When we talk about technology people tend to forget that its main value is to serve people and make everyday business easier and faster. To be able to use technology that is developing rapidly, it is necessary to change the mindset of the people we work with: our internal team, but also our customers.
‘Getting technology right is the easy piece, its only 30% of job. Getting change management right is 70% of the task with digital transformation.’
