Digital Transformation – Ahmad Kamal Janjua

/in /by

After three decades of working in different industries all over the world, I have seen

firsthand how powerful digital technology can be. It is not just a fancy term—it is the

real deal for growing a business, coming up with new ideas, and staying ahead of the

game. If one is not keeping up, one is going to get left behind.

Consider the following

Technology can be utilized to eliminate boring, repetitive tasks. I have seen this in

manufacturing, where digital twins can be used to ensure everything is running

smoothly. This saves a significant amount of time and ensures the final product is of

high quality.

Secondly, digital tools help us understand our customers better. For example, a store

can send a coupon for something they know a customer will love or a special deal

tailored to that customer. The goal is to make the experience better so customers keep

coming back.

Let us be honest- The world moves fast, and digital technology aids us to move with it.

In finance, for instance, new products and services can be launched quickly due to the

right digital platforms being in place. That way, we can stay ahead of the competition.

When one utilizes cutting-edge technology like artificial intelligence, block chain, or the

Internet of Things, one is not just playing catch-up—one is inventing new ways to do

business and finding new ways to generate revenue.

To make this happen, one needs the right people with the right skills. There are two

main requirements:

  1. Technical skills: One needs individuals who are knowledgeable about data analysis,

cloud computing, and cybersecurity.

  1. People skills: However, it is not all about the code. One also needs individuals who are

creative, can solve problems, and work well with others. The best leaders are those who

can get everyone excited about trying new things.

To get started, consider the following steps:

  1. Develop a plan. One needs a clear vision for what one wants to achieve. Figure out

where one is now and where one wants to go.

  1. Train the team. Provide employees with the tools and training they need to succeed in

a digital world. One cannot expect them to figure it out on their own.

  1. Encourage innovation. Create an environment where people feel comfortable

experimenting and even failing. That is how one learns and innovates.4. Monitor progress. One needs to track progress. Is one actually getting better? If not,

what needs to change?

Looking ahead, things are only going to get more interesting. We are seeing significant

changes with technologies like:

  1. Artificial Intelligence: It is going to automate even more tasks and help predict what

customers want.

  1. Block Chain: This technology is about making things more secure and transparent,

which can open up new doors for business.

  1. The Internet of Things (IoT): Think of all devices talking to each other. This is going

to provide a vast amount of new data to work with and help create even better products

and services.

In conclusion, embracing this digital shift is not just a good idea—it is a requirement for

any business that wants to grow and stay successful for the long run.
