Abstract:
Innovation is a pervasive term that has characterized commerce and governments since the renaissance. The advent of the latest round of information technology has been problematic and has cost governments time and money in too many failed attempts to improve the quality of life of citizens and the economy. This presentation examines some of the main causes of digital transformation failure and how the application of existing practices can address them.
