An article written by Deloitte talks about how leaders can effectively balance delegation and personal involvement in digital transformation initiatives.
Key takeaways
- A leader’s involvement is important for any digital ambition, no matter the scale. They need to break roadblocks, help others see the bigger picture, and assign full-time ownership.
- As ambitions get more transformational, leader involvement should increase, especially if the organization isn’t ready. Leaders should compel through storytelling, incentives, addressing weaknesses, and creating options.
- Even digitally savvy organizations need leadership on digital strategy, innovation and growth. Leaders should nurture innovation, assess opportunities, and look to the future.
- Leaders need to plan time to drive transformation and stay involved. Digital initiatives are too important to fully delegate.
