CEO Today – Business leaders must fail fast to succeed at digital transformation

With fewer than 30% of transformations succeeding, it’s time for business leaders to adopt a fail fast approach to gain the agility needed for successful digital transformation. As explained by Jon Payne, our Manager of Sales Engineering, in this article in CEO Today magazine, businesses mustn’t be afraid to fail, as it will enable them to learn and eventually get things right, however, they must move through these processes quickly. There are two main aspects businesses must implement when adopting this approach. Firstly, they should implement data management tools which enable them to speed up and simplify digital transformation efforts. While secondly, they must cultivate a culture in which it is seen as permissible to make mistakes, as long as they are learnt from, and ensure that this is adopted at every level throughout the organisation.
