Digital Transformation

With a sharp contrast to the age of computerization, today in the digital era, implementing and managing changes in business models and ecosystems is exponentially more complex. At such a juncture when the efficacy of conventional approaches to digital transformation is all but diminished, Digital Enterprise Architecture (Digital EA) is a savior. Yielding more enhanced insights of all forces involved, it helps create a comprehensive digital transformation strategy that yields accurate decisions. All of these decisions can be mapped to five key areas of digital transformation.

A digital transformation strategy:

  • Helps fully reorient the business while focusing on customer experience
  • Enables businesses to leverage valuable, result-oriented technologies

What Are the 5 Key Areas of Digital Transformation?

  • Leadership and culture
  • Workforce enablement
  • Customer experience
  • Operating model
  • Information management

Leadership and Culture

An effective digital transformation calls for the leadership to promote a digital culture across the organization. The endeavor includes enhancement of the business ecosystem’s insights and the adoption of innovation, not only as organizational culture, but as a business model in itself. 

A digital culture:

  • Stimulates an external orientation, as opposed to internal
  • Values delegation more than control
  • Emphasizes bold innovation, not cautionary stagnation
  • Promotes action over planning
  • Prizes collaboration instead of individual effort

Further, it is your organization’s leadership that determines what the primary purpose, product line and targeted client base should be. Leaders must be absolutely clear on their parameters before creating the digital transformation, so that expensive mistakes may be avoided in the last phases of the process.

Workforce Enablement

An organization’s most valuable resource, as it has always been, is its workforce. Along with talent and skills management, optimization of the workforce’s productivity and adaptability in the digital workplace warrants the continual development of competencies. Organizations must foster an enterprise-wide culture of learning, opting for the right digital resources for each specific business goal. 

Customer Experience

New technologies and modern customer needs have evolved the points of interaction with the customer. As organizations adopt fully digital solutions for customer on-boarding and service, the need for evolving internal organizational processes along with them has surfaced. Where various departments related to the customer’s experience have so far operated in silos, they must now design fully digital processes that encompass the entire customer journey. Digital EA implementation further calls for digital processes that ultimately enhance the customer’s overall experience.
