Overcome the fear of digital transformation in your company
The fear of layoffs is unfounded. See why this is an opportunity for growth.
For many, digital transformation sounds intimidating. Layoffs? Stepping out of the comfort zone? These are unnecessary worries. Here’s why:
I remember the changes in my parents' stores at the beginning of the systemic transformation. Cashiers were afraid of cash registers, accustomed to tallying up sales on paper.
Today? It's hard to imagine any store or business that doesn't have a cash register.
AI doesn't take away jobs; it transforms them. An example — the railway industry:
🟥 In the past: A signalman manually operated the traffic control system.
🟩 Today: A computer handles routine tasks. The signalman focuses on exceptional situations.
The position didn't disappear—it evolved.
Benefits of digital transformation:
- Increased efficiency: AI is your assistant, not a competitor.
- Greater safety: Automatic validation of human errors and fail-safes in critical situations.
- Easier access to work: Lower entry barriers for many positions.
- Simpler onboarding: Less complicated training for new employees.
Prepare for the future:
- Be open to new technologies.
- Develop soft skills.
Just as cash registers didn't eliminate cashiers, AI won't eliminate programmers or other specialists.

Is digital transformation an opportunity or a threat for you? How are you preparing for changes in your industry?
