Digital transformation cannot progress just by having highly skilled engineers or leaders who act as flag-bearers for reform. I believe digital transformation can only be realized with employees who are willing to change on-site work as users of IT. With a citizen development model that solves on-site issues from the bottom up, increased awareness of digitization and work efficiency among employees is increasing exponentially.

Resulting from a major merger, back-office operations from several companies were consolidated, creating an urgent need for business process reform. Relying on automation development by external partners was costly, and internal developer talent was limited, prompting the new organization to institute a citizen developer model to democratize automation from the bottom up and cultivate technical talent upskilling.
Today, the organization has 600 automations, over half of which were developed by citizens. By popularizing automation through on-site work, the company has improved the digital literacy of its front-line workers and positioned the workforce to quickly adapt to top-down system reform in the future.
