This systematic literature review examines how digital and sustainable transformation - the twin transformation - can be successfully implemented in high-reliability organizations. Organizations in safety-critical areas such as energy supply, healthcare, aviation or mobility face the particular challenge of simultaneously meeting efficiency, safety, regulatory requirements and sustainability.
The analysis of current research shows which structural, cultural and technological prerequisites are necessary in order to view digitalization and sustainability not as separate developments, but as closely interlinked transformation paths. It identifies key enablers that enable integrated implementation and create the basis for stability and progress in complex environments.
In addition, the review classifies the effects that twin transformation can have on performance, resilience and the ability to innovate. The results thus provide a clear orientation framework for organizations that want to understand how digital and sustainable transformation can reinforce each other - and which factors determine whether this synergy effect actually occurs.
