At present, humanity experiences a vertiginous period of multiple transitions, with strong repercussions on the sustainable development of our contemporary societies and business fabric. Indeed, local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) particularly strive to ride the wave of digital transformation by strategically reorienting inner resources toward the optimization of their latent intellectual capital. In this line, drawn on the examination of five (5) industrial SMEs located in the region of the Basque Country (Spain), this chapter explores the role of organizational learning and knowledge management in the acceleration of their current digital transformation processes, identifying certain fundamentals of the enterprise knowledge and learning management theory, while aiming at advising research-based strategies and purposeful organizational measures to forward digital transformation in SMEs. The lessons learned from this territorial case analysis encapsulate promising implications for public/private organizations, SMEs directors/managers, and multilevel policy makers pursuing continual advancement of sustainable competitiveness of their territories.
