New technologies and business models often require new skills. Telcos may struggle to recruit, retain, and upskill talent for ‘Techco’ transformation. Transitions require talent and skill bridges.

Techco operations are agile and digital, but telcos have complicated legacy infrastructure and systems. Modernizing legacy systems and integrating new technologies takes time and effort.

Customer expectations in technology are changing rapidly. Customers expect seamless digital experiences, personalized services, and cutting-edge products. Telcos must meet customer expectations to stay competitive.

The telco-to-Techco strategic transformation requires a clear vision, well-defined strategies, and effective execution plans. It involves strategic product/service, partnership, investment, and market positioning decisions. Aligning the organization and stakeholders around a new vision takes time.
