It’s the age of the digital transformation. Companies are transforming their processes, delivery models, and overall approaches to business in an effort to adapt to constant change. Technology capabilities are integral to every organization’s success—agnostic of region, industry, or size.
How to build flexibility and adaptability
By: Emily Carr, Margot Dileno, and Elise Vu
According to an independent Deloitte study in collaboration with MIT-Sloan, 87 percent of surveyed business leaders believe that technology will disrupt their industry. This statistic shows that organizations at large are aware they need to equip themselves with the technological skills to advance but leaves room to contemplate the readiness of individuals.
The Deloitte and MIT-Sloan study also found that 91 percent of responding companies do not believe their talent can compete in the digital workplace. So how do you prove the cynics wrong and make yourself a valuable part of the 21st-century workforce? In the first part of this series, “How to stay relevant in a digital world,” we will outline how you can build flexibility and adaptability in order to get and stay ahead as you move along on your own digital transformation journey.
Getting started:
- Switch it up. Routine can stifle creativity and hinder your ability to alter your thinking process. Trying a new route to work, listening to a new podcast, approaching problems at different times of the day, and participating in conversations you normally wouldn’t take part in are all small tweaks that can make a big impact.
- Be open to differing opinions. If you’re typically a reactive person, work on becoming proactive and anticipating responses or ideas that may not align with your thinking. Put yourself in others’ shoes to understand their experiences (both personal and professional), build empathy, and enable a more open mind. Practice this through brainstorming sessions with colleagues who offer diversity of thought through different experiences and backgrounds.
- Don’t get caught up in the uncertainty of the future; make changes day by day. This will help you incrementally manage ambiguity and unknowns as your environment continues to change. Technology is moving at a faster rate than we are able to keep up with, so focus on how you can improve yourself and your skills on a daily basis.

Thanks for helping me to gain new suggestions about computer systems. I also have belief that certain of the best ways to maintain your notebook computer in leading condition has been a hard plastic-type material case, or maybe shell, that fits over the top of the computer. These types of protective gear tend to be model targeted since they are manufactured to fit perfectly across the natural housing. You can buy them directly from the seller, or through third party sources if they are readily available for your laptop computer, however don’t assume all laptop will have a shell on the market. All over again, thanks for your recommendations.

Yet another thing I would like to express is that rather than trying to accommodate all your online degree classes on days and nights that you finish work (considering that people are exhausted when they get home), try to arrange most of your instructional classes on the saturdays and sundays and only a couple courses for weekdays, even if it means taking some time off your end of the week. This is beneficial because on the weekends, you will be much more rested along with concentrated with school work. Thanks for the different points I have mastered from your web site.
