[Project Number: 2021-1-CY01-KA220-VET-000033254] Organization’s digital needs/requirements/aims There is a ton of enterprise technology available in the marketplace. For example, ERP systems, HCM, CRM, supply chain management tools, robotics, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things, are all excellent choices for many organizations. However, each organization needs to stay focused on the solutions that are going to best enable its strategic goals. Focusing on the right solutions is extremely important for an organization to enable future organizational strategies and invest in the right tools, competences and skills that are going to enhance their business strategies and thus increase the profits and the outcome of the services. More specifically, one significant challenge concerning digital transformation is that organizations become very dependent on third parties. They depend too much on their software vendors and system integrators to make their projects or products successful. An alternative key here is to use the organization’s human capital and build internal competences, hire people whose skills are aligned with the new organization’s digital strategies and needs to increase self- sufficiency. There are two benefits to this with regards to the employees. Firstly, the employees are going to enhance their knowledge in alignment with the internal competences of the organization they work for. Secondly, they will be justified to ask for a raise as they will be able to use their skills to handle additional responsibilities. However, we need to acknowledge that this cannot happen overnight. Also, to increase the potential of achieving such a goal, you as a VET trainer need to be aware of your learners’ organizations, digital needs, requirements and aims. Change management Change management is the process of planning, communicating, and implementing changes in an organization. It is a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. Effective change management requires strong leadership, clear communication, and a well-designed plan. Additionally, it's important to consider the human aspect of change, which includes identifying and addressing the concerns and resistance of the people who will be impacted by the change. Change management is critical for the success of any digital transformation initiative since it helps organizations navigate the challenges and uncertainties of change and to achieve the desired outcomes.
