Evolution of the digital field

Over the years, Joël has observed a rapid evolution of the digital field marked by several major trends:

The importance of openness and collaboration

For companies to succeed in their digital transformation, they must demonstrate openness and collaboration. Joël emphasizes the compatibility of technologies, the use of APIs to facilitate communication between different systems, and the exploitation of open technologies and the availability of documentation.

The Foundations of a good digital transformation: being user-centric

Joël insists on the importance of placing users at the heart of the digital transformation process.

In this approach, user involvement is crucial to ensure the success of a digital transformation. Their active participation allows for a better understanding of specific issues, identification of improvement opportunities, and adaptation of technological solutions to their real needs. By placing users at the heart of the process, Joël favors a human-oriented approach, thus ensuring better acceptance of changes and an effective and relevant digital transformation.
