Negli ultimi anni il mercato ha subìto profondi mutamenti innescati dalla rivoluzione digitale e dalla sempre maggiore diffusione di tecnologie mobili e di apparati intelligenti. La conseguente disponibilità di un enorme quantitativo di informazioni ha permesso l’ingresso nei mercati di nuovi player disruptive, che ne hanno stravolto gli equilibri. Siamo nell’era delle aziende-piattaforma, in cui la tecnologia viene utilizzata per connettere persone, organizzazioni e risorse in un ecosistema interattivo in cui possono essere create e scambiate incredibili quantità di valore. In questo contesto la tecnologia non è tanto il fulcro dell’innovazione, quanto un abilitatore di logiche organizzative e modalità di creazione di valore nuove rispetto a quelle del mercato. Le aspettative dei clienti nei confronti di prodotti e servizi vengono costantemente ridefinite da questi nuovi player di natura digitale, che definiscono dei nuovi standard di interazione con i consumatori i quali si aspettano di ritrovare lo stesso tipo di esperienza anche nell’offerta degli operatori tradizionali. Come possono quindi le aziende tradizionali riposizionarsi per rimanere rilevanti in questa nuova realtà? L’introduzione di innovazioni tecnologiche a supporto del business non è sufficiente a trasformare le organizzazioni: l’aspetto spesso sottovalutato è infatti l’implicazione organizzativa e, in particolar modo, culturale che la trasformazione digitale sottende. Si chiama rivoluzione digitale ma è prima di tutto una rivoluzione culturale che deve coinvolgere l’intera azienda e al centro si trovano le persone, non la tecnologia. Ma come può un’azienda innescare un motore di cambiamento culturale al suo interno? Trasformare la cultura dell’organizzazione significa scontrarsi con le abitudini, le incertezze, le paure e le motivazioni delle persone, per far emergere una nuova mentalità più aperta alla crescita e all’innovazione continua. Fondamentale diventa quindi la costruzione di un ecosistema all’interno dell’azienda in grado di attivare il cambiamento guidando e supportando le persone lungo tutto il processo. Questa tesi vuole fornire alle PMI tradizionali uno strumento di comunicazione interna in grado di stimolare l’engagement dei dipendenti nella trasformazione digitale dell’organizzazione e di accompagnarli nel processo di acquisizione di un mindset digitale.

Abstract
In the last few years the market has gone through some profound changes started by the digital revolution and the ever-growing use of mobile technologies and smart devices. The resulting huge amount of information that has since become available has opened market to new disruptive players, that were able to upset its balance. We've entered the platform-company era, in which technology is used to connect people, organizations and resources in an interactive ecosystem that makes possible the creation and the exchange of an insane amount of value. In this context technology is not the center of innovation, it is an enabler of new organizational logics and new way to create value. These new digital players constantly redefine customer's expectations for products and services, and also set new interaction standards with users. For this reason, clients now expect to find this new kind of experience also in traditional players offer. Then how can traditional companies reposition themselves to stay competitive in this new reality? The introduction of technological innovations supporting business is not enough to transform organizations. In fact, an underestimated aspect of this digital transformation is the involvement not only of organization but especially of culture implied in it. It’s called digital revolution but first of all it is a cultural revolution that must involve the whole company and at its center there are people, not technology. How can a company start a wave of cultural change from within itself? To change organization culture means to clash against habits, uncertainties, fears and people motivation in order to reach a mindset that is more inclined to growth and continuous innovation. It is fundamental to build an internal ecosystem capable of activating the change, leading and supporting people all along the process. This thesis wants to provide to traditional PMIs an internal communication tool that can stimulate worker's engagement in digital transformation and guide them to the process of developing a digital mindset.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
