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.

Digital Transformation - another buzzword around the globe, is it? Well, it is a trend of course, but, all of trends has some reason behind them. So, what Digital Transformation stands for? What is transformed? How the transformation is done? Why do we need to transform something? This presentation focuses on answering these questions and understanding what stands behind the trend called Digital Transformation from user experience point of view.
The world is being transformed by new technologies, which are redefining customer expectations, enabling businesses to meet these new expectations, and changing
the way people live and work. Digital transformation, as this is commonly called, has immense potential to change consumer lives, create value for business and unlock
broader societal benefits.
The World Economic Forum launched the Digital Transformation Initiative in 2015, in collaboration with Accenture, to serve as the focal point for new opportunities and
themes arising from the latest developments in the digitalization of business and society. It supports the Forum’s broader activity around the theme of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution. Since its inception, the Initiative has analysed the impact of digital transformation across 13 industries and five cross-industry topics, to identify the
key themes that enable the value generated by digitalization to be captured for business and wider society. Drawing on these themes, we have developed a series of
imperatives for business and policy leaders that look to maximize the benefits of digitalization. We have engaged with more than 300 executives (both from leading
global firms and newer technology disruptors), government and policy leaders, and academics.
Every industry has its nuances and contextual differences, but they all share certain inhibitors to change. These include the innovator’s dilemma (the fear of
cannibalizing existing revenue models), low technology adoption rates across organizations, conservative organizational cultures, and regulatory issues. Business and
government leaders should continue to work towards addressing these challenges.
A notable outcome of this work is the development of our distinctive economic framework, which quantifies the impact of digitalization on industry and society. It can be
applied consistently at all levels of business and government to help unlock the estimated $100 trillion of value that digitalization could create over the next decade. We
have already started to leverage this framework for region-specific discussions with some governments.
We are confident that the findings from the Initiative will contribute to improving the state of the world through digital transformation, both for business and wider society.

My scene setting slides from Whitehall Media's ESICT 2020 conferen ce 24 November 2020. We love in exponential times. The rate of change last century has accelerated this century, but nobody prepared us for the changes in 2020. Now work isn't somewhere you go, it's something you do. We've been around one the planet for 200,000 years. We've been through 3 complicated industrial revolutions, but this fourth one brings us in to the complex. A small change can have massive implications. The small change this year was COVID-19. An virus none of us can see that has changed life and work for all of us. We need different thinking. We need exponential thinking to replace our linear thinking. An agile approach in place of business as usual. An approach where we shift from command and control and hierarchy to a more distributed style of leadership and a flatter organisation. We need to shift power to the edge, to be close to the customer. We need to recognise that digital transformation isn't a project, it needs to be a continuous approach to stay ahead of the competition. To adapt to survive.
The State of Digital Transformation 2018 - 2019 by Brian SolisBrian Solis
"Digital is an enterprise-wide strategic priority — but there's work to be done," according to Brian Solis and Altimeter, a Prophet company.
Now in its fifth year, our annual “State of Digital Transformation” research continues to document the constantly evolving enterprise. As disruptive technologies and their impact on organizations and markets continue to progress, our research aims to capture the shifts and trends that are shaping modern digital transformation.
In 2019, strategic digital transformation is only becoming more pervasive moving beyond IT to impact competitiveness throughout the organization. Budgets are soaring. The list of disruptive technologies on the radar of stakeholders is expanding. Ownership is moving to the C-Suite and managed by cross-functional, collaborative groups. Customer experience (CX) continues to lead digital transformation investments, but as we observed in 2017, employee experience and organizational culture are also rising in importance to empower and accelerate change, growth, and innovation.
Digital Transformation as an Enterprise-Wide Movement
This year, it’s clear that digital transformation is maturing into an enterprise-wide movement. Digital transformation is modernizing how companies work and compete and helping them effectively adapt and grow in an evolving digital economy.
What’s also evident is that there is still much work to do as companies are, by and large, prioritizing technology over grasping the disruptive trends that are influencing markets and, more specifically, customer and employee behaviors and expectations.

The Rise of Digital Darwinism and the Real-world Business Drivers for Digital...Brian Solis
Digital transformation (DX) is shaping the future of business. While it can mean different things to different leaders, DX is about migrating from on-premises and labor-based models to the cloud, then complementing migration with cloud capabilities and agility. But to stop there would miss the full potential of using the cloud to enable DX.
