Building Digital-Ready Culture in Traditional Organizations

May 3, 2019 | George Westerman, Deborah L. Soule, Anand Eswaran | Workplace, Teams, & Culture

How can they become more agile and innovative without alienating their best employees or wrecking their best existing practices? This article provides a framework for leaders in any industry. The process begins with understanding four key values of digital culture: impact, speed, openness, and autonomy. It then involves adopting or refining a set of digital-ready practices, grounded in these values.
