From Here To There
People need a shared understanding of what digital transformation means. Aristotle has a framework that helps.
The unknown, uncertain space between past and future, between theory and practice, that characterizes organizations in the process of becoming something new.
To navigate the messy middle of transformation, leaders must understand how the different knowledge domains contribute to the transformation-and help their employees find a way to be part of the same conversation.

To find wisdom in something that is new to everyone, like digital transformation, leaders sometimes look for inspiration among thought leaders who are discovering new ways of thinking and talking about transformation rather than teaching existing theories.
Typically, people representing the domain of wisdom use and combine terms from professional areas that are foreign to the organization.

- They use the inspiration they get from everyday practice, consultants, and thought leaders to talk about the transformation in a language everyone understands.
