A leadership framework for digital transformation with author Kamales Lardi

TAKE A LISTEN HERE!

Whatever is happening in the exciting world of technological development, it is being done by, for and to humans, so I immediately loved the title of my guest Kamales Lardi’s book: The Human Side of Digital Business Transformation.

Kamales is a global thought leader in digital transformation who is passionate about shining a light on the human ecosystems at the heart of all things digital. We get into the overwhelming nature of digital transformation and the perennial question of ‘where to start’. With her positive and pragmatic outlook, Kamales highlights the transformative potential of blockchain technology beyond finance, such as providing transparency and traceability in the supply chain, creating identities for undocumented people, and free travel across regions. This is grounded in the importance of businesses embracing ethical practices and strategic thinking to transform their businesses and make a bigger impact. Technology can transform - but we must also transform our leadership.?
