10 suggestions for successful digital transformation # 5 Invest in your employees

The digital competence of employee’s and the development of a digital corporate culture is just as important as the discussion about new IT technologies. Both factors are critical for digital transformation to be successful. The changing world of work is making radical new demands concerning employees' skills. Above all that means

  • competence in dealing with digital media

  • the development of well-founded IT skills

  • competence in methodology and problem-solving

  • the ability to learn to do new tasks and

  • a readiness for lifelong learning.

Digital collaboration tools and document management systems are important building blocks for developing skills. They encourage networked collaboration and ensure that information and training materials are available to everyone. An information policy that is this transparent promotes a common culture for understanding digital transformation and its challenges. If you want to be successful with digital transformation, you thus need to be prepared to go down new paths: Change the way you think and learn. 

And by using digital technologies you are not just supporting your own employees. Microsoft uses digital platforms such as the Microsoft Education Cloud to share its own digital transformation know-how with its partners.
