Sometimes they just want advice on tasks that are taking up too many resources and could be automated with AI. I help them find those opportunities and implement the right solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-jon-s-thoughts-on-the-meaning-of-digital-transformation\">Jon\u2019s thoughts on the meaning of digital transformation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we get deeper into the specifics of digital transformation, Jon points out its flaws. \u201cThe term \u201cdigital transformation\u201d is a bit outdated,\u201d he says. \u201cAll companies are already digital to some extent. What we do now is more about helping companies change. We\u2019re change consultants, not just digital consultants. A big part of that change is dealing with people. AI might be the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/what-could-your-future-in-economics-look-like\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">future<\/a>, but there are always people in the company who will need to be trained or helped with the technology. Some might be against it, and some just won\u2019t know how to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-and-this-confusion-is-just-why-companies-need-digital-transformation-consultants\">And this confusion is just why companies need digital transformation consultants.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-consulting-1024x707.webp\" alt=\"Digital transformation consultancy: How to stay relevant with Jon Oleaga\" class=\"wp-image-37641\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-consulting-1024x707.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-consulting-300x207.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-consulting-150x104.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-consulting-768x530.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-consulting-585x404.webp 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-consulting.webp 1115w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI get a lot of referrals. Big consulting firms will do a report for a company, but sometimes the company doesn\u2019t understand it, so they call me to explain it. Or they\u2019ll call me when they realize they have an inefficiency, like spending too much time on manual reports. That\u2019s where AI comes in. Right now, I\u2019m working with companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gene.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Genentech<\/a>, helping them automate their reports. It\u2019s surprising how many big companies are still doing this manually\u201420 to 30-page reports every week, and they\u2019re doing all the data transformations by hand.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And more companies are realizing just how powerful new technology can be. \u201cI had a client last week where the automation tool I set up failed,\u201d says Jon. \u201cAnd they spent the entire night manually preparing the reports. They called me to figure out what went wrong, and it was a wake-up call for them about how much time they were wasting on manual tasks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-digital-transformation-advice-for-companies-in-search-of-change\">Digital transformation advice for companies in search of change<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While understanding technology is essential for leaders, Jon points out the importance of keeping the human workforce inspired. \u201cYou know, for companies adopting new technology to become more efficient, it&#8217;s all about empowering employees. If employees have a few tools that allow them to do more in less time, their productivity skyrockets. That\u2019s what we\u2019re teaching students at <a href=\"https:\/\/landings.ie.edu\/masterland-programs-in-business-management-cro?utm_source=google&amp;utm_medium=cpc&amp;utm_campaign=AO-PROS-SEM-BRA-HQ-REGLR-TIER1-ESP-WFORM-LEAD-PW-MAS-BUS-BMNG-ALLP&amp;utm_id=8301386093&amp;ad_group_id=146282458072&amp;ad_id=646791828659&amp;placement_id=&amp;network=g&amp;gclsrc=aw.ds&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiA2JG9BhAuEiwAH_zf3ob9bttRQ7mluKKFWhK0gBUDwppK2Ro4MdW53qzsCQFI1UsJq3HvIRoCuXcQAvD_BwE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE Business School<\/a>\u2014how to be super productive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt reminds me of a story from back when Excel was first released,\u201d Jon continues. \u201cThe director of AI at Microsoft once told me that if you went to a big company in New York years ago, they&#8217;d have an entire floor of people doing calculations that you can now do in Excel with just a couple of clicks. It\u2019s the same idea\u2014empowering employees to do more with less. And that&#8217;s how we should see technology, as a tool for empowerment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNow, looking ahead, AI is just one of the waves of technology coming our way. We don&#8217;t know exactly what the future holds, but imagine 5-10 years from now, quantum computing becomes a reality. How are companies going to use that? If you want to be at the forefront of these technological waves, you have to be ready to lead projects that use these new technologies. The waves of tech changes will come faster, and you\u2019ll want to be the one leading that change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-future-of-digital-transformation-consultancy\">What is the future of digital transformation consultancy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The future of digital transformation is uncertain. As new technologies develop, we\u2019re tasked with staying on top of change. Jon is all too aware of this fact\u2014though he has his own predictions: \u201cI think <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/rpa-digital-transformation-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">robotic process automation<\/a> (RPA) is on its way out. It\u2019s not as flexible as AI. I\u2019m not saying RPA is completely dead yet\u2026 but it\u2019s getting there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jon is aware that, even as a digital transformation consultant, there\u2019s no certainty in the impact of technological trends. \u201cHonestly, no one knows for sure. Ten years ago, I was really excited about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/how-to-form-innovation-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">quantum computing<\/a>, started learning to code on it, and then&#8230; nothing really happened. Right now, there\u2019s also a lot of buzz around XR (<a href=\"https:\/\/digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu\/en\/policies\/extended-reality\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Extended Reality<\/a>). But XR isn\u2019t quite ready for everyday use in most companies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-despite-this-uncertainty-jon-has-his-own-theories-on-how-ai-is-going-to-continue-transforming-everyday-life\">Despite this uncertainty, Jon has his own theories on how AI is going to continue transforming everyday life.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Digital transformation advice for companies in search of change\" class=\"wp-image-37639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/how-to-do-digital-transformation.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe next big shift will be in how we interact with the internet,\u201d says Jon. \u201cImagine instead of browsing websites, you just use an AI agent like <a href=\"https:\/\/chatgpt.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ChatGPT<\/a> to find and book a plane ticket. It\u2019ll handle everything and send you a confirmation email. That\u2019s going to become the norm in the next 1-2 years. When that happens, websites and apps might not even be necessary anymore. Take <a href=\"https:\/\/www.perplexity.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Perplexity<\/a>, for example. It\u2019s an AI tool that\u2019s integrated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shopify.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shopify<\/a>, allowing users to buy products directly from the AI platform. This kind of functionality will only expand in the future. The first companies to adapt their digital products for AI agents are going to get a huge advantage in this next wave. That\u2019s why I tell my students to be ready for it\u2014because traditional websites and apps might not make sense in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-the-executive-master-in-digital-transformation-amp-innovation-leadership-prepares-students-for-new-technology\">How the Executive Master in Digital Transformation &amp; Innovation Leadership prepares students for new technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The only way to provide digital transformation consultancy is through continual learning. We\u2019ve ensured that our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/digitas-career-advice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Executive Master in Digital Transformation &amp; Innovation Leadership<\/a> is led by experts like Jon who can guide you in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of my clients wanted to develop a mental health chatbot,\u201d Jon warns. \u201cThe technology wasn\u2019t quite there, and it would\u2019ve been an expensive project. But then, <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">OpenAI<\/a> released a feature that solved their problem in just a day. The project went from being a million-dollar investment to something they could do for almost nothing. This kind of change happens constantly, and it\u2019s crucial to know when to move forward with a tech project and when to hold off. That\u2019s exactly what I teach my students. A lot of companies invest in new technologies only to have their employees reject them, wasting huge amounts of resources. That\u2019s a big problem, and it\u2019s something I want my students to learn how to avoid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-at-ie-business-school-we-ve-designed-the-executive-master-in-digital-transformation-amp-innovation-leadership-for-mid-and-senior-level-professionals-with-c-suite-ambitions\">At IE Business School, we\u2019ve designed the Executive Master in Digital Transformation &amp; Innovation Leadership for mid- and senior-level professionals with C-Suite ambitions.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Studies at IE Business School\" class=\"wp-image-37637\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-1170x780.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/digital-transformation-consulting.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing successful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/international-olympic-committee-jobs-in-innovation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital transformation strategies<\/a> are now vital in ensuring a company\u2019s success.
