The Digital Transformation Symphony:
When IT and Business Play in Sync
2
Successful Digital Transformation Hinges on a
Strong IT-Business Relationship
CIO leadership is essential for success in
a rapidly changing digital world.
To test the truth of this statement, we
need look no further than Starbucks.
When Stephen Gillett took over as CIO
of Starbucks in 2008, the company was
going through one of its most difficult
phases. Starbucks’ stock price had lost
half its value in less than two years and
its same-store sales were declining.
The company needed to do something
dramatic to rev up growth and its CIO
stepped up to the challenge. In early
2009, Stephen Gillett pitched the idea of
setting up a new business unit focused
on digital innovation and customer
engagement to the company’s executive
council. Gillett’s vision for the unit –
which was christened “Digital Ventures”
– involved fusing the marketing team’s
product and consumer knowledge with
Figure 1: Role of the IT-Business Relationship in Digital Transformation – Comparison of Digital Masters and
non-Masters
the IT team’s technical expertise, in order
to deliver a digitally enhanced customer
experience at Starbucks stores1
. This
was IT-business collaboration in action.
As the original architect of Digital
Ventures2
, Gillett laid the foundations
of a strong digital team. He hired
Adam Brotman, an entrepreneur with
experience in running digital startups. In
the years that followed, Digital Ventures
went on to deliver a range of innovations
that played a pivotal role in Starbucks’
turnaround. These included “Starbucks
Digital Network” that gave in-store
customers access to premium digital
content, as well as a mobile payments
program linked to the company’s loyalty
cards3

After Gillett moved on from Starbucks in
2012, Brotman took over as Chief Digital
Officer and head of Digital Ventures.
Under Brotman, Digital Ventures has
continued to drive Starbucks’ digital
ambitions. Today, the company’s stock
price has risen in value by more than
10-times in less than 6 years, from $7.17
per share in November 2008 to $75 per
share in March 20144
.
Starbucks’ dramatic success is a powerful
lesson in collaboration. As CIO, Gillett
collaborated closely with Starbucks CMO
Annie Young-Scrivner to develop technical
as well as go-to-market strategies. In
Gillett’s words, “Collaboration means IT
is integrated with customer offerings and
loyalty programs. You need both sides of
the business to bring these efforts to life.5

Digital Masters
differentiate themselves
from their peers by
consciously striving
to build a close
relationship between IT
and the business.

However, Digital Masters are exceptions.
The IT-business relationship in most
organizations is often a fractious
relationship rather than a marriage of
equals. Business teams often find the
IT department’s high costs and long
implementation timelines unacceptable.
In addition, IT leaders are often faulted for
not speaking the language of business. A
recent survey highlights this disconnect.
When CIOs were asked whether CEOs
saw them as their company’s digital
leaders, 47% responded in the affirmative.
However, when CEOs were asked about
their company’s digital leaders, only 15%
named the CIO7
. Such a disconnect
contributes to business executives
overlooking the IT department’s role in
Digital Transformation.
Our 3-year research with the MIT Center
for Digital Business also underscores
the significance of a strong partnership
between IT and the business in driving
successful Digital Transformation6
. Digital
Masters, such as Starbucks, that leverage
digital technologies effectively, differentiate
themselves from their peers by consciously
striving to build a close relationship between
IT and the business. This relationship is
founded on a shared understanding of the
impact of IT on driving productivity and

