The core essence of transformation requires more than simply replacing outdated technologies with new ones, amassing vast amounts of data, assembling a legion of data scientists, or attempting to emulate the strategies of digital natives. Instead, digital transformation is fundamentally about evolving into an organization whose pivotal decisions, actions, and processes are shaped by insights derived from data and connected digitally. Simply put, true transformation occurs when there is a successful shift in the behaviors and practices within an organization to support implementation of new technologies that allow procurement to be a strategic center.
