ABSTRACT
Business is, as usual, leading the way in spectacular fashion, sometimes publicly, sometimes quietly, but always unflinchingly. Multinational giants weaving digital threads into their supply chains, their business models, and into their future profitability. The rise of the machine at the expense of humanity remains nothing but a utopian fallacy. The appeal of the low hanging fruit is tampered by concerns for interoperability. Adopting digitalizing solutions willy-nilly, without regard to the bigger picture of the organization’s strategic objectives, carries the risk of saddling the organization with a plethora of technological orphans incapable of being integrated into a functioning nodal network. The ONLY thing that matters, in the end, is the human factor. Which means that those who are called to withstand a digital transformation, willing or not, must be able to see what is in it for them in the long run.
