The 2 Challenges that SA’s “Culture of Digitalisation” Faces
Image sourced from Harvard Business Review. Technology is only successful if it is used. And today, business leaders in companies around the world need to shift from a tech-centered view of digitalisation and start considering how to nurture a culture that embraces technology wholeheartedly.
