Valuing partnership and people Digital transformation is rarely a solo journey . Collaboration is vital – between companies , providers and people – to ensure strategic alignment , technological quality and business harmony .
IT is rarely conceptualised as being a people-driven field . But technology , from its use to its development , always comes back in some regard to fostering greater human connectivity .
Abdulbary , who asserts his role is 90 % communication , certainly agrees with this .
“ We work in a big company where there are many stakeholders and many of them have spent a long time in the business ,” he explains .
“ It ’ s very hard to change their mindset and try to push them to pursue new trends or new standard business processes .
“ So a huge part of my role is resolving conflicts and fostering dialogue between us who are more on the technology side and those on the business side .”
Abdulbary is well-placed to resolve these conflicts , as someone who takes a collaborative and evenhanded approach to management .
“ I don ’ t believe in micromanaging and I think delegation is very important ,” he says .
“ I really believe in giving free space to everybody to share their opinion and come up with new ideas .”