The potential of DX is the sum of its parts: “digital” and “transformation.” Explored in isolation, we’re limited to either the constant pursuit and implementation of new technologies that enhance capabilities or a focus on change to modernize and become more efficient and innovative. Combined, they represent the future of business, how it operates, how it serves customers and employees, and how it adapts to industry evolution.
DX is continuous, never ends, and never a “won and done” series of checked boxes. DX is how organizations continually respond to disruptive events, trends, and technologies – beyond IT. The most effective partners in a DX journey explore existing states and capabilities within, benchmark those results against industry best practices and customer needs, and apply those insights to a strategic digital transformation plan of their own.
Future-proofing public sector and commercial businesses starts with future-proofing partner businesses. The PTP is an accelerator to drive DX and business modernization from B2B all the way to B2C. The PTP provides partners with the guidance to accelerate the development of their AWS skills and expertise to better serve their government, education, or nonprofit and also commercial customers’ journeys to the cloud.
Introducing the AWS Partner Transformation Program eBook
For PTP partners to get started, AWS created a DX playbook “The AWS Partner Transformation Program: Setting the Stage to Transformation Your Business.”
The eBook explores digital trends, DX methodologies, and the needs and areas of opportunity for partner organizations. The eBook can help PTP partners chart a “transformation plan” to set the stage for their customers’ digital transformation.
The time is now to future-proof your business to future-proof your customer's business.
In today’s business environment, digital transformation has turned into a necessity to cope with persistent business needs of customer acquisition and brand building. However, the prospect of revamping is an opportunity offered by Digitalization and successfully transformed businesses can become industry leaders to dominate the market.
Also, companies should know that disruption is at the core of such a change and the only way to succeed is to create and follow a comprehensive plan. Moreover, the disruptive technologies can be adopted smartly to propel strategic growth.
As the future is all about innovative technologies such as Augmented Reality, IoT, Virtual Reality, etc., digitalization would eventually become the way of life, and the firms that can keep abreast with the digital macrocosm have better chance to succeed.
Many organisations are struggling to implement and drive their digital transformations. Only about 30% of digital transformations efforts actually succeed. Mostly because going digital is a complex process with many internal and external pressures. Organisations need to understand what transformations entails, avoid the pitfalls and and carefully consider each facet of digital transformation. Only then can they turn ambition into achievement. In this playbook, we have identified the nine traits of companies that win at digital transformation. We will see what defined their success and how they achieved it. And we will discuss how we can help companies reach their digital transformations goals.

Digital transformation guide
1. Jemoza Digital Transformation Guide
What is Digital Transformation
Digital tools and technology are changing how people interact, and in turn these
changes how people do business. All around us technology is quickly changing how we
live work and play. Digital transformation refers to how a company has or is
transforming its core business processes using digital technology in order to gain
competitive advantage and gain differentiation in its market segment.
It refers to the streamlining of business process through digital computer applications
and hardware to achieve collaboration and interaction between its partners as well as
provide greater customer value.
Technological evolutions and technologies, ranging from the cloud, Big Data,
analytics, artificial intelligence and mobile/mobility (a key game changer) to the IoT and
more recent emerging technological realities are 1) enablers of digital transformation
and/or, 2) causes of digital transformation needs (among others as they impact behavior
of consumers or reshape entire industries, as in the digital transformation of
manufacturing, and/or 3) accelerators of innovation and transformation. Yet, technology
is only part of the equation as digital transformation is by definition holistic.
The enterprise is under pressure these days to implement a digital transformation
strategy, and in all likelihood the executive suite is calling for dramatically faster change
than what IT considers prudent. But with services like Uber and Airbnb showing how
easy it is to tip over entire industries with little more than a cell phone app, the need to
shift infrastructure, processes and even core business models to a digital services
footing is urgent to say the least.
Digital transformation is on the radar of many organizations. In order to reap similar
benefits, it’s important to focus on real business and customer challenges, have a clear
– often staged – approach, prioritize and involve all stakeholders in any digital
transformation process.
While digital transformation is predominantly used in a business context, it also impacts
other organizations such as governments, public sector agencies and organizations
which are involved in tackling societal challenges such as pollution and aging
populations by leveraging one or more of these existing and emerging technologies. In
the scope of this digital transformation overview, we mainly look at the business
dimension.
