Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the importance of the cultural, technological, and business drivers for industrial digital transformation. We learned about the history of such large-scale industrial transformations to understand how to identify and select transformation initiatives going forward. Part one of this book will go further into the details of these topics and part two will show detailed examples of industrial digital transformations at work.
In the next chapter, we will explore the capabilities necessary to enable successful digital transformations. A digital transformation simply cannot be accomplished with existing staff with existing skills in the existing culture. We will discuss how to create the right culture for transformation as well as the skills required. We will discuss the rise of the chief digital officer and their role in implementing a digital transformation.
