To harness the potential of new technologies, we must ensure their adoption is guided by a well-defined digital transformation strategy, says Tony van der Linden, CIO of software solutions at BBD.

Visit our press officeIn today’s rapidly evolving business landscape, technology stands as the cornerstone of digital transformation. As chief information officers , we are witnessing an unprecedented acceleration in the deployment of new-age technologies such as AI, machine learning, cloud computing and IOT.

Yet, the rush to adopt these technologies can sometimes lead to a fragmented approach, where new tools and systems are implemented without a clear, cohesive strategy. This can result in a patchwork of solutions that, while individually effective, may not integrate well with each other or align with the organisation’s broader goals. It is our responsibility to ensure that the excitement around these technologies does not lead to strategic drift.

Cross-functional collaboration: By breaking down silos within the organisation, Microsoft ensured that different teams could collaborate more effectively, fostering innovation and agility. Another contributing factor was that the company’s digital initiatives were often fragmented, lacking the necessary cohesion with the main business strategy. Instead of integrating digital technology into its core operations, Kodak pursued parallel paths that did not support each other.
