You probably don’t have the right transformation partner…yet.

Separated from friends, exhausted, overwhelmed, trying to beat the odds and endure the harshest of situations-it might be the fictional impression of Daniel Radcliffe in the survival movie, Jungle- it is also the reality lived by many organizations chasing the ever-elusive dream of a successful digital transformation.

Digital transformation isn’t a new buzzword. ?Over the last two years, enterprises have been forced to hit the reset button on the existing business processes and user experiences. Some organizations get a partner right away and start playing catch-up with the new processes. Some think from inside the stone-age legacy bubble while working on a threadbare digital model – an app or a website rather than an end-to-end digital journey roadmap.

Digital transformation is a marathon and not a sprint. You are in for a long haul. The disruptions happen at breakneck speed and don’t take place overnight.

The baton must be passed to the right partner to enhance your chances of survival. Without the right digital transformation partner, you could be living the reality of Daniel Radcliffe in the corporate world without any navigational maps and in a hostile environment not knowing what to do.

Ask yourself:

Is your digital transformation partner offering a comprehensive plan that is incremental, sustainable, and cost-effective?

“The first step to any project is to grossly underestimate its complexity and difficulty.” Nicoll Hunt

Digital transformation is much more than building an app or launching a website. Your digital transformation partner should be able to communicate the change and impact they can deliver via their processes. Small, phased steps with clearly defined objectives for substantial changes always work and help enterprises bounce back quickly if things don’t go as planned. A digital transformation partner that understands your business, with resources, expertise and experiences and has seen it all – is the way to ensure that your odds are increased substantially.

Digital transformation needs to be cathartic and clear-sighted. Letting go of the old, archaic, and laggard processes are often met with resistance and time-consuming discussions, and your digital transformation partner should be able to give a fair stock of why they are better left behind and how adopting new-age digitization can be beneficial to your enterprise.

?Is your digital strategy based on the core tenet of organizational culture?

Digital transformation can’t happen without taking the most important asset of a company into the picture, its people. Digitization is the process of creating data-driven strategies and innovation and empowering employees with new tools that make their life easy and the systems they operate within transparent. True digital transformation connects the employees, eliminates silos, and helps data to be accessed via cloud platforms from everywhere, anytime. It starts with the betterment of existing devices and programs to deploy collaborative tools to boost productivity.

The right digital consulting partner works with your people and leaders to define business outcomes that can drive growth and boost profits for your enterprise. It works with your people to know the issues that plague them and align digitization objectives with their business goals.

Does your digital transformation partner’s approach take customer experience to the next level or leave your customers frustrated?

So, you have gone digital but has digital transformation made your customers’ lives easier? Can you now gauge their expectations of your products or services? Can it help you predict future market projections and drive growth? Has your digital transformation approach strengthened the trust and loyalty of your customers in your enterprise?

If not, it is time to switch to a digital transformation partner that can help you address customer pain points and rethink customer experience from a new perspective.

Does your digital transformation partner have an exit plan?

Would you like to be dependent on your digital transformation partner forever while your talented internal team remain inert and clueless as to changes brought on by them and focused only on output? The right digitization partner would create strategies to empower employees by introducing agile methodologies and learning so that your enterprise can become independent and ensure continued success.?
