On the 10th of October, the 2nd Inspiring Session of Ordina took place. There was a lot to talk about during this hybrid event about the subject: 'A Digital World'. Dennis Kaltofen kicked-off the session with the statement that the only constant that we have is change, especially in an accelerating digital world. The speed of change within an organization is captured and discussed in a model that constitutes of 4 building blocks: purpose or sensemaking (why), mastery (how), role model (who), and embedment (what next). These building blocks are key aspects to understand, initiate, enable, and reinforce change.
Next, Karin Van Hoecke talked about her experiences at KBC. What most sticked with me were the three pillars that are crucial for a succesful Digital Transformation: Process, Organization, and Cultural Change. The in-depth analysis provided interesting insights in the need to address all three to drive organizational change.
The session was concluded by an inspiring quote by Barbara de Koning Gans who said: "You win, or you learn", which is a powerful mindset principle to turn the negative associations of 'losing' or 'failing' into something positive that allow people to be assertive, take action, and learn from their experiences towards the future.
All in all, a great session that made me think about the increasingly important role of IT, Ordina and myself as #changemakers in the changing environment of the Digital World.
