Executive sponsors play a key role in the success (or failure) of digital transformations. Taking these essential actions will tip the scales in your favor.
Most companies will face the moment where digital transformation will come to the top of the executive stack of priorities. Typically, one or two executives are selected as the sponsors tasked with putting together the business case and the team to lead the organization into the future.
It is no secret that a high percentage of digital transformations will fail in some aspect. We have all seen the stories of companies that have gone wildly over budget or, worse yet, tanked the business with a failed go-live. Much of the blame can be laid right at the feet of the sponsors.
