Rescuing a Digital Transformation From Failure

Translating Strategy to Execution

Why do only 30% of transformations achieve their goals? Why does nearly a quarter of value loss in these transformations occur during the target-setting stage, even before the 'work' begins?

Drawing from startling statistics by BCG and McKinsey, hosts Jason Adcock and Noel Mookerji are joined in this episode by transformation expert Shane Ohlin, to unravel the critical concerns and considerations of an effective transformation turnaround.
With over thirty years in technology and executive roles, including as CTO at AIA NZ (Insurance) and CIO at Spark (Telecom), Shane has been accountable for steering and rescuing some of Australia and New Zealand's most significant technology projects.
This episode unpacks:

• Common Pitfalls: Why most digital transformations falter, highlighting issues like unclear strategic mandates, shifting stakeholder attitudes, and neglecting the people that have to live through the change.
• Diagnostic Interventions: The optimal time for intervention, along with key metrics and reports that can indicate recovery and progress post-setback.
• Future-Proofing Transformations: Strategies and tips to ensure the long-term success of transformations and aligning them with business objectives amidst changing market trends and regulations.
