We, the students of Lockheed Martin Leadership Institute, have dedicated our time to researching digital transformation. We have studied the importance of digital transformation and the role it plays in the future, why people need to be informed and take notice, the effect it has on companies who embrace it, and what happens to those who don’t. This report summarizes our findings, and is a representation of our knowledge to date, as well as a guide to our thoughts about what our fellow students can do to prepare.
