This McKinsey Podcast talks about digital transformation and why it should remain front and center on the CEO agenda. In this episode of The McKinsey Podcast, Kate Smaje and Rodney Zemmel — global leaders of McKinsey Digital — talk with McKinsey Global Publishing’s Lucia Rahilly about digital transformation: what it really means, how to deliver on it, and why it should be kept on the CEO agenda.
The McKinsey Podcast is cohosted by Roberta Fusaro and Luci Rahilly.
“The point of digital transformation isn’t to become digital. It’s actually to generate value for the business,” says Zemmel. “And having a clear, integrated, top-down road map of where that value is is one of the biggest gaps between companies that get the full value and companies that get something that is just a shadow approximation of the full value.”
Kate Smaje adds why digital transformation should be on the CEO agenda: “Another important part of a successful digital transformation is how you define what “good” really looks like here. Because there isn’t a point in time when digital transformation is done. It’s much more about, “How am I building a real muscle for the organization to continue getting better and better as I go on?”
