It acknowledges that school system leaders and policymakers want to transcend siloed digital innovations and embrace a transformation mindset, leveraging technology as an enabler. This article defines digital transformation for learning organizations and identifies critical components required for successful digital transformational change. Critical components are informed by thematic analysis of digital transformation frameworks.