The use of DevOps
practices helps break
down silos between
IT development and
operations teams and
leads to more rapid
deployment cycles.
Digital initiatives
call for a new working
model that harmonizes
the expertise of IT
and business teams
and promotes greater
dialogue and mutual
understanding between
them.
Redesigning the IT Department Unlocks
Digital Innovation
Leading CIOs recognize that digital
initiatives need to be run at a distinctly
differentrhythmcomparedtotraditionalIT
programs. While traditional IT programs
follow stable and predictable lifecycles
that last several years, digital initiatives,
especially those involving customer-
facing processes, have a much shorter
time-to-market and need to be more
flexible and adaptive to change. Leading
CIOs redesign the IT department so
that it can run at dual-speed. In addition
to ensuring that traditional projects
continue to run reliably, they develop
strategies that support the rapid rollout
of digital initiatives.
Create a Digital IT Unit with
a Cross-Functional Team
Structure
Successful Digital Transformation requires
that both IT and business teams work
together towards a common vision
and goal. This in turn requires a shift
from the traditional IT-business working
relationship, where the two teams operate
separately, with business providing
the requirements and IT delivering the
technology. Digital initiatives call for a
new working model that harmonizes
the expertise of both teams and
promotes greater dialogue and mutual
understanding between them.
Leading CIOs help create such a working
model by setting up a digital IT unit
with a cross-functional team structure.
Members from both IT and business
teams work together as part of the digital
IT unit, with common budgets, KPIs
and objectives. Such a cross-functional
team structure brings a business focus
to digital initiatives. It also serves to
reduce costs and duplication of efforts,
and speeds up time to market for digital
initiatives8
. UK-based Lloyds Banking
Group, for instance, owes much of its
success with digital retail banking to its
digital services unit. The unit is led jointly
by a senior IT executive and a senior
business executive, which ensures
that digital initiatives are developed
holistically. Not only does the unit deliver
the technology solutions for the bank’s
new digital retail banking initiatives, but
it also ensures that business processes
are adapted appropriately.
Use a Test-and-Learn
Strategy for Digital
Initiatives
Leading CIOs rely on experimentation to
rapidly test the business impact of digital
initiatives before they initiate large-scale
deployments. For instance, in 2012, then
Philips CIO Jeroen Tas set up the “Digital
Accelerator Lab” to speed up digital
innovation. The lab creates use-cases
for connected products and rapidly
builds prototypes of devices and apps9
.
These prototypes then go through user
testing to gauge customer responses10
.
As head of the lab, Tas worked closely
with business teams to develop and take
new product ideas to market. The lab
served to inter-connect various business
units within Philips, which otherwise
operated in silos. It brought together
their expertise to develop solutions that
offer customers a holistic connected
experience11
.
Graduate to a Continuous
Deployment Model for
Digital Initiatives
Successful Digital Transformation
requires a highly agile approach to
software development. Software
development methodologies such as
DevOps12
help organizations break
down silos between IT development
and operations teams so that they
can collaborate more effectively.
DevOps helps align development and
operations processes to common
business objectives. It ensures that
both teams operate more smoothly
together. This in turn leads to the
early detection and correction of
problems and results in more rapid
software releases. A global survey
of IT executives revealed that
teams that were following DevOps
practices for the longest duration
shipped code up to 30 times faster
than their peers13
. For instance, the
use of DevOps has enabled online
payments firm PayPal to reduce
the time taken to deploy apps from
weeks to days14
. At Lloyds Banking
Group, which has more than 10
million Internet banking users and
processes 110 million transactions
each day15
, the use of DevOps
has helped accelerate the pace of
Digital Transformation. Nick Stemp,
5
principal lead architect at Lloyds
Banking Group highlights how
the use of DevOps has improved
software development efficiency at the
bank: “We’re seeing more defects in
development, which is where we want
to see them. People doing the testing
can do the fix, which saves us doing the
fixes later in the lifecycle [where it is more
costly]16
”
UK Government Digital Service:A Success Story in IT-led Digital Transformation
In late 2010, the UK Government embarked on a Digital Transformation journey when it announced that public services
should be delivered by default through digital channels. The government’s decision was in response to a report published
by Martha Lane Fox, then UK Digital Champion and one of the most influential leaders in UK IT. The report called for a
radical improvement in the government’s online services to provide higher quality and more convenient 24/7 services to
users.
Defining a Clear Digital Strategy and Vision: The government set up the Government Digital Service (GDS)
in 2011, by merging its existing, disparate digital teams. GDS was built with the vision to be “the center for digital
government in the UK, building and championing a ‘digital culture’ that puts the user first and delivers the best, low cost
public services possible.”
Laying Down a Strong Governance Framework for Transformation: Central to GDS’ governance strategy
was the setting up of a dual-speed IT structure. GDS consisted of two distinct teams - the digital unit, which was tasked
with the delivery of digital services, and the technology team, which was responsible for running traditional or “Mission IT”.
Mission IT comprised Line of Business applications that ran the internal processes of individual departments. GDS also
developed a comprehensive framework for the management of the two teams and their interactions.
Adopting a Highly Agile Approach to Software Development: GDS needed to move swiftly in order to meet its
ambitious goal of fully digitizing 25 of the most crucial public services by March 2015. To achieve its goal, GDS developed
a comprehensive “Government Service Design Manual”. The manual offered customized resources to all digital teams,
on the merits of using methods such as DevOps and Agile to achieve operational excellence. In addition, Agile coaches
were employed to complement the work of transformation teams. As a result of these initiatives, the GOV.UK website saw
more than 1500 application updates in its first year alone.
The GDS has so far transformed 22 of the most significant UK public services. The overall transformation is expected to
deliver between £1.7 billion and £1.8 billion in annual savings to the government as well as service users.

