“Digital transformation fails when it’s owned by IT instead of leadership.”

Most organizations still make the same mistake.

They call the IT team.

They buy software.

They announce “digital transformation”.

And then… nothing changes.

Because digital transformation is not an IT project.

It’s a business redesign exercise.

– IT implements systems

– Leadership redesigns processes

– Finance ensures controls, ROI, and sustainability

– Culture determines adoption

When transformation is treated as a tech upgrade, it delivers automation.

When it’s treated as a leadership agenda, it delivers competitiveness.

The companies that win don’t ask:

“Which software should we buy?”

They ask:

“How should this business operate in a digital-first world?”

That’s the difference between digitization and transformation.

If your ERP, CRM, or AI initiative doesn’t change decision-making, accountability, or speed — it’s not transformation. It’s just expense.
