Digitalization as a necessary condition for the functioning and development of a competent organization

Abstract

The article examines digitalization as a necessary condition for the functioning of a competent organization in the modern business environment. The conceptual foundations of organizational competence in the context of digital transformation are analyzed, and the impact of digital technologies on the development of key organizational capabilities is considered. The challenges and barriers of digitalization are systematized, including resistance to change, lack of financial resources, cybersecurity threats, and a lack of a clear strategy. Ways to overcome them are proposed. Particular attention is paid to digitalization in the context of sustainable development, and its impact on the economic, social, and environmental aspects of organizations' activities is analyzed. The need for a systemic approach to digital transformation is substantiated, which covers not only technological aspects but also organizational culture, personnel competencies, and strategic planning. It is proven that successful digitalization requires the integration of digital practices into all dimensions of organizational activity and the formation of a culture of continuous learning and adaptation to technological changes.
