Companies are facing the perfect storm of a technology revolution, a global pandemic, ongoing recession, and changing customer priorities – all of which are intertwined. In this environment, organizations must take initiative to drive change through digital transformation or risk failure.

What is Digital Transformation?


Digital transformation is not just about digital technologies. It encompasses all aspects of an organization – and it should be driven by business, not IT. Ultimately, it means reimagining your products and services portfolio from the customers’ point of view and reinventing the value chain to deliver modern, connected experiences to all stakeholders.

As depicted in the graphic, high quality data is needed to create exceptional customer and stakeholder experience chains. Extreme customer centricity in the functional areas of acquisition and growth, value delivery and operations, and value enablement requires a high degree of executive involvement, according to the profiles we’ve gathered on companies we call Digital Champions.

Investment and leader-commitment starts the engine that gets great data flowing. The data then allows the business to not only contend with serious operational issues like cost-savings and supply chains, but also informs where companies must look to stay responsive to the consumer’s needs and relevant in the marketplace.

Our Digital Technology Competencies


Rather than viewing various technologies as individual islands, we bring them together and harness them in the context of an opportunity or a challenge. We focus on the core pillars and sub-disciplines within each of the following that we believe make the biggest drivers of transformation:

Benchmarking: The Foundation for Your Digital Transformation Strategy


Benchmarking should be the first step on your digital transformation journey. It will provide you with the insights needed to determine the digital gap between your organization and your competitors. It will also help you develop your vision and strategic priorities to catch up or leap ahead of your competition.

Using a data-driven approach, we help companies understand where they are on the digital transformation spectrum, per our Digital Enterprise Evolution Model.

The Importance of Post-Digital KPIs


Along with digitalization, business models and processes are changing from a traditional way of doing things to a new paradigm that requires new data inputs: “post-digital” key performance indicators (KPI), or new KPI.

Although many companies struggle to put their analytics infrastructure together, industry leaders use analytics for setting up their agenda and measuring progress. In fact, our research shows that more than 95% of companies that report industry-leading performance use this new KPI to frame their digital transformation agenda and drive their business.

Leveraging new KPI for benchmarking helps organizations:

  • Determine what world-class performance looks like and how to get there

  • Evaluate their investments and operations quickly and objectively

  • Gather insights needed to inform strategic prioritization and allocation of resources, driving process improvement and transformation

Strategy for Getting From Your Current Status to Level 5


To compete and win, businesses need to remember what should be central to their digital strategy: the customer. Digital transformation can help provide your customers with better service and preserve revenue during periods of economic disruption, enabling you to remain relevant in a rapidly developing dynamic market.

Improving the customer experience and market relevance should be your short-term business goal and No. 1 digital priority.

Why? Because they have anticipated the emergence of new customer needs and new industry dynamics; it was included in their roadmap from the beginning.

Design the Roadmap


Execution in the digital context is vastly different from traditional implementations. Agility isn’t just helpful—it’s paramount. Like a game of chess, companies must plan their moves in advance and yet do so with many different scenarios in mind.

Our experts advise mapping out scenarios to cover five important bases:

  • Changes in consumer behavior and emerging unmet needs

  • Evolution of your customer and business value chains to meet those unmet needs

  • Operational service planning to deliver best in class experiences with your products and services

  • Tactical planning: the translation of the above into measurable objectives and key results (OKRs)

  • Contingency planning: predictive yet agile forecasting

Strategy is both intended and emergent, therefore we believe that one of the most important layers of digital road mapping is contingency planning. That is, “If X happens, then what?” We can work with you to design contingency models that theoretically apply to near-infinite scenarios. This is what we refer to as a “living roadmap” that is multi-layered and covers every angle.