provides a strong foundation for an
organization’s future growth (see insert

At Kellogg’s, CIO
Brian Rice collaborated
closely with the CMO
to build a standardized,
global web-based
platform that helps
marketing teams
target customers more
effectively.
In recent years, a successful platform has
emerged as a key source of competitive
advantage for organizations.
A successful example of the power of
a platform is Amazon. By organizing
itself internally around a service-
oriented architecture, Amazon ensured
that internal teams as well as external
partners could rapidly build their own
applications using Amazon’s open APIs.
A platform-focused strategy has helped
Amazon create a vast ecosystem of
services, allowing it to scale much more
rapidly.
A Strong Digital Platform gives Digital Initiatives
a Shot in the Arm
Lloyds Banking Group:Reinventing IT for the Digital Age
In 2006, Lloyds Banking Group (then Lloyds TSB) began to realize that its online retail platform could not scale to meet
its future needs. Soon after, following a merger with Halifax Bank of Scotland, the bank’s online banking customer base
expanded dramatically from 1.5 million to 5 million. At this point, the bank was faced with two options. The first option was
to undertake a re-platforming exercise that would modernize critical aspects of the platform so that it could meet current
requirements. The second option was to build an entirely new platform that would last for decades but require a huge
upfront investment. The bank chose the second option. The decision proved to be the right one as the platform has played
a vital role in the bank’s Digital Transformation success. Today, Lloyds Banking Group has more than 10 million active digital
customers and accounts for £1.5 trillion in digital commercial client transactions per year.
Lloyds Banking Group’s Digital Transformation journey offers many useful lessons. These include:
Realizing the Central Role of IT in Digital Transformation: It is no longer sufficient for IT to just align its priorities
with business objectives. IT must be central to a firm’s Digital Transformation journey. LBG’s executive team realized this
very early. They asked a senior IT executive, Zak Mian, and a senior business executive, Ashley Machin, to set up a digital
team and work together to speed-up digital innovation.
Creating a Successful IT-Business Relationship: Having business and IT work together on digital initiatives
ensured that they were both equally involved in creating the blueprint for the bank’s Digital Transformation. It brought down
the “walls” that traditionally existed between the teams, promoted dialogue and created greater mutual understanding and
trust between IT and the business. This in turn reduced costs and process delays, and accelerated time-to-market for
digital initiatives.
Building a Successful Digital Platform to Drive Future Growth: The digital team built a scalable digital platform
as the first step towards the bank’s Digital Transformation. The team then extended the platform to new digital services,
such as credit card processing. The success of the platform initiative led to other businesses, such as mortgages and
commercial products, seeking out Mian and Machin to help with the Digital Transformation of their businesses.
Enable Business Teams to
Rapidly Rollout New Digital
Initiatives
Leading CIOs invest in building
successful platforms that can act as
engines of growth for their organizations.
At Kellogg’s, for instance, CIO Brian
Rice collaborated closely with Kellogg’s
CMO to build a standardized, global
web-based platform that supports
the marketing teams at Kellogg’s in
numerous ways. For instance, the

Leading CIOs empower business teams
to build their own solutions. Rather than
trying to own all IT and implementation

Karaboutis are comfortable with sharing
control with business teams. At Dell,
Karaboutis’s team built a self-service
platform that allows business teams
to test their own product ideas. The IT
department then helps business teams
take their ideas to production. Karaboutis
describes the rationale behind her focus
on self-service in these words: “The line

Leading CIOs radically
rationalize existing
IT infrastructure, so
that the resultant cost
savings can be diverted
to digital innovation.
Rationalizing IT Infrastructure Provides Sustained
Funding for Digital Initiatives
Digital innovation requires sustained
funding. Our research with the MIT
Sloan Management Review shows
that lack of funding is one of the most
significant organizational barriers to Digital
Transformation (see Figure 4)19

