Chapter 9: Pitfalls to Avoid in the Digital Transformation Journey

In Chapter 8, Artificial Intelligence in Digital Transformation, we learned about AI, machine learning, and deep learning. We looked at various applications of AI across the public and the private sector. We looked at AI at the edge for specific use cases. Finally, we looked at the organizational changes that often occur as a result of the adoption of AI.

In this chapter, we will learn how to identify when digital transformations are failing and the possible reasons for their failure. We will look at specific examples from the last few decades and evaluate the failure and success of those transformations. Understanding the causes of previous failures will help us to identify situations that could result in project failure in the future, and correct the project's course to improve the chances of success.

In this chapter, we will cover the following main topics:

  • Indicators of failure
  • Failed transformations...
