Karen explains that to be a great IT leader you must first listen to your people, learn from them how they utilize the technology, what are their needs and how will the technology benefit them. Once you understand your people then you can begin an IT strategy and eventually a digitalization strategy. Listen to Karen's advice on to transform a culture even if your company is over 100 years old, how to get upper management to understand your needs for change, how to implement a digital culture into your existing company and why is a digitalization strategy so important for your company even if your company has factories and mechanics.
