The rather sobering response to this question is because many leaders are making it more difficult than it should be. We know from countless surveys and studies that a high percentage of digital transformation projects stall or fail. Rialto Consultancy reckons one of the main reasons for this is because there has been too much emphasis placed on the ‘digital’ rather than ‘transformation’.
Most leaders in non-tech companies are probably more familiar with transformation projects than digital ones. This has led many of them to focus on the digital strategy and assume the transformation part will follow. But this approach is never going to result in a successful evolution.
This view is backed up by a study from Capita which reveals the folly of too much emphasis on technology. In The Case for Workforce-led Transformation whitepaper, more than 200 HR leaders at companies employing more than 100 people reported that their organisations have primarily focused on technology within their digital transformation programmes in terms of resource, investment and time. Only one third felt that culture and people had been a key focus.
Time to change
It’s time for leaders to change the narrative on digital transformation and put culture and people ahead of technology. They need to create the right culture for transformation – as they would in any change project – and ensure their people are integrated in the process and understand the mission.
Digital transformation represents one of the biggest and deepest change programmes that some organisations have ever faced and it can’t be under-estimated. In many instances, it touches every part of a every business so, of course, is going to bring a significant number of challenges. Organisations must learn from others and stop repeating the mistake of placing technology before people.
Problems also seem to be rooted in the silo-based mentality that has existed in too many companies for too long. The far-reaching nature that digital transformation brings exposes the risks of departments and a lack of joined-up thinking within firms.
Ultimately, there is only one direction in which to look to address the failings of digital transformation programmes: the top. Leaders need to recognise there is only a limited window of time left and complex, digital transformation should be approached like any other major change programme. They must ensure that skills, culture and talent not only is moved to the top of the corporate agenda, but that they remain there throughout the digital journey and beyond.
Even without the latest developments at Parliament, UK business leaders have a lot on their mind at the moment. Indeed, Brexit is just one of many preoccupations as we prepare to confront the challenges of the digital age along with several other factors impacting the business landscape that are largely beyond our control.
While we can’t legislate against every threat to the business, ensuring you have the right skills, culture and leadership in place will help to protect and prepare the company for what might happen in the coming months and years.
Myers-Briggs Company, which many readers will know from its 80-year pedigree in assessment and psychological expertise, has released a global trends report, People First for Organisational Fitness, which details how businesses can select the best employees, provide effective leadership and help their people to work together “efficiently and harmoniously” despite the current backdrop.
According to John Hackston, head of thought leadership at the company, the analysis considered the “most pressing” issues companies face today as they seek to build and energise an innovative workforce, ranging from diversity and an “always-on” culture to the impact of AI on job evolution.
To select, engage and retain the best talent, companies are going to have to break some “entrenched paradigms”, Hackston cautions.
It’s no surprise that artificial intelligence is one of the areas featured in the report and while Myers-Briggs’ view is that it will replace “very few” jobs in the near future, it will change just about every job. Almost all jobs, from the CEO down, will see some tasks automated and this means companies will need to help people cope with change and develop new skills and trust in the technology that is being introduced. It warns that those companies which adopt AI but neglect the human element “will have set themselves up for failure”.
As important as the discussion around the AI-driven workforce, jobs and securing the best talent is, there is a bigger one to be had about the leadership required to make all of this happen. And unless leaders can make the required transition, their organisations won’t be able to either.
In common with the view of Rialto Consultancy, Myers-Briggs calls for a new kind of leadership to confront future challenges. The report stresses that “narcissistic” leaders are no longer fit for purpose and the “great man” approach won’t deliver the leadership culture demanded in most organisations today.
Leaders, it points out, must be able to create a culture and system that inspire people around them. But it is concerned that the rapid pace of change may leave existing leaders “stuck” in old approaches: “Just because something was considered a ‘rite of passage’ or got them to their position in the first place, doesn’t mean it is effective moving forward.”
Modern leadership requires fresh ideas, thinking and approaches if it is to embed technologies like AI into the workforce as well as identify the opportunities and threats that the digital age brings. This is precisely why Rialto urges leaders to continually evaluate their skillset, assess how relevant their expertise is in the current market and climate and invest in their development no matter how experienced they are.
