When you think positive and outside the box, the sky's the limit.  If you want to digitally transform your organization, you need to teach your people how to learn. Teach them how to stop doing things they were doing before, how to do new things, and how to do things differently for the future. Successful people have the ability to teach others. Find someone who has been successful in what you aspire to do, and learn from them. We need to be human in a digital world. Technology and our new digital world isn’t necessarily a good or bad thing, but we need to learn to navigate through it. Try this exercise: Take a piece of paper and split it into 3 columns. In the 1st column - write what you stop doing. In the 2nd column - write what you do differently. In the 3rd column - write what you’re going to start doing for the first time. In the middle of your paper, write “I want my organization to digitally transform.” Complete this exercise with at least 10 items and you will be on your way to digitally transforming your business! Note: The first 15 people who fully complete the exercise in golden nugget #5 and emails a copy of their exercise to [email protected] will receive a free copy of Michael’s book, The Digital Helix!
