The term "digital transformation" is an often overused and vague buzzword. No matter what new name we may want to give it, ERP implementations and other technology initiatives as we know it are dead - or at least, they should be.

4 年Organisations should over-invest in OCM ... mmmmmm ... organisations still don't understand the value and benefit of OCM and will still use Tech-focused Project Managers to handle that aspect as well as their own tasks. You may want to listen to this video which answers the question "For companies that focus purely on Project Management, how do you convince them that they should adopt Change Management as well?” ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSZfoxTP5BQ&t=80s
