Organisations across industries increasingly rely on digital transformation projects to redesign processes, develop new business models and create sustainable competitive advantages. The characteristics that make these projects stand out from more stable project environments are evolving requirements, technological uncertainty, complex stakeholder environments and continuous organisational change. Many digital transformation projects fail to achieve their intended outcomes rather because traditional management approaches are insufficient to address their complexity because of a lack of technological expertise. Digital transformation has therefore become a fundamental management challenge rather than merely a technology initiative.
Drawing on conceptual frameworks, academic research and real-world case examples, Digital Transformation Projects provides a comprehensive perspective on how these complex initiatives can be understood, governed and managed under uncertain and unstable conditions. Instead offering a one-size-fits-all solution, the book develops principles and approaches that enable organisations to design flexible and adaptive management practices.
Written for professionals (managers, project leads, transformation professionals), scholars and graduate students Digital Transformation Projects provides valuable guidance for navigating the complexity of digital transformation and developing the capabilities required for sustainable transformation outcomes.
