Building Digital Strategy Roadmap For Digital Transformation Complete DeckSlideTeam
Digital strategy roadmap is a blueprint for aligning business goals with your digital strategy. It shows how the company plans to embrace digital technologies to grow business and create better customer experience in the long term. Creating a digital strategy roadmap is not simply listing out key digital initiatives and giving them a tentative timeline. It follows an extensive research process which starts with Digital Review. It starts with uncovering consumer insights and market insights. One then develops Digital Strategy keeping in mind the digital goals and key initiatives in the short and long term. The third step in this process is Digital Planning which involves setting realistic time frame for implementing digital initiatives. The final steps involve setting KPIs for measuring the success of digital strategy. Taking the healthcare sector as a case study, our researchers have outlined the digital landscape of the industry and showed key digital strategies a healthcare provider wishes to implement for digital transformation. https://bit.ly/3bL7TlW

Digital Transformation From Strategy To ImplementationScopernia
Creating a digital transformation strategy is one thing but how do you put the insights and plans into practice. This presentation deals with vision, strategy, roadmap, governance, leadership, channel hacking, start-up-thinking and many more issues.
What is Digital transformation?
Far too often digital transformation is confused with Digitalization or with Digitization with a key focus on technologies or platform. But Digital transformation is not about technologies: it's about transforming the whole prganisation through a system thinking approach and it's about rethinking operational models, business models, processes, and policies, taking people, both employees and customers at the core of the process.
Because the goal of any digital transformation is to increase value creation for the business through digitally enhanced processes that increase internal efficiency and overall customer and employee satisfaction.
Digital transformation is en emergent need in today's post-industrial society: we moved fast from an industrial to a post-industrial era, however operational models and management practices haven't evolved fast enough.
For this reason, many organisations prefer to think of Digital transformation as the adoption of digital technologies on the top of mainly inefficient and obsolete operational models, rather than facing a true in depth transformation that begins with understanding the current culture, the customers, and the overall business.
These slides, were presented to students from IIM (india) at ESPC London on July 27th 2017 with the goal to provide tomorrow's digital leaders a broad vision of what is digital transformation by looking at what and the reasons why change is happening in the business world, define Digital transformation and its dimensions through the lenses of an Experience economy and a post-industrial era. The presentation also presents the Competing Value Framework as a key tool to start understanding organsation's culture and define a digital transformation roadmap and strategy.

Business Process Management as the basis for Digital TransformationPanagiotis Papaioannou
Digital transformation is about shifting an organization to new ways of doing business using modern and emerging digital technologies to improve internal operations or the interaction with the customers or partners.
However, it is the internal processes that support the organization's competences and cause the observed organizational behaviour. Business Process Management (BPM) is about supervising how works are performed within an organization to ensure the consistency of outputs and to explore improvement opportunities.
Working on processes will not only highlight opportunities and priorities for Digital Transformation but will also support IT projects by facilitating the implementation of the organizational change.
What is Digital Transformation? What are the friction points and the mental challenge? How is the mindset around disruption managed and what is Manchester Metropolitan University doing about this?

A Textbook for Publishing: Selected Articles from Personanondata Michael Cairns
Since I started my blog PersonaNonData in 2006, I had no idea where the journey would take me but I have always seen the blog as a close extension of what I’ve been doing since my career in publishing started: Trying to make sense of the business amid an ever changing environment.
That’s the nature of business, and I’ve always believed that if you don’t have an interest in the dynamics and influences pervading your company and business you should probably think about making a change. I frequently meet people who after long periods in publishing really have no idea what’s going on. I find that quite sad.
PersonaNonData has always been a selfish preoccupation but I do hope I’ve been able to shed some light on the business – at least as I see it – for some small group of publishers who enjoy my point of view.
And the photos of course!

At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Guiding digital transformation
Start with vision and purpose:
“When a unified understanding of customers is lacking, companies
struggle to mobilize employees around integrated touchpoints, journeys,
and consistent experiences, while often failing to discern where to best
place their bets as digital broadens customer choice and the actions
companies can take in response.” (1)
Focus on your customers/consumers and their behaviors
Define the right planning horizons to reinvent yourself
frequently
Understand and invest in competitive differentiation and
advantage
Harness flexible technology effectively
Define and establish new motivation and performance plans
Eliminate operational silos and fiefdoms which impede
change and cooperation
(1) Culture for a digital age, McKinsey Quarterly, July 2017
9. 9
Committed executive sponsorship
CEO/Board sets step-change objectives
Start with vision and purpose
Shareholders must have long-term conviction
Avoids ‘back-sliding’ and ‘good enough’ delivery
CEO communicates vision – what needs to be achieved, why and
when
Assign senior management responsibility
Make other leaders accountable
Remove blockages
Motivate staff via bonus, financial and other reward programs
Encourage inspired leadership where leaders ‘own’ digital change
Establish reporting frameworks that support constant questioning,
revision and adaptation
Aligning organization around ‘digital by default’
Agreement comes from relentless daily engagement
CEO actively interested in all activities
Proactive, disruptive, ambitious
10. 10
A relentless focus on the customer
Organize around customer outcomes, not legacy processes
Think ‘audience’, not ‘product’
Ask how does this create value for the customer?
Adopt customers into the product-development process: Co-design
with users

improvement in product development
Use marketing actively to engage with consumers, not passively to
persuade

activities
Engaged customers become advocates for the product(s)
11. 11
A philosophy of iterative improvement
Build out core capabilities – establish base
Customer, product, marketing data management
Agile technology, UI/UX expertise
Data science and analytics
Select initial (Lighthouse) digital product ideas carefully
with respect to impact, cost, timeframe, need
Prototype: Make multiple product bets
Test and experiment
Test/plan business models which are experimental
Honor cost of failure and increase speed of learning
Enabling flexibility creates “pure play” opportunity
Setting reporting frameworks that review objectives and
results, provide opportunities to double-down or pivot
12. 12
Technology to facilitate not impede
Redefine the role(s) of IT from legacy maintenance to
enterprise and customer enablement
Replace old, inefficient systems
Outsource non-core activities to build flexibility
Seek nimble, flexible and easy-to-use technical solutions
Agility and resilience
Technology in terms of value to customers
Smaller, iterative, focused ‘blocks’ of work
Enable course correction and effective spending in development
Amazon technology practice: “Eat your own dog food”
Open source solutions and “open” by default
Subscription-based models and virtual/cloud-based solutions
over self-hosted servers and proprietary software
Limit long-term ‘lock-in’
Third-party provider contracts which vary based on usage/data
13. 13
Technology is increasingly personal
B2B users are all B2C users: Experiences co-mingled

B2C users are impatient, dilettantes, passionate, social
UI and UX experience is shaped by B2C media experience
Invest in researchers and analysts to define customer needs
Think audience, not product: be channel flexible
Understand how customers want to consume your content
• “What does the customer do immediately 10 minutes before
and 10 minutes after they use your product?”
Adapt to the needs of the customer, not to the existing product
range
Essential to create multi-media: Text, audio, data and
visual assets

Initial projects offer significant rewards with manageable
risk
Targets help prioritize benefits of initiatives
Targets make things clear and can drive transformative
change
External benchmarking can support target definition
Setting ‘step-change’ targets early on guards against
‘good enough’ and regression
21. 21