Leaders who are particularly susceptible to entrenched habits are those who have been in role for some years and haven’t stepped out of their comfort zone. It is better to proactively confront where skills gaps and shortcomings exist than allow them to be exposed, leaving yourself and the company vulnerable. Tools such as the Rialto Accelerated Leadership Index (RALI) are designed to help leaders benchmark their skills and experience against others based on real-time data.
Acquiring new skills and practices doesn’t mean dispensing with existing ones. Myers-Briggs also warns that AI is propelling younger people into leadership roles without them having developed key interpersonal skills. These will be crucial in building the right cultures and relationships to take organisations forward and senior leaders must ensure that they are imparted to the next generation of up-and-coming leaders.
Employee advocacy and personal branding programmes are a powerful and cost-effective way to help promote or champion an organisation’s brand and boost visibility in the market. It also demonstrates that you’re prepared to invest in their professional and personal development.
An employee advocate will, most likely, already have a certain standing in their community and extensive networks but may lack the necessary digital expertise and mastery of social media to be fully effective in the role.
Despite not being the finished article, these internal assets have the potential to be powerful ambassadors for improving brand recognition. The meaningful content they will ultimately curate on social channels will enable organisations to extend their reach and tap into networks that could open new business opportunities.
It could also provide access to fresh talent and customers as well as enhance market reputation and standing.
1. What to look for in an advocate
These individuals should be willing and highly enthusiastic about the business and capable of generating positive feelings and reactions towards the brand through their actions and behaviours.
They will also have a degree of influence in the sector and be considered thought leaders. Employee advocates typically come from customer-facing roles as they are used to communicating brand messages but need not necessarily be the case.
2. Begin small and set clear objectives
There can be a tendency to get excited about the potential reach of a large-scale employee advocacy programme to broadcast messages and content, but it is better to start small with specific objectives.
Appoint a small band of employee advocates and carefully monitor and track progress of the programme. Determine what it is you want the programme to achieve: for instance, do you want to generate interest in a new product or service?; do you want to attract new talent by alerting them to what a great company you are to work for?; or do you want to generally increase engagement in the brand from existing and new customers? Set targets and goals and measure them as you would for any initiative.
3. Establish guidelines but avoid stifling individual effort
One of the reasons why employee advocacy is potentially so powerful is that it comes from the individual and messages are not rooted in corporate-speak.
Employees must be given scope to be themselves and advocacy programmes should, therefore, be relatively fluid, flexible and reactive in terms of when an individual is expected to share content or tweet messages. Employees do need some guidance about what is expected of them though when it comes to frequency and which channels they should use.
It is also advisable to have some style guides in place to ensure consistency of content. And while trust between the employee and organisation is a key part of an advocacy programme, it is important to ensure the company’s social media policy is clearly understood by all individuals in the programme.
4. Explain what being an advocate means
Clearly communicate what being an employee advocate means to the individual and ensure they are comfortable in their role as an ambassador. Convey how the organisation will help build their personal brand and expand their networks and the potential career benefits this will bring.
Ensure they are aware of how they will be supported in areas like content generation as they may have concerns about it adding to their workload. Making them feel valued and worthy of such investment will help to engage them in the programme and their wider role within the organisation.
5. Make certain there are positive messages to share
Employee advocacy programmes work best when employees naturally have positive messages to broadcast about the brand. Employers with a positive corporate culture, great leadership, innovative products and services and excellent levels of customer service are already providing their advocates with top-quality material to share through word-of-mouth online or offline.

It’s fair to say that it is harder to answer this question than it was five- or certainly 10 years ago.
Time was when leadership development circles could devote a lengthy discussion to subjects such as whether leaders are born or made, the different leadership profiles, how you develop followership and the shift away from hierarchical towards more collaborative leadership.
These are still valid discussion points but there is far less time to contemplate what makes a good leader these days.
The pace of technology, pressures of digital transformation, new business models, increased number of potential sales channels as well as the rise of the always-on, 24-7 consumer, have meant the emphasis is on being reactive and agile and leading through constant change.
Leaders have to be able to adapt and respond, whilst ensuring their organisations have the skills, talent, and infrastructure to go forward. It has placed a premium on skills such as agility, flexibility, resilience, robustness, managing risk, as well as navigating through ambiguity and complexity.