Figure 4: Organizational Barriers to Digital Transformation
Leading CIOs focus on improving the
efficiencyoftraditionalIToperations,sothat
the resultant cost savings can be diverted
to digital innovation. They do so by radically
rationalizing existing IT infrastructure in
order to reduce the complexity of the IT
landscape. This complexity stems from
the large number of redundant and heavily
customized systems and applications that
organizations accumulate over time. Infact,
in a survey of senior IT leaders conducted
by Capgemini in 2014, 48% of respondents
reported that their organizations had more
applications than the business actually
required20
. In order to reduce complexity
dramatically, leading CIOs opt for massive
IT consolidation and simplification
initiatives. Consolidation involves a
planned reduction in IT assets either by
centralization of infrastructure or by the
use of fewer, more efficient systems. IT
simplification, on the other hand, involves
the standardization of applications and
tools, and the use of reusable assets as
far as possible.
For Phil Jordan, Group CIO at Telefonica,
consolidation and simplification of IT
infrastructure have been two of the
key pillars of Telefonica’s global IT
strategy. Under Phil’s leadership, Telefonica
decommissioned 1,139 applications in
2013 alone. The number of systems in use
has reduced from 7,000 to 4,200 in three
years. Phil has also launched programs on
multi-country consolidation of IT assets,
as well as one of the largest private Cloud
implementations in Europe. The use of
off-the-shelf Cloud-based solutions
has helped Telefonica cut costs
significantly21
. Jordan’s focus on IT
rationalization has contributed to a €14
billion debt reduction for Telefonica which
helped the company return to revenue
growth22
. It has also helped drive
business transformation at Telefonica
by strengthening the company’s digital
capabilities in self-care and marketing23
.

Under CIO Phil Jordan’s
leadership, Telefonica
decommissioned 1,139
applications in 2013
alone.
At semiconductor major Analog Devices,
CIO Peter Forte launched a three-
year effort to rationalize the company’s
legacy infrastructure in order to deliver
savings that could be used for new
product development. Forte’s focus on
virtualization resulted in millions of dollars
of savings, which were poured back into
innovation. As a result of the CIO’s efforts,
the proportion of the IT budget spent on
maintaining legacy infrastructure has
reduced from over 80% to 62%24
.
The role of IT in enabling Digital
Transformation cannot be overstated.
However, it is only when IT and
business come together that true Digital
Transformation can be achieved. CIOs
can play a vital role in making this
possible. By continually striving to align
the IT department with the needs of
the business, CIOs can contribute
significantly towards strengthening the
IT-business relationship and helping their
organizations advance confidently into
the digital future.

