Executive Summary 

The phrase “digital transformation” often evokes skepticism. That’s because digital transformation strategies can be interpreted as vague and are often misunderstood. For many executives, one of their biggest organizational challenges is lack of a clearly defined digital transformation strategy.

Yet the turbulence of Covid-19 has only increased the need for digital transformation. A recent HBR-AS survey of 522 business executives found that 95% say digital transformation has grown in importance over the past 12 months, and 90% say Covid-19 has accelerated their transformation efforts. Still, only 58% say their transformation strategies have been effective.

On September 21, in a live, interactive HBR-AS video webinar, Alex Clemente will share the results of this recent survey about digital transformation in a post-Covid-19 world.

He will then lead a discussion with Michael Walker of Red Hat and Melissa Swift of Mercer on the impact of Covid-19 on digital transformation. The panelists will share their perspectives on these survey results and will discuss:

• Why Covid-19 has exacerbated lingering transformation challenges
• How to gauge the impact of the pandemic on digital transformation projects
• How companies can learn transformation lessons and turn them into updated strategies
• Why building a collaborative culture is more important than ever in enabling digital transformation

The pandemic’s disruption will leave a lasting impact, but leaders must embrace new ideas to adapt to future transformation challenges.

For insights on how your organization can modernize its digital transformation strategy to accelerate transformation, join Red Hat’s Michael Walker, Mercer’s Melissa Swift, and HBR-AS’s Alex Clemente on September 21 for Accelerating Transformation for a Post-Covid-19 World.