Today’s businesses require a lot from their people. Employees have concerns about their own future with robotic process automation and technologies like artificial intelligence eradicating and changing roles. This means leaders must draw upon strong “soft skills” such as empathy and excellent powers of communication to be able to engage with all the groups in their workforce, motivate them and unite them behind the mission. This will often mean connecting with age-diverse and geographically dispersed – and remote – workforces.
Present day leaders also have to be comfortable with technology in all its many guises whether it is using data analytics in decision-making or embedding automation and robotics in the workforce.
Daily work pressures mean it can be extremely easy to let skill-sets stagnate and not move with the times. But that could prove the biggest folly for both you and your future career and the immediate and long-term business. Any missing or weak areas have far more chance of being exposed than previously because of the scale and pace of change hitting businesses.
The Rialto Consultancy has a long history of equipping leaders with the skills they need not just today but going forward. And using the Rialto Accelerated Leadership Index (RALI) tool, which draws on real-time data about leaders’ current skill-sets, we are able to accurately benchmark leaders against their competitors in their own industries as well as other sectors and pinpoint where leadership development efforts need to be focused.
At a time when leadership is changing radically, individuals must recognise the importance of keeping their skills up-to-date. It’s no coincidence that one of the other characteristics often cited in lists of much-needed leadership skills and characteristics is an ongoing/lifelong desire to learn.
Keeping an open mind to learning new skills will expose you to fresh thinking and new ideas which is another crucial personality trait in the ever-changing business environment.
With UK leaders also uncertain about how Brexit, described as one of the country’s biggest peacetime challenges, will affect them, ongoing change will be our companion for some time yet.
It is impossible to adapt to every change, mitigate every risk and plan for every eventuality. What is possible though is to invest in the kind of leadership development that will give you the broadest skill-set to deal with whatever comes your way as a leader in the immediate, medium and longer term and to turn it to a positive business and personal advantage.
Much like Christmas, Blue Monday seems to come around with alarming frequency. In case it has escaped anyone’s notice, today, 21 January, is the day deemed to be when Brits are at their most miserable because of a range of factors ranging from Christmas debt, the weather, broken New Year’s resolutions and a lack of motivation. Add in the uncertainty surrounding Brexit, and Blue Monday looks to be bigger and bleaker than ever this year.
Blue Monday has become a handy marketing device for restaurants and retailers to lift the gloom with some enticing special offers but the Evening Standard reminds us that it is based on an actual formula devised by psychologist Dr Cliff Arnall. And as depressing as it might be, in an article the newspaper quoted Dr Arnall as saying: “Whether embarking on a new career, meeting new friends, taking up a new hobby or booking a new adventure, January is actually a great time to make those big decisions for the year ahead.”
And he is absolutely right, whatever else is going on, Blue Monday is an excellent prompt to focus on where you are in your career and what you need to do to secure your next position. For those who have been in role for some time, it is easy to remain in your comfort zone. While there’s nothing wrong with this, the unique set of operating conditions in the world today means that when you do decide to move on, it might not be as straightforward as you think.
The leadership skillset is changing as the Fourth Industrial Revolution gathers pace. The speed of technological change, globalisation, political uncertainty and the explosion of social media means leaders must be more agile, flexible, reactive, adaptable as well as collaborative and able to build and manage complex relationships. Leaders must also be digital savvy. Surveys frequently point to a digital gap at leadership level, which means those able to implement digital transformation strategies will be in high demand.
If you haven’t evaluated your skillset for some time, it can be a daunting experience. How do you fare compared to others who might be competing for similar roles? What are the differentiating skills in the new world of business? And how can you acquire the skills needed to compete for leadership roles?
To help leaders assess their current standing in the market, Rialto has developed the Rialto Accelerated Leadership Index (RALI) at RALI Online which is based on insights and trend data gained from more than five years’ extensive global research, backed up by numerous interviews carried out with executives in leading organisations. It will inform you as to how aligned your skillet is to current requirements.
Not everything is in our control over the next 12 months but you can be in charge of your career by ensuring your skills are relevant and up-to-date. And a great way to instigate this is by carrying out an assessment of your standing in the market.
So by all means, cheer yourself up at lunchtime with some of the inviting Blue Monday treats dropping into your inbox, but better still resolve to focus on that all important next career move.