When IT and Business Play in Sync

  • 1. The Digital Transformation Symphony: When IT and Business Play in Sync
  • 2. 2 Successful Digital Transformation Hinges on a Strong IT-Business Relationship CIO leadership is essential for success in a rapidly changing digital world. To test the truth of this statement, we need look no further than Starbucks. When Stephen Gillett took over as CIO of Starbucks in 2008, the company was going through one of its most difficult phases. Starbucks’ stock price had lost half its value in less than two years and its same-store sales were declining. The company needed to do something dramatic to rev up growth and its CIO stepped up to the challenge. In early 2009, Stephen Gillett pitched the idea of setting up a new business unit focused on digital innovation and customer engagement to the company’s executive council. Gillett’s vision for the unit – which was christened “Digital Ventures” – involved fusing the marketing team’s product and consumer knowledge with Figure 1: Role of the IT-Business Relationship in Digital Transformation – Comparison of Digital Masters and non-Masters the IT team’s technical expertise, in order to deliver a digitally enhanced customer experience at Starbucks stores1 . This was IT-business collaboration in action. As the original architect of Digital Ventures2 , Gillett laid the foundations of a strong digital team. He hired Adam Brotman, an entrepreneur with experience in running digital startups. In the years that followed, Digital Ventures went on to deliver a range of innovations that played a pivotal role in Starbucks’ turnaround. These included “Starbucks Digital Network” that gave in-store customers access to premium digital content, as well as a mobile payments program linked to the company’s loyalty cards3 . 93% 92% 93% 75% 65% 61% 59% 53% ...a shared understanding of the role of IT in our organization …a shared view of the role of IT as a competitive weapon for our organization …a common view about the prioritization of IT investments Digital Transformation is likely to involve... % of respondents agreeing with the statement Digital Masters are companies that leverage digital technologies to transform their businesses Digital Masters Non-Masters …a shared understanding of how IT can be used to increase the productivity of our organization's operations Source: Capgemini Consulting and MIT Center for Digital Business, 2012 After Gillett moved on from Starbucks in 2012, Brotman took over as Chief Digital Officer and head of Digital Ventures. Under Brotman, Digital Ventures has continued to drive Starbucks’ digital ambitions. Today, the company’s stock price has risen in value by more than 10-times in less than 6 years, from $7.17 per share in November 2008 to $75 per share in March 20144 . Starbucks’ dramatic success is a powerful lesson in collaboration. As CIO, Gillett collaborated closely with Starbucks CMO Annie Young-Scrivner to develop technical as well as go-to-market strategies. In Gillett’s words, “Collaboration means IT is integrated with customer offerings and loyalty programs. You need both sides of the business to bring these efforts to life.5 ”
  • 3. 3 Digital Masters differentiate themselves from their peers by consciously striving to build a close relationship between IT and the business. 47%ofCIOsinasurvey reportedthattheir CEOssawthemastheir company’sdigitalleaders –however,only15%ofthe CEOsinthesamesurvey namedtheCIOastheir company’sdigital leader. However, Digital Masters are exceptions. The IT-business relationship in most organizations is often a fractious relationship rather than a marriage of equals. Business teams often find the IT department’s high costs and long implementation timelines unacceptable. In addition, IT leaders are often faulted for not speaking the language of business. A recent survey highlights this disconnect. When CIOs were asked whether CEOs saw them as their company’s digital leaders, 47% responded in the affirmative. However, when CEOs were asked about their company’s digital leaders, only 15% named the CIO7 . Such a disconnect contributes to business executives overlooking the IT department’s role in Digital Transformation. Our 3-year research with the MIT Center for Digital Business also underscores the significance of a strong partnership between IT and the business in driving successful Digital Transformation6 . Digital Masters, such as Starbucks, that leverage digital technologies effectively, differentiate themselves from their peers by consciously striving to build a close relationship between IT and the business. This relationship is founded on a shared understanding of the impact of IT on driving productivity and Figure 2: How Can CIOs Help Build a Strong IT-Business Partnership? Redesign the IT Department to Boost Digital Innovation Create a digital IT unit with a cross-functional team structure Rely on rapid iterations to test digital initiatives Shorten software release cycles to weeks, days or even hours Invest in building digital platforms that enable business teams to meet their growth objectives Provide an environment for business teams to innovate rapidly Develop a Strong Digital Platform Take radical measures to create a simpler and more cost-effective IT infrastructure Consolidate and standardize IT assets and leverage reusable components Rationalize the IT Landscape to Reinvest Savings on Digital Innovation Leading CIOs take this disconnect head on and try and fix it. Our research shows that these IT leaders take three key actions to align the IT department with the needs of the business (see Figure 2). These actions help improve the IT-business relationship over time. We explore each of these actions in the sections that follow. competitive advantage. Ninety-three percent of the Digital Masters in our research reported that their business and IT teams shared a common understanding about the role of IT in the organization, in contrast to 65% of non- Masters (see Figure 1).