Digital disruption
On top of being one of the most hyped terms of the last few years (as is digital
transformation as such), digital disruption is mainly used in the sense that an industry,
way of doing business or ecosystem (e.g. societal) is significantly challenged by
2. existing (mostly tech) companies, newcomers or incumbents who have mastered digital
business skillsets and came up with solutions, business models and approaches that
cause a significant shift in customer behavior and market context, requiring existing
players (which can include ‘digital businesses’) to change their strategies as well.
However, disruption is certainly not only about those initiatives by newcomers or
incumbents with disruptive approaches. Disruption in the end is about people,
customers.
If you ask us what the biggest disruptive technologies will be next it’s the Internet of
Things, along with cognitive/AI, Big Data and systems of intelligence
Digital Business transformation arears
• Business activities/functions: marketing, operations, human resources,
administration, customer service, etc.
• Business processes: one or more connected operations, activities and sets to
achieve a specific business goal, whereby business process management,
business process optimization and business process automation come into the
picture. Business process optimization is essential in digital transformation
strategies and in some industries and cases is essentially customer-facing today,
whereas in others internal goals come first in initial stages.
• Business models: how businesses function, from the go-to-market approach
and value proposition to the ways it seeks to make money and effectively
transforms its core business, tapping into novel revenue sources and
approaches, sometimes even dropping the traditional core business after a while.
• Business ecosystems: the networks of partners and stakeholders, as well as
contextual factors affecting the business such as regulatory or economic
priorities and evolutions. New ecosystems are built between companies with
various background upon the fabric of digital transformation, information,
whereby data and actionable intelligence become innovation assets.
3. • Business asset management: whereby the focus lies on traditional assets but,
increasingly, on less ‘tangible’ assets such as information and
customers (enhancing customer experience is a leading goal of many digital
transformation “projects” and information is the lifeblood of business,
technological evolutions and of any human relationship). Both customers and
information need to be treated as real assets in all perspectives.
• Organizational culture, whereby there is a clear customer-centric, agile and
hyper-aware goal which is achieved by acquiring core competencies across the
board in areas such as digital maturity, leadership, knowledge worker silos and
so forth.
• Ecosystem and partnership models, with among others a rise of co-operative,
collaborative, co-creating and, last but not least, entirely new business
ecosystem approaches, leading to new business models and revenue sources.
• Customer, worker and partner approaches. Digital transformation puts people
and strategy before technology. The changing behavior, expectations and needs
of any stakeholder are crucial. This is expressed in many change subprojects
whereby customer-centricity, user experience, worker empowerment, new
workplace models, changing channel partner dynamics etc. (can) all come in the
picture. It’s important to note that digital technologies never are the sole answer
to tackle any of these human aspects, from worker satisfaction to customer
experience enhancement. People involve, respect and empower other people in
the first place, technology is an additional enabler and part of the equation of
choice and fundamental needs.
Digital transformation framework
There will soon be over a billion smartphones, impacting all aspects of organizations’
value chains, commerce, and customer and supplier engagement processes. This
transformation will result in an explosion in digital data and more importantly, usable
insight. And the smartphone isn’t the only digital technology driving business
transformation. Other technologies like sensors, beacons, scanners, RFID (radio
frequency identification), NFC (near field communications), GPS (global positioning
4. systems), Bluetooth, web clicks, social media postings, digital newsfeeds, smart
watches, fitness bands, video surveillance, drones, robotics, etc. are all contributing to
the digitalization of our physical world.
However, in spite of all the advances in virtual and augmented reality, the physical world
is not going away. We will still need to live in homes, wear clothes, eat food, wash
dishes, paint bathrooms, ride in vehicles, fly in airplanes, go to movies and malls,
exercise, sleep, etc. And companies are still going to manufacture products and provide
services to support the wide variety of physical needs. Companies are still going to
need a value creation process (or value chain), which are the activities an organization
performs to add value to a product or service, including design, procurement,
production, logistics, marketing, sales and service.
Digitalization transformation will not replace the physical world; it will augment it.
Likewise, digital transformation will not replace an organization’s value creation
processes; it will augment it! Digital transformation extends and expands the
opportunities for organizations to create additional and new customer, product and
market value.
So the key question for organizations contemplating this digital transformation is where
and how can the organization exploit these digital technologies in a way that augments
or expands their business models; that is, where and how do organizations apply digital
technologies and the resulting data to optimize key business processes, uncover new
monetization opportunities and create a more compelling customer experience?