If we really are all technology companies now, as one of the popular business sayings goes, then as forward-thinking leaders we need to be taking notice of the annual tech trends lists which appear towards the end of the year. The analyst Gartner’s list is always keenly awaited by the tech community, but recent years has seen it garner broader business appeal.
Analysts gathered in Orlando, Florida, at the Gartner Symposium/ITExpo to identify the top 10 strategic technology trends for 2019. It defines a strategic technology trend as one with “substantial disruptive potential that is beginning to break out of an emerging state into broader impact and use, or which are rapidly growing trends with a high degree of volatility,” reaching tipping points over the next five years.
Some of the trends are already familiar to business leaders as they have found their way into boardroom discussions, but Gartner’s insight serves to remind us quite how much more there is to come in terms of technological development and how it might impact businesses.
For example, it is no surprise that the distributed ledger technology, blockchain, is on the list, with its potential to “reshape industries” states Gartner. Without doubt it is one technology that all business leaders should take heed. But Gartner points out that current blockchain technologies and concepts are immature, poorly understood and “unproven in mission-critical, at-scale business operations”. It advises organisations to begin evaluating blockchain now even if they don’t adopt the technologies yet.
Many organisations are already introducing greater levels of automation but do leaders truly understand how far these technologies could go? Even if you’ve thought about how robots can improve processes have you considered what part drones or autonomous vehicles could play? Under the heading of “autonomous things”, Gartner describes a future where artificial intelligence is used by such objects to deliver advanced behaviours that interact more naturally with their surrounds and people.
“As autonomous things proliferate, we expect a shift from stand-alone intelligent things to a swarm of collaborative intelligent things, with multiple devices working together, either independently of people or with human input,” says David Cearley, vice president and Gartner fellow. “In the delivery market, the most effective solution may be to use an autonomous vehicle to move packages to the target area. Robots and drones on board the vehicle could then ensure final delivery of the package.”
Also featured on the list is augmented analytics, which uses machine learning to transform how analytics content is developed, shared and consumed. Gartner predicts augmented analytics capabilities that automate the process of data preparation, insight generation and insight visualisation, will eliminate the need for professional data scientists in many situations. According to the analyst, automated insights from augmented analytics will be embedded in enterprise applications for HR, finance, sales, marketing, customer service, and procurement to “optimise the decisions and actions of all employees”.
This will lead to “citizen data science”, reckons Cearley: “An emerging set of capabilities and practices that enables users whose main job is outside the field of statistics and analytics to extract predictive and prescriptive insights from data.”
Gartner predicts that through 2020, the number of citizen data scientists will grow five times faster than the number of expert data scientists. “Organisations can use citizen data scientists to fill the data science and machine learning talent gap caused by the shortage and high cost of data scientists,” adds Cearly.
This is only a snapshot of Gartner’s trends and predictions for next year, but I think most will agree it already provides more than a few hints about how such technologies will continue to bring radical change to how we work and what we do. Leaders must remain firmly in change mode and be prepared to continually adapt as there is only one certainty about the future: more change and disruption is going to come.
Whether you are starting 2019 as a leader contemplating the future of the business or as an individual keen to look for new opportunities, there is much to consider. At the time of writing, we still don’t know the outcome of the House of Commons Brexit vote, on which so much hinges, while the Fourth Industrial Revolution continues apace with technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics weaving their way into the workplace and our lives.
As usual, the beginning of January sees the major consumer electronics event, CES 2019, taking place in Las Vegas where many of tomorrow’s technologies are showcased today. For those leaders still under-estimating the impact of autonomous cars, robots and drones, it is a high-tech wake-up call, clearly demonstrating the number of major players in the world of business that have their futures invested in technology.
South Korean automaker Kia, for instance, is already posting a vision of a “post autonomous” future when driverless cars are the norm, previewing an AI-based vehicle cabin space that can analyse a driver’s emotional state in real-time. It’s all clever stuff. Meanwhile, the latest drone incident at Heathrow Airport this week reminded us of the power of new technologies and how important it is to understand their potential.
AI is predicted to have a huge effect on jobs and the world of business: as well as eradicate roles it will create new ones and change many existing ones. Surveys frequently warn of a lack of digital skills in general in the workplace and they are cited as the most under-represented in the boardroom where it is evident that different roles will be required in the future.