  • 4. 4 The use of DevOps practices helps break down silos between IT development and operations teams and leads to more rapid deployment cycles. Digital initiatives call for a new working model that harmonizes the expertise of IT and business teams and promotes greater dialogue and mutual understanding between them. Redesigning the IT Department Unlocks Digital Innovation Leading CIOs recognize that digital initiatives need to be run at a distinctly differentrhythmcomparedtotraditionalIT programs. While traditional IT programs follow stable and predictable lifecycles that last several years, digital initiatives, especially those involving customer- facing processes, have a much shorter time-to-market and need to be more flexible and adaptive to change. Leading CIOs redesign the IT department so that it can run at dual-speed. In addition to ensuring that traditional projects continue to run reliably, they develop strategies that support the rapid rollout of digital initiatives. Create a Digital IT Unit with a Cross-Functional Team Structure Successful Digital Transformation requires that both IT and business teams work together towards a common vision and goal. This in turn requires a shift from the traditional IT-business working relationship, where the two teams operate separately, with business providing the requirements and IT delivering the technology. Digital initiatives call for a new working model that harmonizes the expertise of both teams and promotes greater dialogue and mutual understanding between them. Leading CIOs help create such a working model by setting up a digital IT unit with a cross-functional team structure. Members from both IT and business teams work together as part of the digital IT unit, with common budgets, KPIs and objectives. Such a cross-functional team structure brings a business focus to digital initiatives. It also serves to reduce costs and duplication of efforts, and speeds up time to market for digital initiatives8 . UK-based Lloyds Banking Group, for instance, owes much of its success with digital retail banking to its digital services unit. The unit is led jointly by a senior IT executive and a senior business executive, which ensures that digital initiatives are developed holistically. Not only does the unit deliver the technology solutions for the bank’s new digital retail banking initiatives, but it also ensures that business processes are adapted appropriately. Use a Test-and-Learn Strategy for Digital Initiatives Leading CIOs rely on experimentation to rapidly test the business impact of digital initiatives before they initiate large-scale deployments. For instance, in 2012, then Philips CIO Jeroen Tas set up the “Digital Accelerator Lab” to speed up digital innovation. The lab creates use-cases for connected products and rapidly builds prototypes of devices and apps9 . These prototypes then go through user testing to gauge customer responses10 . As head of the lab, Tas worked closely with business teams to develop and take new product ideas to market. The lab served to inter-connect various business units within Philips, which otherwise operated in silos. It brought together their expertise to develop solutions that offer customers a holistic connected experience11 . Graduate to a Continuous Deployment Model for Digital Initiatives Successful Digital Transformation requires a highly agile approach to software development. Software development methodologies such as DevOps12 help organizations break down silos between IT development and operations teams so that they can collaborate more effectively. DevOps helps align development and operations processes to common business objectives. It ensures that both teams operate more smoothly together. This in turn leads to the early detection and correction of problems and results in more rapid software releases. A global survey of IT executives revealed that teams that were following DevOps practices for the longest duration shipped code up to 30 times faster than their peers13 . For instance, the use of DevOps has enabled online payments firm PayPal to reduce the time taken to deploy apps from weeks to days14 . At Lloyds Banking Group, which has more than 10 million Internet banking users and processes 110 million transactions each day15 , the use of DevOps has helped accelerate the pace of Digital Transformation. Nick Stemp,
  • 5. 5 principal lead architect at Lloyds Banking Group highlights how the use of DevOps has improved software development efficiency at the bank: “We’re seeing more defects in development, which is where we want to see them. People doing the testing can do the fix, which saves us doing the fixes later in the lifecycle [where it is more costly]16 ” UK Government Digital Service:A Success Story in IT-led Digital Transformation In late 2010, the UK Government embarked on a Digital Transformation journey when it announced that public services should be delivered by default through digital channels. The government’s decision was in response to a report published by Martha Lane Fox, then UK Digital Champion and one of the most influential leaders in UK IT. The report called for a radical improvement in the government’s online services to provide higher quality and more convenient 24/7 services to users. Defining a Clear Digital Strategy and Vision: The government set up the Government Digital Service (GDS) in 2011, by merging its existing, disparate digital teams. GDS was built with the vision to be “the center for digital government in the UK, building and championing a ‘digital culture’ that puts the user first and delivers the best, low cost public services possible.” Laying Down a Strong Governance Framework for Transformation: Central to GDS’ governance strategy was the setting up of a dual-speed IT structure. GDS consisted of two distinct teams - the digital unit, which was tasked with the delivery of digital services, and the technology team, which was responsible for running traditional or “Mission IT”. Mission IT comprised Line of Business applications that ran the internal processes of individual departments. GDS also developed a comprehensive framework for the management of the two teams and their interactions. Adopting a Highly Agile Approach to Software Development: GDS needed to move swiftly in order to meet its ambitious goal of fully digitizing 25 of the most crucial public services by March 2015. To achieve its goal, GDS developed a comprehensive “Government Service Design Manual”. The manual offered customized resources to all digital teams, on the merits of using methods such as DevOps and Agile to achieve operational excellence. In addition, Agile coaches were employed to complement the work of transformation teams. As a result of these initiatives, the GOV.UK website saw more than 1500 application updates in its first year alone. The GDS has so far transformed 22 of the most significant UK public services. The overall transformation is expected to deliver between £1.7 billion and £1.8 billion in annual savings to the government as well as service users.

