Digital transformation involves integrating digital technologies into all areas of a business to fundamentally change operations and deliver value to customers. This requires cultural change and continual challenging of the status quo. The 4th industrial revolution is an era of connectivity, globalization, cloud computing, and opportunity. Digital transformation impacts work through automation substituting repetitive jobs with robotic workers by 2025 and evolving market demands focused on customer experience. Data and processes are better integrated to create value rather than focus on activities. Skills will be preferred over academic qualifications. Cloud computing delivers computing services like storage, servers, and software via the internet. It provides flexibility and pay-as-you-go pricing models. Digital solutions like Microsoft 365 provide consolidated apps, security, collaboration and

10. 3 Digital Transformation, Impact on
Work Ethos
Digital innovations have enforced changes in enterprise
management, work and content delivery.
Obsolescence is the No. 1 danger most professionals face,
while enterprises that do not modernize would likely face
higher cost of maintaining legacy hardware/software.
Repetitive and monotonous functions in accounting and law,
for instance, would almost certainly be taken over by robotic
workers.

12. Automation introduces complexities that compel a paradigm
shift where codifiable operations would be outsourced to robotic
workers
Enterprise and workers need to imbibe the hybrid philosophy;
maintaining traditional values of diligence and prudence while
ensuring the system’s resilience and capacity to modernize are
unhindered.
Functions that cannot be codified, such as problem solving,
strategic thinking, creativity, emotional intelligence, people
management and data analysis, would demand special skills and
command high pay.
