Why Digital Transformation Struggles (And It’s Not What You Think)

from The WiAR Room - Women in Analyst Relations Podcast · host Elena Georgieva

Digital transformation isn’t failing because of technology.In fact, most organisations already have the tools, platforms, and budgets in place. So why do so many transformation efforts stall, lose momentum, or quietly fade away?In this episode, we explore the uncomfortable, but liberating, truth: digital transformation is rarely a tech problem. It’s a clarity, alignment, and support problem.We talk about:- Why “legacy systems” are often used as a convenient explanation- The hidden pressure leaders face when driving transformation- The gap between strategy decks and operational reality- Why capability and support matter more than new platforms- What actually moves transformation forward sustainablyThis is not about blaming executives. Most leaders are navigating complexity without the structure, language, or backing they need.If you're a CEO, CIO, transformation leader, or advisor trying to move from ambition to execution, this conversation will challenge assumptions and offer a more human, practical way forward.Digital transformation isn’t about installing technology.It’s about enabling people to lead through change.
