The Human Side of Technology: Leading People Through Digital Transformation – PILOT Project Update

Investment in digital transformation is accelerating at a time when employees are reporting change fatigue and burnout. This creates a need for leaders to balance digital progress and innovation with employee engagement. 

 
This presentation will address ways that IRI leaders can effectively lead employees through the speed of today’s technological change, with focus on change management in an agile environment, resistance management and capability building, and reinforcement.  We will review what’s working, and what isn’t, at IRI member organizations, as well as contribute insights on how to scale digital transformation from working with our own Fortune 100 and 500 firms (from non-IRI organizations). As a result, this presentation will provide specific recommendations for how to adopt an agile people-first approach to change management, and recommend best practices leaders can take to cultivate the acceptance and ability needed to guide employees through successful digital transformation across their company.
