Debunking Operating Model Transformation Myths

TomorrowZone Catalyst | Hosted by Deb Reuben | Episode 5 | May 2024

About this episode

Most organizations approach digital transformation the wrong way — they focus on technology and assume the rest will follow. Jen joins Deb Reuben, CEO of TomorrowZone, to challenge that assumption. They dig into the myths that derail transformation efforts and make the case for why the human side of change isn't a soft concern — it's the whole game. Jen also brings a perspective you don't hear often: why constrained, regulated environments are actually where the most interesting transformation work happens.

What they covered:

• The most common myths leaders believe about digital transformation

• Why technology investment alone doesn't move the needle

• How to address the human and cultural elements that actually determine success

• What innovation looks like inside heavily regulated industries

• How strategic partnerships accelerate transformation outcomes

From Jen:

• "I don't think there's much of a challenge when it's the Wild West. I really like figuring out how you're going to be innovative inside a box."