Individuals looking for their next leadership position must, therefore, closely examine their skill set in the context of this rapidly changing world. If you don’t already interact with AI and machine learning in your next role, there is a distinct possibility that you will in the next two years. And this equally applies at executive level, too.
Calling on career planning and transition support services now can help to address immediate skills, expertise and knowledge gaps so an individual feels confident to put themselves forward for a new position. Discussing aspirations and concerns with a skilled advisor can help identify any shortcomings as well as assess which intervention, such as coaching, mentoring or executive development, will best address them. They can also advise on how to build an all-important personal brand that ensures you appear on a headhunter’s radar.
To ensure true career longevity – especially in rapidly changing times – individuals must look longer term on their career horizon at what the prospects and challenges will be.
Career transition experts can help prepare for this by providing long-term market insights and build robust networks that will link you to valuable connections able to open doors. Rialto Consultancy also enables individuals to draw upon its leadership tool, Rialto Accelerated Leadership Index (RALI), which helps individuals benchmark skills with others across similar and different sectors.
In principal, career planning and transition in the digital age isn’t that different from previously. It is still about being proactive, building a strong personal brand, being prepared to learn new skills no matter what stage you are at in your career, and being prepared to listen to what others think. There is a major difference though, the pace of business today means that it needs to be at an accelerated pace and it has to be ongoing if it is to help individuals react and respond to market conditions. By all means, commit to ‘Dryanuary’ (Dry January) and/or ‘Veganuary’ (avoiding dairy and meat for the month) but do yourself an equal amount of good by resolving to safeguard your short- and long-term career prospects.
As we bid farewell to 2018 and look ahead to the next 12 months, it is no surprise to hear that things will only progress more quickly. Leading enterprise robotic process automation (RPA) software company, UiPath, predicts that “everything will be accelerated in 2019”.
The company has newly released its top five predictions from some of its senior leaders. Kulpreet Singh, managing director EMEA, reckons the pace of automation will increase as large-scale RPA implementations advance rapidly in the region. He says they will be “turbo-charged” by the spread of expertise through widely available training programmes, new open marketplaces and the maturation of internal centres-of-excellence.
Singh adds that such implementations will progress more quickly in EMEA region than other parts of the world, especially when it comes to deploying attended software robots in a wide range of settings.
UiPath also forecasts that automation will be “democratised” through global vendor education initiatives and that senior executives will back RPA and it will be easier to gain senior executive sponsorship for automation because its benefits have become so obvious.
While the predictions have far-reaching effects for workplaces and the world of business, they are both positive and indicative of how technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are being embedded into workplaces and work practices. There is still a great deal to be done and those leaders that have distanced themselves from digital transformation programmes must roll up their sleeves and get stuck into what needs to be done to advance their organisations into the digital era.
Surveys will continue to be published and headlines written that warn AI and machine learning will mean loss of jobs and bring major changes that may initially alarm people but we also now know that these technologies will create new roles. It will not be plain-sailing though and not every organisation will get it right first time.
A recent online post I read complained about how an airline’s staff stood by while passengers using the self-service struggled to lift heavy bags and sort boarding passes. As you’d expect, the writer was rightly angered by this and it reinforced their view of the pitfalls of self-service. This was not the fault of the self-service system though but a failure of leadership that the staff didn’t have a mindset to help customers. Not only does it scream of poor customer service but also of badly implemented automation.
So while the pace of technological development means that things will only get faster, it is down to us as leaders to make sure they also get better. Finally, it remains for me to say thank you to everyone who has read and commented on my blogs during 2018 and to wish you all a very happy Christmas and New Year.
It seems that UK leaders still need reminding that people are what makes the difference between success and failure in a digital transformation programme, not technology.
New research published today by Capita Resourcing finds that four-fifths of HR leaders (82 per cent) reckon their workforce needs to improve its skills in order to get the most out of digital transformation. The vast majority (94 per cent) of HR leaders report difficulties accessing the skills their organisation requires to support its transformation objectives, and the research reveals that many of the most significant transformation challenges facing organisations are skills-related.
