La transformación digital ha irrumpido en el mundo empresarial como una de las fuerzas más disruptivas de los últimos años, no únicamente impulsando la adopción de nuevas tecnologías, sino también redefiniendo la forma en que las organizaciones operan, compiten y ofrecen valor a sus clientes.
Como señala Klaus Schwab (2016) en su obra sobre la cuarta revolución industrial, la digitalización está transformando profundamente los modelos de negocio y las dinámicas del mercado. En este contexto, el liderazgo ágil emerge como un factor crítico para el éxito, especialmente en un entorno donde la velocidad de cambio y la incertidumbre son la norma.
La digitalización va mucho más allá de la implementación de herramientas tecnológicas.
Jaspreet Bindra (2018) define la transformación digital como un cambio holístico centrado en tres pilares:
Estas innovaciones —como la nube, la inteligencia artificial, el análisis de datos, el internet de las cosas (IoT) y la conectividad avanzada, entre otras— permiten a las empresas optimizar su desempeño, mejorar la experiencia del cliente y ganar una ventaja competitiva en mercados cada vez más saturados.
Sin embargo, la verdadera transformación digital solo es posible si se acompaña de una estrategia integral que involucre a todos los niveles de la organización. Como lo evidencian numerosos estudios académicos, el liderazgo ágil prioriza la adaptabilidad, la colaboración y la capacidad de respuesta ante los cambios, siendo fundamental para el éxito de la digitalización (Delioğlu, Uysal, 2020).
El liderazgo ágil se caracteriza por su capacidad para guiar a los equipos en entornos complejos y cambiantes. Los líderes ágiles toman decisiones estratégicas de manera ágil -como su nombre lo dice-, pero también fomentan una cultura de aprendizaje continuo, innovación y colaboración. Su papel es fundamental para garantizar que la organización, desde su capital humano, esté preparada para adoptar nuevas tecnologías y adaptarse a las demandas del mercado.
Entre las principales responsabilidades del liderazgo ágil en la transformación digital destacan:
La flexibilidad estratégica, en tanto que permite una adaptación más rápida y eficiente se logra a través de la capacidad de los líderes de anticipar tendencias, ajustar objetivos y tomar decisiones basadas en datos y en una visión clara del entorno. Esto permite a las organizaciones, especialmente a las pequeñas y medianas empresas (PYMES), superar las limitaciones de recursos y competir en igualdad de condiciones con organizaciones más grandes.
Además, el liderazgo ágil fomenta una cultura centrada en el cliente, donde cada miembro del equipo comprende el valor que aporta su trabajo y cómo contribuye a la satisfacción del cliente. Esta orientación, como señala Denning (2018), es clave para garantizar la sostenibilidad y el crecimiento a largo plazo.
Aunque la transformación digital se asocie frecuentemente con el componente tecnológico, el factor humano sigue siendo un elemento que define el éxito o el fracaso de los proyectos de transformación.
La transformación digital, además, no es un proceso lineal ni estático. Requiere líderes capaces de inspirar, guiar y empoderar a sus equipos en un entorno de constante cambio. El liderazgo ágil es, por tanto, el motor que impulsa la innovación, la adaptabilidad y el éxito en la era digital.
Como coach ejecutivo certificado especializada en liderazgo ágil y transformación digital, mi misión es acompañar a las organizaciones en este viaje, ayudándolas a desarrollar las competencias y la mentalidad necesarias para liderar con agilidad, consciencia y visión estratégica en la nueva economía digital, sin desconectarnos de nosotros mismos ni de los demás en el proceso.

In today’s organisations, the language of transformation is everywhere: people talk about empathetic leadership, cultures of innovation, wellbeing, and inclusion. But that transformation does not materialise meaningfully, consistently, and sustainably in many cases beyond the formal discourse.
In other words, there is talk of transformation. Still, things remain the same in practice or change very little: turnover remains high, energy is drained in endless meetings, innovation stalls, and distrust is masked by polite conversation.
Why does this happen? Organisations, like people, have an unconscious—a collective life that operates beneath the surface of formal declarations.
The organisational unconscious is the invisible territory where unspoken loyalties, silent pacts, shared fears, implicit prohibitions, and repressed emotions reside. It shapes, often unknowingly, workplace culture and decision-making.
It is not abstract; it becomes evident when, for example:
1. Division: The organisation symbolically splits to survive: us vs. them, field vs. corporate, the “good ones” vs. the “problematic ones.” People don’t see themselves as part of a whole but as fragmented groups. This prevents meaningful dialogue and integration.
