the senior<br />
leaders of an organisation<br />
to focus ruthlessly (and yes<br />
it needs to be ruthlessly)<br />
on delivering that vision,<br />
transformation progress is at<br />
best slow and painful, at worst<br />
completely non-existent.<br />
<strong>Transformation</strong> is fundamentally a leadership<br />
challenge – get that right and the rest is easy<br />
to achieve, and yet it seems to be lacking in so<br />
many organisations.<br />
The transformation leaders we spoke to felt<br />
there were four primary elements that had to<br />
be in place to deliver successful transformation:<br />
1. The right vision – whether its ambitious<br />
or pragmatic, there has to be a vision of<br />
what digital transformation looks like for<br />
your business.<br />
2. A true commitment to what transformation<br />
actually means.<br />
3. The right digital leaders in place to action it.<br />
4. The right structure to deliver it.<br />
