Description
This study advances a new governance-as-practice lens that could help researchers and practitioners to understand how governance is done in digital transformation. We address the question: how does the process of governing digital transformation unfold? Empirically, we are conducting a longitudinal case study of an Australian digital healthcare transformation project. This short paper reports our provisional findings, which reveal two stages and seven modalities that constitute the process of governing digital transformation. It suggests that governing digital transformation is a process through which actors constantly evolve their governance framework as they continuously make sense of the desired governance outcomes. The intended contribution of the work is to offer an in-depth understanding of the dynamic and adaptive process of IT governance (called for by Tiwana et al. 2013) in the context of digital transformation.
