For the last decade or so, the consultant-thinkfluencer-futurist-guru crowd has been harping on a lot about “Digital Transformation”.
Of course, this meant that the executives actually signing the checks would ask, “What does that mean in practical terms, for my business?”
Then BAM! Along comes Coronavirus and suddenly everyone is working from home, communicating via Skype and Zoom, and within a few weeks, this is the new norm. Who knows, maybe a big proportion of people will stay working that way, once the virus thing does down.
THAT, my friends, is REAL Digital Transformation. It just came along and happened, with or without the guru’s approval or some lofty article in Harvard Business Review.
The moral of the story? That sometimes the experts aren't the ones carrying the ball. That sometimes life just happens, unpredictably and unexpectedly. Good to know for next time.
