Digital transformation is a phrase that is misunderstood by many, and yet the thinking behind it is critical to the success of organisations large and small. With the pace of change getting ever faster and a new decade nearly upon us, planning for change is something that everyone should be thinking about.


In this episode of the Digital Download Podcast I talk to Andrew Grill, a futurist and keynote speaker who specialises in the impact of technological change on business. We discuss how digital continues to disrupt all areas of an organisation, how important it is to take personal responsibility for your own understanding, how digital transformation has changed over the last few years, and what to expect to see in 2020.

Here's what is discussed in this episode:







What the four types of digital transformation are
Why digital transformation is important
How effective transformation is led by disruptors
Why culture is critical to change
Why personal involvement in transformation is vital
What role the board plays
How important curiosity is in digital technology
Why security is so important
Whether people are now more open to change than a few years ago
How 'working out loud' develops a culture of change
What role generations play in transformational shifts
Whether technological adoption is obvious or stealthy 
How AI and voice technology are slowly transforming how we work

How to develop your own transformation plan in 2020
