Leadership underestimates the importance of culture in digital transformations. A survey of 1,700 employees and executives in 340 organizations found a significant gap between perceptions of leadership and employees regarding their organization's digital culture. While 40% of executives believed their organization had a digital culture, only 27% of employees agreed. The survey also found gaps in perceptions of innovation, collaboration, and vision. Employees reported that initiatives for these aspects of culture were not effectively implemented in practice. The research highlights that successful digital transformations require aligning culture by closing gaps between leadership's plans and employees' experiences.
