Not only was Digital Transformation (DT) accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, but over recent years some companies have already developed actions related to DT. It is well known that DT has many benefits, such as improving business models, making communication channels more efficient and facilitating decision-making. Furthermore, amongst others, one big challenge of DT is to contribute to areas related to sustainability. The objective of this article is to offer an exploratory review of how a small sample of leading Mexican companies have used DT as an enabler to be more efficient in some sustainability-related issues. The companies analyzed in this paper belong to different sectors: communication services, retail, financial, food and beverages, and materials. Through the identification of DT initiatives and implementations across time, a radar chart was constructed in order to identify, as a first approach, those related to sustainability in order to identify evidence of what some companies are doing in this regard. In addition, actions were grouped under the Business Dimensions defined by Deloitte Development LLC in order to emphasize the focus given by the organizations. One of the main conclusions from the evidence is that indeed big companies have a digital strategy agenda but not necessarily related to sustainability, but also that it is collaterally affected positively due to the economies of scale and operational improvements, from DT. This a qualitative primary study that can be reinforced in the future with analytical evidence that can measure impacts, effects, etc., to enrich strategies that relate to both DT and sustainability.Read More - Ciolook Media

A group of teachers at Khanya Township School decided to forge a path of change in their school. Recognizing the challenges that surrounded their classrooms, they formed a Professional Learning Community (PLC) named UNITY. The teachers at UNITY faced overcrowded classrooms and scarce resources. However, their shared commitment to enhancing education created a bond that went beyond the walls of their school. The PLC became a hub of ideas and support, where teachers collaborated to navigate challenges and share innovative teaching methods. Through collaborative efforts, UNITY implemented a mentorship program, pairing experienced educators with those newer to the profession. This simple yet effective initiative alleviated the strain on individual teachers and created a supportive network that echoed with the spirit of unity. In response to outdated resources, the PLC embraced technology. They created a digital platform where teachers could access and share lesson plans, resources, and creative teaching ideas. The virtual space became a treasure trove of knowledge, injecting vitality into classrooms and providing students with a more engaging learning experience. As word spread about UNITY’s success, other township schools joined the movement. The PLCs formed a network of support, each contributing to the collective mission of enhancing education in the townships.