Here's the answer:
Prerequisite steps
• Identify opportunities for growth
• Identify opportunities for innovation
• Identify new sales opportunities
• Employ the most effective marketing tactics for your business
• Understand if and how you can take on your digital competitors
• Identify capability gaps
• Select or create the right technology to deliver transformation
• All using data driven decision making.
The framework
Digitizing the Customer Experience
Customers are clearly the most important stakeholder of any organization. In order to
serve customers in the best possible way, it’s essential to know them, which until
recently was only possible through companies’ internal systems. Using CRM,
companies can identify which products a particular customer has historically purchased;
5. now, better analysis can be performed through the Internet: What complementary
products do similar customers buy who have a similar purchasing history?
We call these digital footprints that consumers leave behind in their day-to-day online
behavior a Code Halo™, or the digital field of information that accumulates not only
around customers, but also around processes, organizations and devices.1 Based on
information derived from social media, organizations can link certain consumer
preferences to potential buying habits. Every action that consumers take, in both the
physical and virtual worlds, contributes to the growth of Code Halos.
Customer insights acquired through digital technology can also be used for digital
marketing. In today’s connected world, the first thing that consumers and business
customers often do when researching a purchase is to check the Internet, exploring
Web sites and their own personal networks and communities for advice and rankings
before they decide to buy. To be competitive, organizations must provide up-to-date
product information online and engage with online communities to provide advice on
their products. Since customers and businesses are increasingly active and identifiable
online, organizations can use digital marketing tools to personalize their product and
service promotions, with the goal of increasing customer loyalty.
With new channels of interaction, such as mobile and social media, customers now
expect all their engagements with the company to be consistent across all available
channels. For instance, they expect to place an order when and where it’s most
convenient for them, and then to receive their products through the channel of their
choosing. If organizations do not enable such an omni-channel approach, they risk
losing customers and increasing customer dissatisfaction.
Omni-channel communication and service is, therefore, key. It is no longer a question of
whether your organization should act on this but when, as consistent and efficient
interactions across channels are now a crucial requirement for competing in the digital
world. Leverage an understanding of an individual customer’s tendencies, preferences,
behaviors, propensities, trends, interests, passions, associations and affiliations to
provide a more rewarding customer and partner experience is a must.
Digitizing Products and Services
Organizations today increasingly realize they can no longer focus on just selling
products; they need to sell an experience. An increasing number of products today both
consume and generate data, and many are interconnected through the Web. Because
of this increased intelligence, their usage can be monitored, additional services can be
proactively offered, or maintenance can be provided when a problem is detected. A
good example is a smart toothbrush with sensors scanning your teeth for any problems.
The physical tool itself is a commodity, but a user’s brushing habits, dental hygiene
history and health needs create a Code Halo of information of premium value.
Information can be sent to the dentist, who can provide feedback and advice or
schedule an appointment. The Code Halo can also be used by the device manufacturer
6. to make product improvements. As it becomes easier and more affordable to make
products Code Halo-capable, the question will soon become not what to wrap with a
Code Halo but what not to wrap with a Code Halo.
To create such experiences, customers should be taken on a journey through the
process. To accomplish this, organizations need to think about how they can stay in
touch with customers all along their journey. Below is an example of what this could
look like for a car manufacturer
“The New Car Buying Journey
Here is an example of what could happen for an auto manufacturer that has made the
digital transformation. A customer walks into an online showroom, where he can chat
with a salesperson and even take the car for a virtual test drive.
The virtual salesperson makes an offer that the customer can accept or reject on his
tablet, or visit the physical showroom for further negotiation. Once the initial offer is
saved on the auto manufacturer’s system, the salesperson can proceed rapidly.
Once the customer decides to order the car, he can use an app on his mobile device to
track the car’s movement through the entire manufacturing process, making him feel
connected to the whole experience. Once he owns the car, installed sensors alert both
the customer and the car manufacturer to when certain parts need replacement or
servicing, enabling the customer or manufacturer to take action before a problem
occurs.
Another app can keep tabs on the customer’s level of satisfaction or invite suggestions
for improvement. This input can then be further discussed in a social media-based
forum, on which other owners of the same type of car are active. If an issue comes up
that appears to be a real point of concern, the car manufacturer can work to ensure the
improvement is incorporated into new models of the car or into the sales or servicing
process.”
