1st Workshop on Challenges and Opportunities in Digital Transformation
The increasing digitalisation of economies indicates the recognition of the critical role of digital transformation in fostering innovation and sustained competitiveness. Driven by emerging technologies, including AI, cloud computing, blockchain, big data analytics, and IoT, digital transformation reshapes organisational operations, service delivery, and customer engagement. Thus, organisations in the private and public sectors have embarked on their digital transformation journey to leverage the various opportunities it presents. However, realising the anticipated benefits of the application and integration of emerging technologies in existing systems and processes remains challenging. Among others, a number of challenges, including legacy systems, integration difficulties, organisational resistance, and skill shortages, have been found to influence digital transformation. This highlights the need for continued interdisciplinary research to further our understanding of digital transformation and its technological, strategic, and human dimensions.
The CODiT workshop aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and industry experts to share insights, examine real-world case studies, and develop actionable strategies to overcome barriers to digital transformation. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to) emerging technology adoption, digital strategies, organisational change and culture, data governance and risk management, data-driven decision-making, and sector-specific applications of digital transformation across public and private organisations in various industries.
