During the COVID-19 pandemic, there are a few common pitfalls that can await companies. Especially those that are planning to handle their large-scale projects on their own, without any outside expertise and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies show that a stupefying 70% of all digital transformations either fail or don\u2019t manage to reach all of their intended goals!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

10 biggest digital transformation mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


1. Doing too much, too fast and expecting unrealistic results<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is the simplest recipe for failure. Remember that even big changes begin with tiny steps, and you cannot do everything at once because you will either burn out or get lost. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Fix: <\/strong>
Start with a limited MVP<\/a> and share any positive results,<\/strong> even small ones, early on. This will serve as an incentive for stakeholders, management, and your employees to keep on transforming, and also allow you to see whether your strategy is good enough or if it needs some adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n



2. Insufficient budgeting and planning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Some companies make huge plans and then jump straight into executing them \u2013 without any detailed budgeting or first checking to see whether their employees possess the necessary knowledge and skills. This is exactly how hidden costs begin to pile up, in the form of unexpected delays, additional required training, new hires, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Fix:<\/strong>
Take your time during the preliminary planning, add buffers to your budget for each part of the project, and always take it one step at a time.<\/strong> Plus, make sure that you have what it takes within your organisation to reach your goals.<\/p>\n\n\n

3. Having no clear roles, goals and expectations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Surprisingly, many organisations know what they want to do but, inevitably, the people who are directly involved will have a different understanding of why they are doing this<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, if no one is really clear about their role within the digital transformation process, they won\u2019t be as engaged as they should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


Fix:<\/strong>
Clearly articulate your expectations, <\/strong>define the goals of the transformation, the reasons behind the process, and set KPIs. Remember that your objectives should be SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound). Also, redefine the roles of your employees, so that they are clear on their position within the transformation process and feel a sense of responsibility for it.<\/p>\n\n\n
