Senior leaders need to be aware of the stakes involved in digital transformation and lead their company in the right direction. They need to be able to identify opportunities throughout their organization, recognize challenges, and set priorities once they commit to transformation initiatives. Along with understanding what it will take to transform from within, they need to understand the marketplace and how their company stacks up against the competition. They also need to absorb best practices, even when they’ve been defined outside their own industry. Finally, leaders have to be able to create a culture that promotes change throughout the company as a whole.
