In Digital Transformation, Clarity Is Essential But Often Elusive

🤔Needing an Oracle for the Big C (clarity), but they are missing in action when you most need them?
After three decades of leading diverse technology and product teams and guiding organisations through change, there has always been a recurring theme: clarity is necessary in digital transformation, but it's often missing when you need it most.
I've been involved in programs where the technology was sound, the strategy well-documented, and the roadmap looked perfect on paper. Yet the teams responsible for delivering the work remained unsure about the purpose, priorities, and expected outcomes. And when clarity is absent, momentum disappears.
Progress doesn't stall because people resist change. It stalls because people can't see the path forward. I've watched talented teams hesitate simply because they did not understand why now, what success looks like, or how this will affect their daily work.
The irony? Clarity isn't complex. 😎 It requires leaders to pause, communicate, and translate strategy into something meaningful and actionable.
When clarity exists, teams move with confidence; when it doesn't, even the best technology won't save the initiative. 🎉🎉🎉
As you navigate your next phase of transformation, ask yourself:
"Where does my team need clarity today — and am I providing it?"