  • 6. 6 At Kellogg’s, CIO Brian Rice collaborated closely with the CMO to build a standardized, global web-based platform that helps marketing teams target customers more effectively. In recent years, a successful platform has emerged as a key source of competitive advantage for organizations. A successful example of the power of a platform is Amazon. By organizing itself internally around a service- oriented architecture, Amazon ensured that internal teams as well as external partners could rapidly build their own applications using Amazon’s open APIs. A platform-focused strategy has helped Amazon create a vast ecosystem of services, allowing it to scale much more rapidly. A Strong Digital Platform gives Digital Initiatives a Shot in the Arm Lloyds Banking Group:Reinventing IT for the Digital Age In 2006, Lloyds Banking Group (then Lloyds TSB) began to realize that its online retail platform could not scale to meet its future needs. Soon after, following a merger with Halifax Bank of Scotland, the bank’s online banking customer base expanded dramatically from 1.5 million to 5 million. At this point, the bank was faced with two options. The first option was to undertake a re-platforming exercise that would modernize critical aspects of the platform so that it could meet current requirements. The second option was to build an entirely new platform that would last for decades but require a huge upfront investment. The bank chose the second option. The decision proved to be the right one as the platform has played a vital role in the bank’s Digital Transformation success. Today, Lloyds Banking Group has more than 10 million active digital customers and accounts for £1.5 trillion in digital commercial client transactions per year. Lloyds Banking Group’s Digital Transformation journey offers many useful lessons. These include: Realizing the Central Role of IT in Digital Transformation: It is no longer sufficient for IT to just align its priorities with business objectives. IT must be central to a firm’s Digital Transformation journey. LBG’s executive team realized this very early. They asked a senior IT executive, Zak Mian, and a senior business executive, Ashley Machin, to set up a digital team and work together to speed-up digital innovation. Creating a Successful IT-Business Relationship: Having business and IT work together on digital initiatives ensured that they were both equally involved in creating the blueprint for the bank’s Digital Transformation. It brought down the “walls” that traditionally existed between the teams, promoted dialogue and created greater mutual understanding and trust between IT and the business. This in turn reduced costs and process delays, and accelerated time-to-market for digital initiatives. Building a Successful Digital Platform to Drive Future Growth: The digital team built a scalable digital platform as the first step towards the bank’s Digital Transformation. The team then extended the platform to new digital services, such as credit card processing. The success of the platform initiative led to other businesses, such as mortgages and commercial products, seeking out Mian and Machin to help with the Digital Transformation of their businesses. Enable Business Teams to Rapidly Rollout New Digital Initiatives Leading CIOs invest in building successful platforms that can act as engines of growth for their organizations. At Kellogg’s, for instance, CIO Brian Rice collaborated closely with Kellogg’s CMO to build a standardized, global web-based platform that supports the marketing teams at Kellogg’s in numerous ways. For instance, the Source: Leading Digital: Turning Technology into Business Transformation”, George Westerman, Didier Bonnet & Andrew McAfee, Harvard Business Review Press, October 2014; Harvard Business Review Blog Network, HBR Blog “Do You Have the IT For the Coming Digital Wave?” by Didier Bonnet, August 2013; Lloyds Banking Group, “Group Overview”, 2014; Lloyds Banking Group, “Strategic Update, Presentation to analysts and investors”, October 2014
  • 7. 7 At Dell, CIO Adriana Karaboutis’s team built a self-service platform that allows business teams to test their own product ideas. Provide an Environment for Business Teams to Test and Build Digital Solutions Leading CIOs empower business teams to build their own solutions. Rather than trying to own all IT and implementation decisions, CIOs such as Dell’s Adriana Karaboutis are comfortable with sharing control with business teams. At Dell, Karaboutis’s team built a self-service platform that allows business teams to test their own product ideas. The IT department then helps business teams take their ideas to production. Karaboutis describes the rationale behind her focus on self-service in these words: “The line between IT and business is blurring fast. The CIO who tries to maintain walls and Platform Benefits Stimulates Ecosystem Growth Provides a Base for Advanced Analytics Helps Balance Centralization versus Decentralization Enhances Customer Engagement Spurs Innovation through Self-Service Enables Rapid Expansion of Digital Services Offers open APIs to encourage partners to rapidly develop new products and services on its platform Built a self-service platform to enable business teams to develop their own product ideas Built a scalable and robust retail banking platform