7: IoT: It’s all about the people!

IoT people

Many years ago I learned of a tech company that hired one of the leading global consultancies to evaluate how they were doing. The company is question owned a multi-million euro asset, and the board of directors was quietly confident that the audit would celebrate the strategic value of their core asset, and applaud the brilliance of their senior management.

The consultants came back to present their findings to the board. They found that the company’s most valuable asset was, in fact, the people who worked there. The board of directors didn’t agree and hired a different consultancy to tell them what they wanted to hear. And guess what… it really did not end well.

In sharp contrast to this management folly, it was such a pleasure to speak with two HR leaders who have a genuine and deep appreciation for the value of people, who understand the vital importance of culture, and were kind enough to share their top tips on how people can unlock the incredible opportunities within digital transformation.

Tune into the Siemens Advanta Podcast with Judith Wiese, Chief Human Resources Officer and Member of the Managing Board of Siemens AG, and Diane Moody, the VP of Organizational Development & Culture at DSM, and learn why people matter especially in a cutting-edge tech arena like IoT.

Culture By Design

The failure rates of digital transformations remain high because the human factor is often underestimated.

Digital transformation is not just about technology: It is also, above all, about people. This makes it complex – and therefore requires new approaches to managing change, dealing with fears and new demands on employees, building new leadership styles, fostering trust, empowerment and growth mindset, and successfully unlocking the full potential of IoT!

TUNE IN and learn how to bring people along on your digital transformation journey and how you as a company can be an early adapter to stay relevant and ahead of the crowd!
