34. Co-operation between departments

Which statement best matches your organization?

Break the silos

In conventional organizations, people do not interact well and few take responsibility for the whole. These types of gutter problems are everywhere, but this can be changed! Breaking the silos will allow for a flow society where the individual is in the centre. This will be necessary in order to be fast enough and to deliver the best customer experience. Lisa Lindström’s words below provide an excellent approach.

35. The organization’s digitalization work

Which statement best matches your organization?

No part of the organization works with digitalization to any great extent

The organization is divided into digital and traditional, and the two sides have little to do with each other

The organization is divided into digital and traditional, and a lot of time is spent co-ordinating the operations

The entire organization works towards a common goal with a plan, digital or not, and the digital is a natural part of the operation

To keep in mind regarding digital competence

First we must understand the difference between general and specific digital maturity in the individual. Our approach is to start building general digital maturity among staff members, followed by bringing in a growing number of specialists with specific digital maturity. Secondly, it’s important to create a culture that retains staff members’ digital maturity, i.e. the skills they have gained during the maturity process.
