Topic Background 

In boardrooms and strategy sessions across the globe, "digital transformation" is the buzzword of the decade. Yet, for all the hype around AI, automation, cloud solutions, and cutting-edge tools, there’s a staggering rate of failure. According to McKinsey, over 70% of digital transformation efforts fall short of their objectives. Why? Because transformation isn’t just about adopting technology, it’s about changing people.

The most overlooked truth in the digital era is this: you can’t transform an organization if you haven’t first transformed its people.

Far too often, companies invest in platforms but ignore the mindsets. They implement tools but neglect the culture. They push for productivity without cultivating adaptability. Technology may be the engine, but people are the fuel. If your teams are resistant, disengaged, or stuck in analog thinking, even the most powerful tech stack will stall.

This is where most digital initiatives go wrong. They prioritize speed over understanding, execution over education, and systems over empathy. But real digital transformation requires a fundamental shift not just in how we work, but in how we think, relate, collaborate, and lead.

This session reclaims the human side of digital transformation, because in an age of automation, the most disruptive force isn’t tech; it’s human potential unleashed.
