If you were one of the millions of travelers impacted by the technology breakdown of two major airlines a few months ago, you have my sympathies. But condolences aside, the unexpected and massive shutdown should serve as a warning to us all about the significant risks associated with an aging and often volatile IT infrastructure—that, and the value of being anticipatory with regard to changing IT requirements.

For example, Delta Airlines’ entire fleet in the United States was temporarily grounded because of computer problems—the second shutdown over a period of six months also shutting down the carrier’s website and mobile apps. Like legacy technology, legacy thinking refers to thinking, strategies and other actions that are outdated and no longer serve you to the extent that they once had. One example is agility—the ability to respond quickly to changing events and market conditions.

Since Mr. Smisek organized the merger of Continental (his former employer) with United, creating the world’s largest airline at the time, things have not gone well. Since announcing the merger in 2010, more has gone wrong than right at United: Computer glitches have hounded the airline. Thousands of flights were grounded, distressing millions of customers and wreaking havoc on the airline. Chronic bad experiences have led loyal customers to abandon the airline.

“Decoupling” the value chain is the next big strategy for digital innovation and business models. In the case of the travel industry, hotels, airlines, and tour operators decided to bypass the travel agencies and offer their services directly to consumers over the internet.

And because real action is so difficult to implement, culture is often viewed as the backwater of organizational strategy.”. As Doss points out, changing company culture is not easy—it’s an organizational shift that takes time and effort. For example, in 1972, Southwest Airlines was in deep trouble: they had already been forced to sell a number of their aircraft, and were still losing money at a rapid rate. Southwest isn’t the only airline to benefit from one good idea.

Digital products in the hands of customers, such as banking, airline or music apps, represent the last piece of the digitization puzzle since many of the back-end systems and processes became computerized over the last several decades. The fundamental issue: the way people think and work has not changed to fit the new digital reality -- people and processes are the bottleneck. Digital transformation is just as much about changing the company culture as it is about the technology.
