Even with bigger IT budgets, companies face numerous obstacles to finding transformation success, everything from indecision about which technology to purchase to lack of internal support for change.

Digital Transformation Struggles
According to a report by alliantgroup on C-Suite Digital Transformation Sentiments, surveyed business leaders understand the importance of digital transformation, but cited the many challenges that have prevented their companies from being successful.
One of these challenges is the tech worker shortage currently affecting the U.S. labor market. Survey respondents said they believed finding skilled talent was a key area that would help their companies achieve digital transformation.
Companies across industries are looking for tech workers who can help them use the latest platforms and technologies for improving customer service and business operations. But instead, they are encountering a shortage of skilled workers with knowledge of coding, cloud platforms, project management, data management, business intelligence, and cybersecurity.
With no end in sight to the tech worker shortage, companies are looking for alternatives. Some of the strategies companies are considering include introducing upskilling or reskilling programs, moving away from requiring job candidates to have a four-year college or university degree, hiring gig workers, and exploring foreign worker programs. Some of these initiatives are short-term solutions or need time to prove effective in solving the worker shortage.
