What Is Complexity and Why Digitalization Projects Often Fail Because of It
summary
The talk explains the difference between complexity and mere complicatedness in digital transformation projects and argues that failures usually stem from that confusion rather than technology. It describes concrete practices—clear decision paths, defined responsibilities, structured roadmaps from vision to implementation—and focuses on operational processes, stakeholder management, risk control, and measurable benefits using practical examples.
