Transformation is not something you do.

It’s an attitude and an approach. We must all create transformational leaders and transformational cultures within our organizations if we are to continue to thrive as the world rapidly changes and evolves.

This is because we believe that we have entered an exciting – and sometimes scary – new era in which the industrial era is giving way to the “Digital Era”. The rules that have governed how we live and operate for the past 150 years are changing in front of us. And no one really knows what will happen next.

We therefore need to create organizations and leaders who are comfortable operating with uncertainty and who can rapidly evolve their operating models to adapt to changing markets and directions. That is a transformational culture. That is transformational leadership.

And that’s our mission:

To help develop the next generation of transformational digital leaders who can transform our organizations for the digital era.

Through our network of Institute Fellows, we explore the impacts on companies and their leaders as we transition from the Industrial to the Digital Era. Based on actual experiences and industry research, we produce a wide range of insightful and thought-provoking content and services. All of which prepares leaders for the Digital Era and guides them in transforming their companies into Digital Enterprises.

Are You READY for Digital Transformation?
Institute for Digital Transformation
October 01, 2020
Too often when we talk about Digital Transformation all we talk about is the latest hardware, software or applications. Yet change is an individual and personal experience. Unfortunately, the people side is totally overlooked and forgotten in almost every change program.

Organizational culture is a misnomer, there is no such thing. Organization culture is just the culmination of the people’s beliefs and behaviors. If you are going to change the Organization's culture to get ready for Transformation, you need to start at the beginning with people’s beliefs and behaviors. But, how do you measure that?

Dr Granito created an analytical model that will objectively measure the “Readiness” of an organization’s ability to change. We refer to this as the Digital Enterprise Readiness Framework. The Framework was developed using data gathered over the past decade while working with companies undergoing change and collected as part of multiple research projects combined with Dr. Granito's doctoral thesis and other academic research.

Digital Transformation Manifesto
Institute for Digital Transformation
June 09, 2022
For the last few years, the term Digital Transformation has become “cool”. Organizations believe they need to have a Digital Transformation, or they will be viewed as out-of-date and lose the competitive edge.

What is Digital Transformation? How do you know if you are really involved in Digital Transformation?

In an effort to eliminate some of the confusion surrounding Digital Transformation, the Fellows of the Institute for Digital Transformation have created the Digital Transformation Manifesto. This document is the first step in a larger effort to involve industry experts in creating a commonly recognized set of tenets that defines Digital Transformation. These tenets are not a “how-to” of Digital Transformation, rather they are a collective of beliefs and guiding principles for an environment that can drive and sustain a transformative organization, supported by technology.

Join us for this live event where the authors discuss the manifest and what they are hoping to accomplish.

Head over to http://www.DTManifesto.com to read the manifesto and add your signatures to the Digital Leaders that have already signed.
