Why does digital transformation fail so often—and what do the people who get it right do differently?
In this episode of 15 Minutes With, Lee Cage Jr. sits down with Kasra Mojtahedi for a fast-paced conversation on what it actually takes to drive enterprise transformation that sticks.
Who he is: Kasra is a Partner at BDO USA and a CPA with 15+ years working at the intersection of innovation, leadership, and operational excellence.
What he does: He leads Enterprise Transformation and Technology Enablement at BDO, advising organizations on digital strategy and post-merger integration across project-centric business cycles—opportunity to cash, procure to pay, record to report, and beyond.
What he believes: That transformation isn't a technology problem—it's a leadership and alignment problem. Most digital initiatives fail not because the tools are wrong, but because purpose, people, and process were never aligned to begin with.
How he works: Kasra turns strategy into measurable action, leading change across functions and systems with a focus on financial compliance, cost accounting, and performance optimization—aligning purpose, innovation, and impact so organizations actually thrive.
In this episode:
Why most digital transformations fail—and how to fix it
What it really takes to lead change across functions and systems
How Kasra and his team turn strategy into measurable results
The mindset shift that separates buzzwords from real impact