that enabled the rollout of several new digital services Developed a crowdsourcing platform to seek product ideas from its online customer community All websites globally are served by a single global platform – the platform allows local units to customize web content and marketing campaigns Built a global web-based platform that provides marketing teams with a single view of all customer data, which enables more personalized messaging Source: “Leading Digital: Turning Technology into Business Transformation”, George Westerman, Didier Bonnet & Andrew McAfee, Harvard Business Review Press, October 2014 Figure 3: What are the Benefits that CIOs can drive with a Strong Digital Platform? platform provides marketing teams with a single view of all customer data, which allows them to target customers with more personalized messaging. The platform also enables marketing teams to rapidly rollout new company-wide initiatives. For instance, the platform has enabled Kellogg’s to expand its loyalty program online, which allows consumers to redeem their reward points electronically17 . At Lloyds Banking Group, senior IT executive, Zak Mian, worked closely with senior business executive, Ashley Machin to build a platform that has played a foundational role in the bank’s digital retail banking success (see insert on Lloyds Banking Group). tries to own everything is the CIO who will go down quickly. This is now about a CIO who enables environments and allows choice and self-service as we move forward and look at the next best innovations.18 ”
  • 8. 8 Leading CIOs radically rationalize existing IT infrastructure, so that the resultant cost savings can be diverted to digital innovation. Rationalizing IT Infrastructure Provides Sustained Funding for Digital Initiatives Digital innovation requires sustained funding. Our research with the MIT Sloan Management Review shows that lack of funding is one of the most significant organizational barriers to Digital Transformation (see Figure 4)19 . % of respondents No “burning platform” / no sense of urgency Not enough funding Limitations of IT systems Roles and responsibilities are not clear Lack of vision Unclear business case Business units implementing independently in silos Culture not amenable to change Lack of leadership skills Regulatory concerns Others 40% 33% 29% 28% 28% 27% 23% 19% 17% 9% 5% Figure 4: Organizational Barriers to Digital Transformation Leading CIOs focus on improving the efficiencyoftraditionalIToperations,sothat the resultant cost savings can be diverted to digital innovation. They do so by radically rationalizing existing IT infrastructure in order to reduce the complexity of the IT landscape. This complexity stems from the large number of redundant and heavily customized systems and applications that organizations accumulate over time. Infact, in a survey of senior IT leaders conducted by Capgemini in 2014, 48% of respondents reported that their organizations had more applications than the business actually required20 . In order to reduce complexity dramatically, leading CIOs opt for massive IT consolidation and simplification initiatives. Consolidation involves a planned reduction in IT assets either by centralization of infrastructure or by the use of fewer, more efficient systems. IT simplification, on the other hand, involves the standardization of applications and tools, and the use of reusable assets as far as possible. For Phil Jordan, Group CIO at Telefonica, consolidation and simplification of IT infrastructure have been two of the key pillars of Telefonica’s global IT strategy. Under Phil’s leadership, Telefonica decommissioned 1,139 applications in 2013 alone. The number of systems in use has reduced from 7,000 to 4,200 in three years. Phil has also launched programs on multi-country consolidation of IT assets, as well as one of the largest private Cloud implementations in Europe. The use of off-the-shelf Cloud-based solutions has helped Telefonica cut costs significantly21 . Jordan’s focus on IT rationalization has contributed to a €14 billion debt reduction for Telefonica which helped the company return to revenue growth22 . It has also helped drive business transformation at Telefonica by strengthening the company’s digital capabilities in self-care and marketing23 .

  • 9. 9 Under CIO Phil Jordan’s leadership, Telefonica decommissioned 1,139 applications in 2013 alone. At semiconductor major Analog Devices, CIO Peter Forte launched a three- year effort to rationalize the company’s legacy infrastructure in order to deliver savings that could be used for new product development. Forte’s focus on virtualization resulted in millions of dollars of savings, which were poured back into innovation. As a result of the CIO’s efforts, the proportion of the IT budget spent on maintaining legacy infrastructure has reduced from over 80% to 62%24 . The role of IT in enabling Digital Transformation cannot be overstated. However, it is only when IT and business come together that true Digital Transformation can be achieved. CIOs can play a vital role in making this possible. By continually striving to align the IT department with the needs of the business, CIOs can contribute significantly towards strengthening the IT-business relationship and helping their organizations advance confidently into the digital future.
