People Dimension

Roles, Skills, and Behaviors

The Human Engine of Change

The People dimension focuses on the human element of digital transformation. It is the most critical and often the most challenging vector to align, as it involves shifting culture, mindsets, and long-standing behaviors.

Cultural Readiness

Assessing the organization's appetite for change and its ability to embrace new ways of working. Identifying cultural anchors that either enable or impede transformation.

Upskilling & Reskilling

Defining the new technical and operational competencies required to leverage emerging technologies like AI, Edge, and Cloud effectively.

Accountability Models

Establishing clear ownership and decision-making authority within the new digital framework. Moving from centralized control to distributed accountability.

Key Considerations

People in the GEAR System

Within GEAR, the People dimension is primarily addressed through the Organizational Domain of O-DXA. The Find and Observe stages of FORGE are used to surface the informal networks and "Shadow IT" behaviors that define the actual culture of the enterprise.
