COMPACT SUMMARY MLDA
Week 1
Define the characteristics of new and traditional ways of working:
Traditional ways of working typically involve:
 Heavy reliance on manual labor.
 Hierarchical organizational structures.
 Centralized decision-making.
 Routine tasks and top-down management.

4 activities of managers in the traditional approach:
1. Plan ahead – they need to know what the objectives are
2. Select and organize people – identify the people they need to accomplish their goals
3. Command and drive employees – check in to see if all objectives are being fulfilled
4. Coordinate all activities
Managers are concerned with organizing and delegating tasks; leaders are more concerned with
tasks and the personal and relational aspects of leading

Leaders should be able to answer these questions in the new approach to work:
1. Where are we going?
a. Providing a roadmap. Provide a vision (includes milestones and tasks, but also
values). Looking further down the road. Anticipate changes.
2. Why are we going there?
a. Give meaning or help make sense to a situation/task. Focus beyond tasks – more on
vision and change.
3. How are we going to get there?
a. Beyond vision and meaning > guiding employees. Leaders accompany followers
through change. Communication = key.

New ways of working are characterized by:
 Digitization, automation, and knowledge-based tasks.
 Greater flexibility and innovation.
 Collaboration and employee empowerment.
 Agile approaches to structure and management.

Leaders in the new way of working are responsible for keeping an eye on, and explaining to
employees where their team is going, why they are going there and providing a clear path on how to
get there to keep their employees motivated and engaged.

, Define Digitization, Digitalization, and Digital transformation:
Digitization: The process of converting analog information into digital form. It involves converting
physical assets, documents, or processes into digital formats.

Digitalization: The utilization of digital technologies to transform existing business processes,
creating new communication channels, or interactions with customers. It involves the adaptation
and use of digital tools, systems, and platforms.

Digital transformation: Describes a company-wide change that leads to the development of new
business models through the implementation of digital technologies. It affects the entire business
and requires systematic thinking and digital agility.

Define the 3 tensions in the digital transformation:
1. Product vs platform
a. Strategic choice between traditional product centric business models (focus on
tangible good and services and gain competitive advantage through resources and
capabilities) and platform based approached (intermediaries facilitating interaction
enabling ecosystem participation and leverage network effects for value creation).
b. Platform can create value; allows for network effects (value increases as more users
joining), scalability (rapid global expansion) and reach information about the users
with even a form of marketplace control and dominance.
2. Firms’ vs ecosystem
a. Decision making process between maintaining a firm centric approach (involves
centralized decision making and control with organization being primarily
responsible for driving its own transformation efforts with value creation withing in
the organizational boundaries) or embracing ecosystem dynamics (evolves around
collaborating and co-creating value with external partners stakeholders and
participants. Companies operating within an ecosystem leverage networks of
interconnected entities to delivery holistic solutions to customers)
3. People vs. Tools: Balancing human capabilities and digital tools in the transformation
process.

Explain the driving forces and counter forces and strategic implications of the digital
transformation:
 Driving forces include emerging digital technologies, wider competition, and changes in
consumer behavior.
 Counter forces may include resistance to change, legacy systems, and cybersecurity
concerns.
 Strategic implications involve the need for strategic collaborations, continuous adaptation,
and organizational agility.
