In this episode of NousCast, we speak to Steve Lennon, a digital strategy expert in Nous’ Sydney office, on the topic of digital transformation.
Steve brings to the topic experience that few others can – as well as spending years as a transformation specialist, he’s also an experienced mountain climber and adventurer. Steve explains why he thinks a Digital Sherpa can be so useful in overcoming the odds when it comes to a successful digital transformation. He tells us about the role of the Digital Sherpa, about the different type of transformations and shows the work of a Digital Sherpa in action.
The title Digital Sherpa gets its origins from the Sherpa people who live in the Himalayas and have been invaluable assistants to many climbers. The word sherpa has since taken on a more general meaning to refer to the role of assistant on an expedition. We owe a debt of gratitude to the Sherpa people for their help.
