New technologies have changed the habits of a society that seems to have quickly become accustomed to advances that are becoming more and more advanced every day. Advances that have also transformed the business world with technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and Virtual Reality, to name just a few.
Digital transformation can therefore be defined as the incorporation of new technologies into the company in order to improve productivity, reduce costs, define job seekers data customer-focused strategies, innovate, etc.
The impact of digital transformation on companies brings with it countless advantages, including improved customer relations, process automation, identification of new business opportunities, and improved competitiveness. That is why more and more companies are joining a transformation that has captivated managers and employees alike.
What are the keys to achieving a successful digital transformation?
Firm commitment from managers and employees. As expected, digital transformation implies a change of mentality on the part of the company's management. A change that affects all the people who are part of the company and without whose commitment it will be impossible to achieve success. Workers are a fundamental piece, their commitment must be firm, something that will be easily achieved if the benefits that digital transformation will bring not only to their work life, but also to their personal life, are clearly explained.
Research into the working environment and support for training. Before providing workers with tools, it is important to have a real idea of the extent of their knowledge, training needs and the need to carry out retraining. It is of little use to provide workers with tools if they do not know how to use them or if they do so inadequately, since in this way the desired objective will not be achieved, that is, to get the most out of tools that were designed to simplify work.
Flexible working hours and teleworking. It is impossible to conceive of digital transformation without teleworking and flexible working hours. While it is true that during the pandemic, many companies had to get used to working remotely when in some sectors it was unheard of, the truth is that, although at first it might seem that the effect achieved would be the opposite, more satisfied and united staff have been achieved, which translates into greater productivity. So, why continue going to the office every day when things work perfectly well working from home.
