Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation (DT): the new technological challenge facing organizations, under the risk that, if not adopted, the company will stop being competitive and at risk of disappearing.
Before any decision, your organization needs to carefully think about:
Do we really need to transform digitally?
While the high impact of the digital economy on business is evident, surprisingly, many organizations do not need to 20immediately take the step towards a DT process. It is necessary to clarify and establish the moment and how to design a strategy that makes adoption truly viable with successful results.
Which of the disruptive technologies can generate the maximum benefit for your business?
Internet of Things?, Big Data & Analytics?, Cloud Computing?, Robotics? Not all technologies are suitable to all industries. Identifying which of them are the proper bet, requires a space for reflection and analysis, since the investment of efforts and resources needs to be justified with an adequate plan for the realization of benefits and a sustainable business model.
What are the tangible benefits of DT in your industry sector?
Not all sectors can make the most of a DT strategy. Including, some of them, over time have been already using disruptive technologies as part of their evolution in terms of competitiveness. The impact on sectors such as finance and retailing is not the same as the impact on industries whose operational model registers less disruptive changes over time. Again, it is of capital importance to define the time and how to do DT.
Is your organization really prepared to adopt a DT strategy, avoiding the risk of being shipwrecked in the initiative?
Your business plans need to be properly aligned with your information technology plan in order to successfully achieve the common goal of DT. Digital Transformation also requires that your organization be prepared by adjusting its processes, its technological infrastructure and services, along with the culture and competences of its human resources.
