Enterprise innovation blocked by skill shortages
Smaller budgets, technical debt and cultural challenges hinder enterprise efforts to innovate.
What are the main obstacles to enterprise innovation?
According to a report by Insight Enterprises, the primary obstacles to enterprise innovation include a lack of technical skills and know-how, budget constraints, technical debt, and cultural disconnects between departments. Interestingly, decision-makers believe that cultural issues are more significant barriers than technological ones.
How does company culture impact digital transformation?
Company culture plays a crucial role in digital transformation. The report indicates that transformation is fundamentally a people problem, and addressing cultural challenges is essential for successful innovation. Companies that can align their technology with a clear digital strategy and foster a supportive culture are more likely to see positive outcomes.
What is the economic impact of modernization delays?
Delays in modernization can lead to significant costs for businesses. For instance, Southwest Airlines faced over $725 million in costs due to an IT outage that disrupted operations. This highlights the importance of timely investment in IT upgrades and maintenance to avoid such financial setbacks.
