Nowadays it is quite common to hear people talk about digital transformation, even organizations think they know how to do it. However, it is worth asking whether organizations are really leading the digital transformation.

After an exhaustive research carried out by 4 experts in Digital Transfromation, it has been possible to establish the differences and similarities between Digital Transformation and IT-Enabled Organizational Transformation. This team was composed by : Roxana Ologeano Taddei, dedicated to teaching Digital Transformation and Information Systems Management at TBS Education; Lauri Wessel, who is professor of Information Management and Digital Transformation at the European University Viadrina in Frankfurt; Abayomi Baiyere, known as a researcher of digital phenomena in management and society, and Jonghyuk Cha, who works as an associate professor of Information Systems at the University of Westminster.

With this research mapped out in process models, business leaders can better understand their transformation and would be able to pick up the right strategy for the benefit of their organization.