As organizations implement more sophisticated ways to understand their customers,
expectations will rise for product and service offerings that are tailored to individual
customer needs. Organizations can accomplish this by breaking up products into
smaller pieces (modules) and then rebuilding the product with the pieces that are
relevant to the needs of the customer. Such “mass customization” is often focused on
software and service components, as they are easiest
to adjust. Mass customization is being adopted across industries and is likely to
increase as a result of digital technology. Examples include customized LED lighting for
homes, animal feed mixes for farmers, individually designed sport shoes, etc.
By analyzing customer behavior on social media, it is possible to predict their usage of a
business’s products and their level of satisfaction, enabling organizations to anticipate
customer needs before they even make them clear and before problems arise.
7. Because they can easily access vast volumes of information and switch suppliers with
the click of a mouse or tap on a touchscreen, consumers no longer feel compelled to
pay for products or services they don’t want or need. They only want to pay for what
they use, requiring organizations to respond in kind. For example, publishers might let
customers pay per article instead of for the whole newspaper, like the “Blendle” initiative
in The Netherlands. A combination of subscriptions based on pay-per-use is possible,
with articles from different newspapers being combined into one overview. New pricing
models — such as charging extra for upgraded service — are also possible, but
because pricing has become so transparent, companies should proceed with caution. If
pricing is inexplicably high, this could backfire.
Digitizing Operations
Advanced digital technology, powered by the SMAC Stack and aided by sensors, can
improve business processes in several ways. For example, big data analytics can help
in-bound logistics run more smoothly by tracking product movements; the cloud can be
used to create uniform business processing platforms; and mobile platforms can enable
employees to perform their work anytime, anywhere and on any device. Standard cloud
platforms offer feature and functionality updates more quickly and can lower testing
costs.
When using standardized platforms, either within a large organization (as a propriety
platform) or as an open-market standard, it is also much easier to globally source
processes, which can lead to substantial cost reductions. Based on our own experience,
aggressive sourcing and offshoring can cut up to 50% of operational costs. More
organizations are choosing to do this across a larger variety of business processes and
IT services.
By automating, standardizing and globally sourcing processes, organizations can
become more agile, more responsive to changes in demand, and better able to increase
and sustain profitability. Such agility is essential as competitiveness is increasingly
dependent on responding and anticipating to fast-changing market developments
through human intervention; artificial intelligence and automated machines are not yet
fully able to respond. Therefore, organizations must adopt an agile way of working.
IT organizations have successfully adopted Agile practices, enabling quicker product
development and organizational transformation. And because new products and
software are developed and implemented more quickly, organizations should be able to
transform at the same pace and adapt more quickly to continuous, sudden and rapid
change. Using Code Halos will enable businesses to identify the changes that are
needed. Organizations also need to enable employees the flexibility and freedom to
work anytime, anywhere and on any device.
Digitizing the Organization
8. With value chains increasingly integrated among businesses, organizations can become
part of a larger ecosystem, enabling them to offer end-to-end services to their
customers. Digital solutions can support value chain players to work more closely
together. Organizations can either shape and orchestrate an ecosystem themselves,
and provide a significant number of products and services, or focus on a niche service
that adds value to the customer experience and become part of an already existing
ecosystem. Organizations that shape and orchestrate an ecosystem and introduce their
standards into the industry value chain, like Airbus and Walmart, tend to become
dominant players in global markets.
To work effectively within an integrated ecosystem, employees need to work together in
a new way, breaking down silos and collaborating across different departments.
Employees need to learn from each other in order to respond more quickly and
consistently to changes in the market and within their own organization. Geographically
dispersed employees need collaboration tools to share documents, ideas, contacts,
experiences and knowledge so that they avoid “reinventing the wheel” and provide the
business with enhanced value. Corporate cultures also need to move toward a digital
mindset; innovation should be rewarded, and additional digital expertise can be brought
in to help employees embrace the digital world and acquire the necessary skills and
knowledge.
Digital collaboration today stretches beyond the borders of the organization, with
communities co-creating products or services, and customers providing opinions and
suggestions for product improvements through online forums. In this way, customers can
influence product development, benefiting both themselves and the business.
Bottom-line: Digital business transformation is about integrating the growing body of
digital technologies and the resulting customer, product and operational data (insights)
into your organizations physical value creation capabilities to yield new sources of
intellectual capital (data and analytics), competitive differentiation and customer insight.
Leveraging superior customer, product and operational insights to identify “white
spaces” or under-served, un-served or un-met market that yield new monetization
opportunities (e.g., new products, new services, new partners, new channels).
