Know how to sell ideas and support the digital strategy
Conclusion: Organisations are complex and diverse and do not change direction or a business process just because a manager or the Executive think it is a good idea. To sell the idea, managers and staff need insights into the politics, or influence patterns, in the organisation and can align it with a corporate direction, such as the digital (transformation) strategy.