Significantly, more than one third (36 per cent) of businesses are suffering due to a lack of leadership skills and experience of running change programmes, while 35 per cent are finding it difficult to predict future jobs and skills requirements. Beyond this, 29 per cent are held back by a lack of digital skills among their workforce and 28 per cent are hampered by a lack of access to high quality digital talent.
The white paper based on the research, The Case for Workforce-led Transformation, also reveals that there is still too much emphasis placed on technology. More than 200 HR leaders at companies employing more than 100 people reported that their organisations have primarily focused on technology within their digital transformation programmes, in terms of resource, investment and time. Only one third felt that culture and people have been a key focus in their transformation strategies up until now, and only 35 per cent stated that skills had been prioritised.
“Our research has clearly highlighted that digital transformation is about so much more than just technology,” says Geoff Smith, executive director at Capita Resourcing. “Organisations must start to realise that transformation always needs to be workforce-driven. He adds that HR must protect and establish the right culture and behaviours within the workforce and they must also work closely alongside their counterparts in IT.
This isn’t the first research study to throw light on why organisations find digital transformation so difficult even though it has been on the agenda for several years now. There is no doubt that such transformation represents one of the biggest and deepest change programmes that some organisations have ever faced. In many cases, it touches every part of an organisation so, of course, is going to bring a significant number of challenges. But organisations must learn from others and stop repeating the mistake of placing technology before people. Problems also seem to be rooted in the silo-based mentality that has existed in too many companies for too long. The far-reaching nature that digital transformation brings exposes the risks of departments and a lack of joined-up thinking within firms.
Ultimately, there is only one direction in which to look to address these issues: the top. Once again a lack of leadership is cited as one of the problems but there is only a limited window of time left in which this void can be tolerated and it is already threatening the future of companies. Leaders need to ensure that not only must skills, culture and talent rise to the top of the agenda but that they remain there throughout the digital journey and beyond.
No-one said digital transformation was going to be easy but it seems many organisations are a long way off even beginning to realise the benefits of their initiatives. According to a new report from self-service integration specialist, SnapLogic, two-fifths of organisations are behind schedule with their plans or are yet to start them. More than two-thirds (69 per cent) have had to re-evaluate their digital transformation strategy and, as a result of this, three-fifths (59 per cent) said they would do things differently if they had an opportunity.
Market research company, Vanson Bourne, carried out the survey on 500 IT decision-makers, representing medium- and large businesses with more than 500 employees across the UK and US. Three fifths (58 per cent) admitted that there is a degree of confusion within the organisation around what they are trying to achieve.
This all makes for worrying reading and even more alarming are some of the common roadblocks identified: internal politics (34 per cent); lack of centralised ownership (22 per cent); and a lack of senior management buy-in (17 per cent). More than half (55 per cent) noted that a reliance on legacy technologies and/or a lack of the right technologies within their organisation was holding them back, while one third were stalled by a lack of the right skilled talent, and 31 per cent reported that data silos were causing problems.
Additionally, one fifth of organisations didn’t test or pilot their digital transformation projects before deploying them company-wide, while 21 per cent of IT decision-makers continued to roll out company-wide digital transformation despite unsuccessful pilot programmes in one part of the business.
Gaurav Dhillon, CEO at SnapLogic, described the research as a stark wake-up call to the technology industry that they must do a better job advising, partnering with, and supporting customers in their digital transformation journey “if we are to ever see the reality of a digital-first economy”.
It is not only the technology industry that should be shouldering the responsibility for these failures though and senior leadership should not escape blame. Given the scale and pace of the change, it perhaps isn’t entirely unexpected that internal politics and lack of project ownership are issues but there shouldn’t be a senior leadership team in the land that doesn’t have buy-in to their digital transformation strategy. Indeed, they should be championing and leading such programmes.
No leader should be allowing failed pilots to run out in other parts of the organisation. Aside from the costs this could incur, it risks alienating and demotivating employees. We can only assume that too many leaders are distancing themselves from digital transformation projects and outsourcing responsibility to those below them. This simply isn’t good enough and programmes will continue to fall short of expectations if this situation prevails.
Digital transformation represents a massive opportunity for organisations to be more efficient, more productive, to break into new markets, win new customers and develop new products and services. It also gives leaders an opportunity to shape a brave new business world and make their mark in the Fourth Industrial Revolution. None of the above will happen though unless leaders grasp this opportunity with both hands and get stuck in.
