UNDERSTANDING HOW A DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION FRAMEWORK LOOKS LIKE.
A digital transformation framework is the blueprint for how an organisation moves through a period of significant change because of the current evolving business conditions.
The framework is a tool, used across an organisation, that guides all levels of the organisation through the journey. It ensures that no area of the business is left unattended during the period of change.
A digital transformation framework highlights the overlapping areas of the organisation that must change. It will also be the basis of a multi-faceted program of work to deliver results. The right digital transformation framework provides a guide in a time of organised chaos.
Although digital transformation will vary widely based on the organization's specific challenges and demands, there are a few constants and common themes that all business and technology leaders should consider as they embark on digital transformation.
For instance, these digital transformation elements are often cited:
- Customer experience
- Operational agility
- Culture and leadership
- Workforce enablement
- Digital technology integration
Types of transformation:
- Process transformation
- Business Model transformation
- Domain transformation
- Cultural/Organizational transformation
A.] Process transformation
Data, analytics, APIs, machine learning and other technologies offer corporations valuable new ways to reinvent processes throughout the corporation—with the goal of lowering costs, reducing cycle times, or increasing quality.
Software development companies will build both web and mobile applications that will work on multiple devices.
B.] Business Model transformation
In this model companies pursue digital technologies to transform traditional business models. This is aimed at the fundamental building blocks of how value is delivered in the industry.
Software development companies change how web and mobile apps are built to better serve their customers.
C.] Domain transformation
New technologies are redefining products and services.
Thus, new ways of developing better performing web and mobile applications are helping out companies better serve their customers.
D.] Cultural/Organizational transformation
Digital requires agile workflows, a bias toward testing and learning, decentralized decision-making, and a greater reliance on business ecosystems.
Thus the right digital framework is one that is adaptable to an organisation yet can be phased into logical, cohesive steps that will show tangible progress. The initial phases ensure the organisation knows what it is doing and why it needs to do it.