2. Invisible Loyalties: People unknowingly stay loyal to past leaders, outdated leadership styles, or protective silences. What once worked no longer applies. Change is perceived as emotional betrayal rather than evolution, which increases resistance and rigidity.
3. Institutional Taboos: Off-limits topics include power, inequality, privilege, mistakes, and favouritism. Silence becomes a defence mechanism. But what goes unspoken tends to manifest elsewhere, usually not in helpful ways.
4. Empty Rituals: Meetings without purpose, disconnected recognition, processes that continue out of inertia. These repetitive actions soothe the system but block true renewal.
5. Exclusion: Hidden narratives of exclusion, misunderstood meritocracy, or fear of losing privilege.
The Leadership That Doesn’t Inspire Change: A new CEO brings transformational energy. There is initial enthusiasm, but the system doesn’t respond. The team remains emotionally attached to the former leader. Unspoken loyalties are in control.
Innovation Blocked by Fear: A campaign is launched to “embrace failure,” but subtle punishment follows when the first project fails. The implicit message is stronger than the declared one. Motivation and initiative fade.
Wellbeing Masking Exhaustion: Organisations offer mindfulness breaks and self-care talks while demanding 24/7 availability. Burnout only intensifies.
There are countless examples. But ultimately, a mismanaged organisational unconscious affects key business outcomes: productivity, retention, engagement, integration, innovation, and adaptability.
1. Unconventional Diagnosis: Listen to What Is Not Being Said
Goal: Name the unnameable. Make the invisible visible.
Recommended tools:
2. Decoding Invisible Loyalties and Their Consequences
Every human group has implicit loyalties to founders, past crises, leadership styles, and working methods. These loyalties may be misaligned with current goals.
Strategic actions:
3. Turning the Unconscious Into a Catalyst: Organisational Reframing
Goal: Use the weight of the unconscious as cultural fuel, not resistance.
Practical strategies:
4. Develop Systemic Awareness in Leadership
Without realising it, leaders are often the leading carriers of the organisational unconscious. When leadership evolves consciously, it creates space for the unsaid to be heard, generating trust and turning contradiction into learning.
Action plan:
5. Measure the Intangible to Influence the Tangible
While the unconscious may seem “soft,” managing it can drive concrete results. Key success indicators include:
Ignoring the organisational unconscious means letting it lead from the shadows. Leading it doesn’t mean eliminating it, but making it conscious and channelling its power into transformation. The most evolved organisations are not those without tension but those that know how to navigate their contradictions with emotional intelligence, purpose, and shared vision.
Behind every act of resistance or tension, there is a story that needs to be told and a conversation that needs to happen.

Digital accessibility stands as a fundamental pillar for business success and social equity. It's not just about meeting legal or technical standards; it represents a strategic opportunity for leaders and decision makers to reinforce social responsibility, diversity, and inclusion within their organizations.
Digital accessibility refers to the ability of individuals, regardless of their abilities, to efficiently use and access digital technology with a reasonable amount of time and effort. This encompasses everything from websites and mobile applications to devices and online platforms, as well as all products and services accessed through them.
1. Inclusion and Diversity:
Digital inclusion fosters an environment conducive to diversity, resulting in a more diverse workforce and a broader customer base.
2. Regulatory Compliance and Legal Aspects:
Beyond ethical and social reasons, with increasingly stringent regulations worldwide, ensuring digital accessibility is becoming essential to avoid legal risks and penalties.
3. Innovation and Competitiveness:
Leaders and companies prioritizing digital accessibility in their initiatives can gain competitive advantages by attracting a broader talent pool and market, fostering innovation in their products and services.
4. Reputation and Social Responsibility:
Demonstrating a commitment to digital accessibility not only enhances a company's reputation but also showcases its corporate social responsibility and commitment to people.
1. Integration from the Start:
Incorporating accessibility from the design and development phase of any digital product or service is crucial to ensure its effectiveness.
2. Education and Awareness:
Building an organizational culture supporting diversity and inclusion and educating teams about the importance and benefits of digital accessibility are essential for effective implementation.
3. Use of Technology and Specialized Tools:
Numerous tools and technologies are available to evaluate and improve the accessibility of digital products.
4. Strategy and Commitment:
The success of digital accessibility depends significantly on it being a cross-cutting strategy within the organization and not isolated initiatives, coupled with a genuine commitment to accessibility and digital inclusion.
