Transform your organizational structures, mindsets and culture
TM Forum’s Digital Organizational Transformation (DOT) program focuses on evolving organizational structures, mindsets and culture to meet the demands of next-generation technology and business thinking.
DOT Project Overview
There is widespread acknowledgment among communications service providers (CSPs) that culture is the biggest barrier to transformation, according to recent TM Forum research, but this does not mean it’s an easy problem to address.
The mission of this project is to drive the communications industry to establish a common methodology and framework for talent and cultural transformation through the use of industry agreed best practices. A common methodology will ensure success by having the right people with the right talents and mix of skills in the correct departments.
The project objectives can be broken down as follows:
- Creation of the Digital Organizational Transformation Culture and Skills Guidebook has been developed for organizations looking to facilitate the acceleration of digital transformation, raising awareness of the ‘why’, ‘what’, and the ‘how’ to go about it. We explore key concepts contributing to a sustainable digital transformation and dive into detail on two critical pillars: culture and people.
- Measurement of where an organization is on its cultural maturity journey is key to understanding how to implement a human centred strategy. A key task is to create the cultural maturity levels and model.
Working collaboratively with TM Forum members, and the Digital Organization and Culture Transformation Catalyst team, this collaboration project will include a wide variety of members with the best skills and proven toolsets.
