How can we create a digital workplace?

According to Gartner, the greatest source of competitive advantage for 30% of organizations will come from the workforce’s ability to creatively exploit digital technologies. And that’s why a solid digital workplace strategy becomes crucial as digital workplace transformation is key to business success. But what is a digital workplace? Gartner defines a digital workplace as one that enables new, more effective ways of working, raises employee engagement and agility, and exploits consumer-oriented styles and technologies. So, a digital workplace strategy is aimed at building a productive and collaborative workplace through consumerization of workplace technology i.e. bringing together data, apps, information, and collaboration tools into the work environment.

To create a “truly digital workplace”, the digital workplace strategy should align with the business and its digital transformation goals. The leadership must establish a roadmap and blueprint for coordinating digital workplace initiatives. The C-suite must become the driving force in implementing these changes enterprise-wide from the top down. Without the support and involvement of the entire C-suite, such programs can’t thrive.
