It has had a major effect on culture, workforce practices and training needs within a period of just over 15 years. The transformation has brought along-with positive and negative effects. However, no studies have been conducted in Bhutan to understand the fundamentals of the impact of digital transformation. There exists a critical gap which, if the benefits of digital transformation are to be maximized (and negative impacts minimised), must be addressed urgently through credible research so as to guide the development of strategic policy instruments to take full advantage of the digital transformation. This research responds to such a need by understanding the extent, magnitude and direction of the impact of digital transformation on Bhutanese society, culture in general and, in particular, on Bhutan Post Community Centres (CCs), to recommend the best course of action that Bhutan or Bhutan Post management could take in further adopting the ICTs for its benefits while minimising its negative impacts on the same.

    Volume 1, Issue 1 (July 2017– December 2017) Volume 1, Issue 1 1 Volume 1, Issue 1 2 Volume 1, Issue 1 FOREWORD t is my pleasure to inform all our esteemed readers that Chhukha Dzong- khag is coming out with its first magazine called “Ngoedrup-Tse”. It is Ibeing launched on 17th December 2017 coinciding with the National Day celebra- tion. It will cover important events in the Dzongkhag for a period of six months from July 2017 through December 2017. The main objectives of the megazine are to: Serve as invaluable mouthpiece of the Dzongkhag to translate experiences and best practices into knowledge; Break down silos within sectors and share activities, highlight achievements and news within organization and with other agencies; To archive and make articles available for official reference and record in near future; Create a sense of camaraderie to foster positive work attitude and a productive “To archive team spirit that benefits everyone. As the adage goes, a happy employee is a productive employee. To take it a step and make further, an informed employee is a happy employee. If so, then the question is not “why start an internal megazine?” but rather “why not start a megazine today?” to appreciate and acknowledge the hard work of Dzongkhag staffs. I hope our read- articles ers will find the newsletter informative and useful. We look forward to receiving comments and feedbacks to help us improve upcoming publications which will be available for newsletter instead of magazine. I would like to thank all those who have contributed articles this time and urge oth- official ers to do so in the subsequent newsletter.
