Showing the value & ROI of digital
isn’t always straightforward.
• “What is the potential
impact to the business?”
• “What is wrong with the
current site?”
• “Why does it cost so much
to do this?”
• “How will this affect
existing revenues?”
• “Why can’t we add this feature
that I’ve seen on another
website to our site now?”
• “We don’t have enough
resources to support that
update now, it’ll take 12
months to get it in the queue”
Answering
“Why?”
Prioritizing
initiatives

86.
Growing digital revenues often requires
cannibalization.
• Pricing
• Channel shift
• Elimination of traditional revenue streams
• Changing expectations of payback period/level of investment required
• Forced realignment of resources

87.
Work flows to competency.

88.
Organizations can accelerate
change by marrying top down
leadership and macro
re-allocation of resources with
emerging engines of growth.
