Every business leader talks about digital transformation, but what does it really mean in practice? Episode 1 of The Legacy Room dives into the layers of this transformation, moving beyond buzzwords to real applications in human capital and operations.
Digital Is Not Just Technology
Digital transformation is not about adopting the latest tools. It is about rethinking business models, workflows, and customer journeys. For example, banks in India that once relied heavily on physical branches now operate almost entirely through digital-first ecosystems. This shift is as much cultural as it is technological.
Human Capital at the Core
Technology alone cannot guarantee transformation. Employees must be trained, systems must be aligned, and leaders must set the vision. A Deloitte report found that 70% of digital transformation efforts fail because companies focus too much on technology and too little on people.
Integration Across Functions
Digital transformation touches every corporate function—finance, operations, marketing, tax, consulting, and ESG. In Episode 1, we explore how automation in service industries shows the ripple effect: what starts as process optimization often leads to business model reinvention.
The Transformation Mindset
The leaders who succeed are those who approach digital change as an ongoing journey rather than a one-time project. Transformation requires flexibility, resilience, and continuous investment in people.
