What line of work are you in?

Digital transformation.

Ah, interesting. What does it mean ?

Digital transformation is the profound transformation of business and organizational activities, processes, competencies and models to fully leverage the changes and opportunities of a mix of digital technologies and their accelerating impact across society in a strategic and prioritized way, with present and future shifts in mind.

Nice, good effort. But you went too far and now we know you're trolling us. Good style.

LOL not intentionally trolling but ironic that a google definition sounds like something that could have been posted in this thread pages earlier.

‘Socialising/socialised’ as in ‘this information has been socialised’.

Bit right through the skin on my clenched fist with that one...

The work or the talking about the work?

Leading the businesses through change in terms of culture, organisation structure and use of technology. Over the past decade I’ve worked with mostly large, global retailers to make them errrr on-line. Putting in end to end warehouse/order management systems, supply chain etc. All large brands you’d recognise who now mostly do business online but with a heavy emphasis on timely fulfilment e.g fast food. Now working with the government to redesign how we deliver public services. I developed my career through the dot com boom as a technology specialist but moved into change management about 10 years ago.

Just to point out that S/M/L/XL are different sizes depending on which shop you go to...something that's an S in Tesco is L in M&S and XXL in River island

So it’s a good analogy. Size estimates in different teams will not be the same. And it doesn’t matter.

Digital transformation is the modern way of saying “we’ve got new computer systems”.

I utterly despise the term and I’ve worked in the sector for 15 years.

Or even just O&M in the 21st Century.

My wife is VP of digital transformation for a FTSE250 company. She has explained it to me countless tones and it still leaves me confused! I’m think I just need to stick to selling weapons to 3rd world countries - it’s much more simple!

I believe the English translation is “sticking stuff on computers”.

Yep my employers now have all this nonsense.

Since its introduction within the development team (of which I am not a part), the main change seems to be that nothing gets done but there are lots of meetings about things that are supposed to be getting done, but don't.

Exactly the same thing happened with firm I worked for that introduced a Waterfall methodology when they had no formal project management before. Things do get worse before they get better because there is a tendency in the early stages to concentrate on the methodology rather than the project. irrespective of the merits or otherwise of the methodology itself.
Rather like a driver being introduced to a system such as IPSGA, at first your driving goes to pieces and it seems easier to forget the system and 'just drive'. Once you are used to it, the new method becomes 'just driving' and then you can decide whether it works for you or not.

But we already have the word "Schedule" for that purpose.
