Effective business leaders understand that digital transformation is holistic. Technology, processes and people are interdependent. Failure to consider one of these brings everything else down.
They recognize that only an ‘open’ approach offers this breadth - one that embraces not just open source software, but also open source principles in the way people work together to solve problems and make decisions. As such, ‘open’ is no longer a conversation reserved for IT. Open is for everyone; a multidisciplinary framework to take your business and your people where they need to go, fast.
So where do you start your open journey? In this briefing, you’ll hear from IDC and Red Hat® open source experts about the three fundamentals of an open digital transformation - technology, process and culture. And how you can adopt these ‘open’ advantages to ensure your digital transformation is anything but generic.
