abstract = {In any human undertakings, success requires a sound strategy. Based on a narrative review, this conceptual paper discusses the concept of strategy, its manifestations in digital transformation, and a strategy for managing project front-end activities in this change process. Concretely, based on the underlying rationale, we highlight the multidimensional nature of strategy first and then its various manifestations in digital transformation. Finally, we present a strategy for managing project front-end activities in this process, some relevant tools, and techniques in addition to a metaphor meant to creatively generate supplemental insights into this strategy. Overall, this essay contributes to knowledge in information systems by enhancing two types of theory in this area, namely, the theory for analyzing and theory for design and action. © 2023 IEEE Computer Society.

This panel is related to the education for the practice of IS Leadership roles in Digital Transformation with a given framework of Digital Strategy and Enterprise Architecture. As members of education and collaborative research teams that have been studying and teaching the correct direction of IS leadership roles under Digital Transformation in global organizations while applying Enterprise Architecture (EA) Framework – the “Adaptive Integrated Digital Architecture Framework (AIDAF)” with Holistic EA Framework, the panelists understand that the above roles have difficulties during Digital Transformation. Thus, the panelists will discuss the theory, practice, and extent of educator’s precise guidance in the leadership roles and correct directions in Digital Transformation.

abstract = {We invite Information Systems (IS) educators, program chairs, and school executives to discuss and explore how to best prepare the next generation of digital leaders, in particular architecture strategy as enabler of digital transformation and innovation. Global companies proceed with Digital Transformation as a strategy to improve their business model with digital platforms efficiency to enhance competitive. Previous research has identified leadership as one critical success factor for Digital Transformation strategy. To stimulate this discussion, they will discover the Architecture Strategy of Digital Transformation with Adaptive Integrated Digital Architecture Framework (AIDAF) and Business Technology Management (BTM), a Canadian program accreditation standard, as well as a Body of Knowledge (BOK) outlining a vision for future digital leadership competencies. This workshop will allow for a review of various digital leadership competency frameworks and engage participants to become active contributors in their development, reuse, and adoption by IS programs internationally. © 2023 International Conference on Information Systems, ICIS 2023: "Rising like a Phoenix: Emerging from the Pandemic and Reshaping Hu.

abstract = {Digital Transformation studies have emphasized the emergence of new post-alignment challenges with a more seamless integration of business and technology strategies. Project leaders face more complex tasks, requiring hybrid skillsets, blending business and technology expertise, and spanning operational and strategic levels. The research question motivating this review is: how can IT executives best identify and position IT professionals and managers to fit digital leadership roles? These challenges are directly linked to Talent Management (TM) practices to help coach project teams and managers in developing digital leadership competencies. A brief literature review is presented, grounded in theoretical perspectives that link these competencies to IT and digital strategy outcomes. A model is proposed to integrate the literature around Strategy-as-Practice and Project-as-Practice serving as broader theoretical canvas. The conclusion proposes a research agenda to help integrate TM with digital leadership and encourage new empirical studies of digital projects in the “as-practice” perspective. © 2022 28th Americas Conference on Information Systems, AMCIS 2022.

abstract = {The acceleration of Digital Transformation has led to rapidly evolving transdisciplinary IS-IT professional roles operating across technology and business units. Digital projects require new tasks and skillsets, staffing requirements, and career progressions continuously updated by organizations of all sectors. IT Talent Management (TM) requires a more integrative and adaptive competency framework to help guide IT professionals in becoming new digital leaders. Accordingly, a unified Body of Knowledge (BOK) is developed to improve TM accuracy, breadth, and flexibility. Entitled Business Technology Management (BTM), it serves as a common language to integrate professional standards and match talents to projects. The first iteration results are presented such as the BTM BOK meta-model, methodology, and development tools. The impacts on digital project leadership practices and ontology-driven design methods are outlined. © AMCIS 2021.},

abstract = {Digital transformation is accelerating and is increasing the demand for a new generation of leaders with hybrid skillsets, capable to manage IT but also co-create digital organizations. It requires professionals, trained in IS and IT disciplines, spanning business, computing, or engineering schools, to grow beyond their fragmented and competing specializations, and work together within a more integrated IS-IT profession. We report on the Business Technology Management (BTM) initiative and its applied research project developing a BTM Body of Knowledge (BOK). Launched in Canada and supported by 22 colleges and universities, it aims at rebranding IS and IT programs, ensure collaboration between disciplines, and create more seamless career paths. Our paper provides an update on the BTM initiative and outlines the BTM BOK as an integrated transdisciplinary competency framework. © ICIS 2020. All rights reserved.},
