This document discusses digital transformation trends, common issues organizations face with digital transformation, and best practices for digital transformation. It notes that while 90% of CEOs believe their industry will be digitally disrupted, less than 15% are well-positioned for digital transformation. Common issues organizations face include slow release cycles, high costs, and limited agility. The document provides "don'ts" to avoid, such as unrealistic goals or guarding the status quo, and "do's" to follow, like achieving frequent wins and continuous validation of hypotheses.
