A recent study by McKinsey shows that 70% of all Digital Transformation Projects end in failure.
They either exceed budget, fail to meet their basic goals, drag on continually, or worst case there will be a combination of all these hitches before the entire programme is brought to a premature end.
At a glance, you might assume it’s just poor planning and a culture of resistance to change that hinders digital transformation. But even some of the biggest, most visionary and successful companies have witnessed embarrassing transformation failures that had many common failings.
Join us for an engaging and lively panel discussion with Codurance + guests as we unpack some of the common digital transformation pitfalls and crucially, how to avoid them.
