Digital transformation ... without the drag
Digital Determined is a small start-up with the big ambition to accelerate digital transformation in complex organizations by targeting the root causes of transformation "drag" with smart, small-scale interventions.
For today's winning companies, digital transformation has become a continuous process. New and emerging digital technologies create possibilities for new business models, re-invented customer experiences, and dramatic operational improvements. However, most digital transformation programs struggle with transformation drag. After early enthusiasm, the speed of progress disappoints, expectations are not met, and adoption and business outcomes do not scale. By accelerating transformation progress, program costs are reduced, and business benefits are significantly increased.
Born from a belief in clear vision and focused execution
Being great at exploiting the game-changing power of digital is critical for today’s successful businesses. Companies can achieve dramatic new business growth by using digital technology to completely change existing or creating new business models. Digital can be employed to radically re-think and re-invent the way companies engage with prospects and customers. The speed and cost of business operations can be slashed.
Achieving such breakthrough change and delivering sustained business value demands a holistic and coherent approach to vision, strategy and execution.
The tough reality of digital transformation
After 10+ years of digital hype, many organizations still struggle to make significant transformational steps. Upgrading a complex business is never an easy ride. Early enthusiasm and quick wins are often followed by long periods of disappointing results. Creating the momentum to move beyond early adopters to the majority is critical to scale-up digital success.
Digital transformation drag
Digital transformation programs struggle to "cross the chasm" into the scale-up phase because of digital drag. This drag is a symptom of one or more underlying root causes, usually related to process, organization and people issues.
Smart interventions
For struggling programs, significant acceleration can be created with focused, small-scale change to streamline, unblock and course-correct running plans. This can mean faster realization of business benefits and reduced overall investments.
By discovering the specific underlying issues or gaps in a running program, intervention effort can be targeted at root causes without re-inventing or disrupting the overall transformation effort.
Digital Determined has created 9 focused interventions to address these challenges and accelerate transformation. Each of these interventions is backed-up by proven experience and a method-driven execution approach.
