Digital Transformation - Part 3 DELIVER

The 5 stages of Digital Business - No.3 Deliver

The business leader orders the development of a company wide strategy for digital business and places a senior leader in charge. The leader has rallied a team to deploy a minimum viable product that creates a competitive advantage or new capability. After testing parts of the solution in the real world, the team eventually feels confident enough to launch a pilot project to test the whole offering. The team and its bimodal behaviour have expanded to include representatives from all the business functions necessary to support the product.

Example: Stratos Ltd offers an inhaler with sensors that tracks the dates and times it was used by the patient. A Bluetooth link transfers the data to an app on the patient's smartphone, which then uploads it to the cloud. Patients, physicians and carers can use the data to track whether the patient is keeping up with his medication. Adherence to medication by adult asthmatics increased by 59%, and severe attacks declined 60%.
