TV and radio revolution is one of the biggest digital revolution in recent times. Media and Information technology sectors are the early adopter and victim of digital transformations. Much has been written about the transformation and proactive gauge into the digital way of doing the operation. In this article we will focus on major roadblock organizations are facing while developing road map to digital transformation i.e. Competency Trap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The competency trap is not only limited to organizations or\nenterprises, it also impact individuals. Enterprise tend to assume that with\npast performances they can continue to derive results and goals in future. If we\ncan take example of companies such as Nokia which were at zenith point of sales\nand perception in late 90\u2019s. Nokia was not able to estimate the adoption of\nAndroid and smart phone technology in manufacturing. In spite of being an\nethical player Nokia become the victim of Digital transformation. Competency\ntrap can be a big barrier in organization mentality towards accepting new way\nof working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When digital journey is being proposed to the stakeholders\nand decision makers, they are reluctant to take any aggressive measures to\nadopt them. Few reasons which exhibit such behaviors includes waiting for\nseamless retirement, priority to operations over innovation, lack of vision, technology\noverlap fear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of competency trap organization start losing practitioners\nwho will drive next gen digital initiatives. Companies such as Uber, Airbnb,\nAmazon, Netflix, and Tesla are already on the path of reaping benefits of early\ndigital adopters. Agile way of working for new business is pushing enterprise to\nmove from waterfall way of working. Competency trap is effecting team\u2019s big\ntime i.e. why idea of forming small teams is gaining popularity. Upskilling of\nvast number of employee has become another challenges for enterprise which are\nservices based. When employees are been told to upskill the same competency\ntrap results in demotivation of number of performers not able to adopt to new\ntechnologies and tools. We have observed top performers in selling on premises infrastructure\nbusiness are struggling to get same business when provided portfolio for Cloud infrastructure.<\/p>\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"2c935cf620b701aabbb7cc90bbf4023c\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\r\n    google_ad_client: \"ca-pub-5554449970657557\",\r\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n<p>Adaptation gap is becoming significant. It is been observed that\ncompanies providing contemporary services to external customers are not able to\nconvince its own employees with internal process and framework. Employees are\nseen complaining about internal tools which enterprise use internally, of not\nbeing up to the mark. On continuing the discussion with employees one can\nconclude that there is lot of gap in employees vision of using tools to what\nthey been locked down to use for by enterprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometime it is better to evaluate absorptive capacity of an\nenterprise. There are constant voices been raised by employee about too much to\nabsorb and no standard communication channel to reduce work overlap or\nduplication. Majority of enterprise end up using multiple commercial software\u2019s\nfor solving similar problem statements. It drastically block the flow of\neffectiveness. Take a case where team is using one configuration management\ntool to achieve tool installation and now suddenly same team member is been\ntold to move to new team using different configuration management tool to achieve\nsame automation. As a resource individual need to get himself\/herself familiar with\nnew tool before any tangible outcome is expected. So enterprises are missing a\npoint here of one centralized architecture team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital Transformation leaders are in demand but not every\nleader will flourish in the role as it need targeted vision keeping &nbsp;the contemporary readiness of organization in\nmind. Many organization is missing the point of importance of practitioners in\ndigital transformation journey. There is a view in market that by flattening\nthe mid-tier hierarchy challenges of competency trap can be mitigated. This\nview is not always true until we have statistics supporting the theory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent time it is quite visible that many big ships have\nmerged small scale organizations to bring competency issue at par. But it is\nalso observed that majority of such mergers results in large scale attrition of\nskill set which was expected to be preserved. As individual also bolster\ncertain mission statement and ethics of enterprise which make them more\ninclined towards respective enterprise then other in the community. In case of\nmerger or acquisition it is been observed ethics\/goals are not same on both\nside of coin which trigger large scale context switch from employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Communication of digital maturity need to be circulated\nacross the organization at regular time interval so employees are always\nupdated about stage of enterprise digital maturity. This process will help in\nbuilding confidence about organization in sight of an employee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retail industry was the big victim of digital wave adopted\nby e-commerce business enterprises. Many retailers are not able to move fast\nenough to bring on digital talent. Retails like Walmart have started bringing\nin competency early such as Digital Marketer, Digital advisory and similar\ncompetency on technology front which help them to accelerate the digital\nmaturity from transformation which matters. And now they are able to reduce the\nadaption gap using competency to advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will an organization ever say they are digitally matured? May\nbe not as digital transformation is always changing from one form to other. The\nonly way to adapt to it for an enterprises is to create a resource management system\nwhich can proactively understand the changing competency dynamics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDigital transformation is not a threat. It is always an\nopportunity.\u201d This may not be true as opportunity for one business is threat to\nthe rival. But yes rival can also ferret out opportunities form the threat and\nadapt quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully enterprise will become people focus to achieve\ndigital transformations.<\/p>\n\n<!-- Quick Adsense WordPress Plugin: http:\/\/quickadsense.com\/ -->\n<div class=\"2c935cf620b701aabbb7cc90bbf4023c\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\r\n    google_ad_client: \"ca-pub-5554449970657557\",\r\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">Around the world digital disruption is quite visible now.
