00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:03,080
Our research shows 

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:04,760
that one of the six key factors 

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:06,640
that can flip the odds of success 

4
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,160
for digital transformations 

5
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,320
from 30% to 80%

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,880
is deploying and managing high-caliber talent. 

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,800
BCG research reveals that companies

8
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:18,120
that are able to identify 

9
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,720
and deploy the best talent 

10
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,920
for their digital transformation efforts 

11
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,800
are almost 50% more likely to succeed 

12
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,520
in their digital transformations 

13
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,160
than those that do not.

14
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:30,800
In successful transformations,

15
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,080
companies not only appoint top people

16
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:34,720
but also give them central roles, 

17
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,800
clearly indicate that these roles will be career-advancing,

18
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,800
and ensure the right mix of digital expertise 

19
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,520
and general organizational experience on teams. 

20
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:45,600
So what does it take to 

21
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,320
identify, deploy, and manage 

22
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,320
the right talent for the transformation?

23
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,320
Based on our empirical research,

24
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,560
we've developed a set of Yes/No questions

25
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,000
that define all the required actions

26
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,080
and can help you assess 

27
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,440
whether your organization 

28
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,880
can easily deploy and manage such talent.

29
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,480
These required actions are:

30
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,640
Show visible commitment 

31
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:07,680
through resourcing decisions. 

32
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,360
Take an 'open source' approach 

33
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,560
to getting the right talent. 

34
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,720
Ensure effective team composition.

35
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,120
And manage talent dynamically 

36
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,680
to sustain and refresh employee morale.

37
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:29,760
And BCG has a structured approach 

38
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,000
to help you answer 'Yes'

39
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,200
to these defining questions. 

40
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,880
There are a few other considerations 

41
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,120
to keep in mind regarding talent recruiting and management

42
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,760
as you progress with your digital 

43
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,120
transformation effort:

44
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,960
Have a clear view of talent gaps,

45
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:46,720
short and long term.

46
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Critical digital capabilities are in low supply 

47
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,400
and high demand, 

48
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,280
making it crucial 

49
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,680
to develop an accurate view 

50
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720
of your capacity and skil requirements

51
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:56,040
and a plan for how 

52
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,920
you will fill talent gaps early, 

53
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,920
including by recruiting and upskilling.

54
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Engage in digital skill building throughout the organization. 

55
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,240
Digital skills are not just for teams 

56
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,160
who are delivering the use cases.

57
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:09,040
They are for everyone 

58
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,440
from executives to the front line.

59
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,800
Be innovative in sourcing new talent.

60
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,400
Beyond training your current talent 

61
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,080
and recruiting new workers,

62
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,840
consider leveraging the gig economy, 

63
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,680
contract workers, and alumni, 

64
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,720
or using intelligent 

65
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,360
technology to fill gaps.

66
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:25,640
Leverage your successes 

67
00:02:25,640 --> 00:02:27,760
to recruit the next generation of talent.

68
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,800
New recruits are seeking companies 

69
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,440
with modern ways of working, 

70
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,240
teaming, and collaborating. 

71
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Your digital transformation 

72
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,880
use cases can help attract top talent

73
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:38,560
on an ongoing basis.

74
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,520
As one of our senior clients puts it:
