What is Digital Transformation?

Digital Transformation is the journey from where
a
company is, to where it aspires to be digitally.

What is a ‘digital’ organisation?
| 7
A digital organisation is one that:
1. Focuses on customer experience irrespective of
channel
2. Has a ‘digital’ culture

Strategy
| 2013 | Digital Transformation
What should be in a Digital Strategy? (1)
| 28
Strategy•Make it clear how the digital strategy supports the overall business
strategy.
•Business plan/P&L for digital as necessary.
•Articulate short, medium and long term plan/vision for digital. For
example it may well be that in the long term the objective is that ‘digital’
will dissolve back into the business so structures, roles, P&Ls etc will
change over time.
•Define digital principles and digital design principles. Focus should be
user-centred design and customer experience
•Define “what good looks like” for digital: KPIs, success metrics, what
analytics/reporting are planned
| 2013 | Digital Transformation
What should be in a Digital Strategy? (2)
| 29
People/Process•Digital governance: who makes decisions and how? Who are the
leaders for digital?
•Structure: organisational design, teams, roles and responsibilities for
digital
•Culture for digital: define how you plan to work (agile, iterative), your
planned environment, your values e.g. sharing, transparency,
collaboration
•Training, education, empowerment, integration of digital across the
business. Articulate how you plan to bring digital to the whole business,
break down knowledge, and other, silos.
| 2013 | Digital Transformation
What should be in a Digital Strategy? (3)
| 30
Tech/Ops•Your plans around content, community, commerce
•Digital tech: infrastructure, architecture and ecosystem inc. points of
integration across business
•Data: metadata, taxonomy, integration with rest of business and systems
e.g. CRM, sales
•Tech Standards: standards/protocols you intend to use/comply with
•Legal: data protection, privacy, IP/rights policies, licences etc.
•Procurement: define who is in charge of digital tech and agency
procurement/selection (should be digital specialists)
•Define tools/environment the digital team will require to do their jobs
effectively
| 2013 | Digital Transformation
What should be in a Digital Strategy? (4)

Agile – for software development
Manifesto for Agile Software Development
We are uncovering better ways of developingsoftware by doing it and helping others do it.Through this work we have come to value:
Individuals and interactions over processes and tools
Working software over comprehensive documentation
Customer collaboration over contract negotiation
Responding to change over following a plan
That is, while there is value in the items onthe right, we value the items on the left more.
