Businesses have faced unprecedented challenges over the last few years. From dealing with the pandemic to constrained global supply chains and inflationary pressures, business leaders have had to quickly adapt to an ever-changing market environment.
But even in a tumultuous period, one thing has stayed constant. Companies that continuously undertake digital transformation are the best positioned to respond to challenges—they’re more agile, responsive and resilient. However, there are many reasons organizations today struggle to deliver on their digital transformation ambitions. These include failure to lead with strategy and consider business needs, complicated and costly system configurations, deficient enterprise data models and lack of internal buy-in.
Here, we share our perspective on what business leaders need to be aware of before undertaking digital transformation—and what they need to think about strategically to ensure success.
Our human-led, tech-powered approach to digital transformation is built around six leading practices that make it more likely your organization will achieve your transformation objectives. In this approach, we treat the business strategy and value case as the north star. We also ensure the needs of the business are on an equal playing field with those of IT, so they can deliver stronger value together. Finally, we prioritize leadership from the C-suite to ensure all the people in the organization are brought along on the transformation journey.
