Dell Technologies stated that successful digital transformation is linked to the success of the company and the happiness of its employees, and that the sustainability of digital transformation is maintained at the intersection of people and technology.

Dell released a report on the results of a study on the interaction between people and technology for digital innovation on the 7th.

According to the report, many organizations recognize the need to digitally transform their workplaces, but the pace of change is so rapid that they struggle to keep pace.

Dell Technologies surveyed 15,000 respondents from over 40 countries around the world, including Korea, to find out how prepared they are for digital change and what obstacles are hindering digital innovation.

More than two-thirds of respondents said their companies underestimate the importance of how they should communicate with employees when planning digital transformation programs.

Research shows that during periods of rapid transition, such as the past two years, companies and their members must take time to recharge, review, and regroup before embarking on new projects or resuming old ones.

64% of all respondents and 72% of domestic respondents said that digital transformation sometimes fails due to ‘internal employees’. He answered.

Fifty-three percent of all respondents, and 57.5% of domestic respondents, expressed concern that they would be left behind in the evolving digital world due to a lack of talent with the right authority and vision to capitalize on opportunities. This suggests that a service-based model could potentially be beneficial for many companies.

The report categorized respondents into four benchmark groups based on their digital readiness through a survey of their attitudes: △Sprint, which is proactive in innovation and leads technological change; △Steady, which is ready to adopt technological changes selected by others; △Slow, which waits, observes, and approaches cautiously; and △Still, which anticipates problems and cannot adopt technological innovation due to risks.

The proportions by group of all respondents were 10%, 43%, 42%, and 5%, respectively, while the proportions by group in our country were 1%, 30%, 58%, and 12%, showing that the proportion of the active 'sprint group' was small, and the proportion of the 'slow group' that waits and observes was the highest.

Kim Kyung-jin, President and CEO of Dell Technologies Korea, said, “To create a better future, we must not forget that the success of a company and the happiness of its employees are intertwined. Through this report, Dell has once again confirmed that the sustainability of digital transformation is maintained at the intersection of people and technology.” He added, “We can make three recommendations for a breakthrough in innovation: first, providing employees with a continuous and safe work experience regardless of location; second, using technology to increase productivity so that they can focus on what they do best. And finally, he emphasized, “We must inspire our employees with a culture of empathy and authentic leadership.”
